When the itching worsens, the patient often becomes restless, which affects his life and work. Candidal vaginitis and Trichomonas vaginitis are the most common causes of vulvar itching. Lice and scabies can also cause itching. Pinworm infection causes itching around the anus and vulva of young girls, which usually only occurs at night.

The itching of the anus, labia and scrotum is collectively called vulvar pruritus. There are many pathogens that cause vulvar pruritus, such as pinworms, trichomonas, scabies, fungi and bacteria.

However, most vulvar pruritus is not related to these microorganisms, but is caused by chronic dermatitis or eczema caused by long-term stimulation of physical, chemical and other factors. It should be differentiated from Trichomonas, fungal vaginitis and white lesions of the vulva.
