Vulvar itching after sex with husband

Sex is an indispensable part of married life and is the lubricant of life for men and women. However, in real life, many women are unwilling to have sex with their significant other. This is mostly related to the fact that women are unable to reach orgasm during sex, or that the other party is too rough and angry. In fact, there is another big reason, that is, many women experience itching in the vulva after having sex with their partners, so they suspect that their partners are unfaithful to them, which further affects the sex life and feelings of both parties over time.

This is called candidal vaginitis, which usually only occurs in women. But the bacteria will attach to the man's place. So the disease relapsed every time I had sex. This bacteria becomes particularly active when the seasons change. It is common for 99% of married women to go to the hospital for treatment, and treatment is required for both husband and wife. Girls use medicine to wash their vaginas, and boys take medicine to inhibit bacteria.

But this is not an infectious disease, it's not that scary. It's not because men are having affairs, it's caused by air fungus.

1. Causes

Candida is a fungus, and the one that usually causes vaginitis is Candida albicans. Candida is not resistant to heat and will die after being heated to 60°C for 1 hour. However, it is more resistant to dryness, sunlight, ultraviolet rays and chemicals.

2. Clinical manifestations

The typical symptom of candidal vaginitis is vulvar itching, and the itching symptoms vary from mild to severe, and come and go. When the itching is severe, the patient will be restless and unable to sleep or eat. When the inflammation is severe, urination pain and sexual intercourse pain may also occur. Increased vaginal discharge is another major symptom of this disease. The vaginal discharge is usually thick and appears to be dregs or curd-like.

3. Inspection

Gynecological examination showed that the leucorrhea was white, thick and resembling tofu dregs; the vaginal mucosa was red and swollen, and in severe cases, shallow ulcers were formed in the vagina. The secretion was placed on a 10% KOH slide and the hyphae were found under a microscope. If there are symptoms but multiple microscopic examinations are negative, culture can be used.

4. Diagnosis

1. The vulva is extremely itchy, and the leucorrhea is white, thick and resembling tofu dregs;

2. Redness and swelling of the vaginal mucosa, with shallow ulcers forming in severe cases;

3. Candida albicans is found in vaginal secretions. You can take a small amount of vaginal secretions, put it on a 10% KOH or saline slide, mix it well, and find the hyphae under a microscope to confirm the diagnosis. 10% KOH can dissolve other cell components, and the positive detection rate is 70% to 80%. If there are symptoms but multiple microscopic examinations are negative, culture can be used to confirm the diagnosis.
