Why does the clitoris itch?

When the vagina is infected, the patient will feel itching inside the vagina. The entire vagina may be particularly itchy, and may even cause urethral infection, leading to clitoral itching. You need to pay attention to this situation in normal times. First, check the source of the inflammation, find the cause of the disease, pathological factors and type of disease, and give corresponding treatment and examination.

(A) Special infections: Candidal vaginitis and Trichomonas vaginitis are the most common causes of vulvar itching. Lice and scabies can also cause itching. The itching around the anus and vulva of young girls caused by enterobiasis usually only occurs at night.

(ii) Chronic vulvar dystrophy is characterized by severe itching, accompanied by whitening of the vulvar skin.

(III) Drug allergy or chemical irritation: Soap, condoms, Sanisol, mercurochrome, etc. may cause contact dermatitis due to direct irritation or allergy, resulting in itching symptoms.

Not paying attention to the local cleaning of the vulva, sebum, sweat, menstruation, vaginal secretions, and even urine and feces will cause long-term stimulation to the vulva and cause itching: using rubber or plastic menstrual belts during menstruation and wearing non-breathable chemical fiber underwear at other times can induce itching due to the accumulation of damp heat. It should be noted that when cleaning the vulva every day, it is more appropriate to use a female care solution with a weak acid formula of Ph4.

(V) Other skin lesions, abrasions, common warts, herpes, eczema, and tumors can all cause vulvar itching.

(6) Sexual intercourse allergy: This is an allergic reaction that occurs during sexual intercourse. They are allergy to semen, condom allergy, and friction allergy.

1. Diabetes

Due to the irritation of diabetes to the vulvar skin, especially when accompanied by fungal vulvitis, vulvar itching is particularly severe. Many patients first seek medical attention due to itching and redness of the vulva, and are diagnosed with diabetes only after further examination.

(ii) When patients with jaundice, vitamin A and B deficiency, anemia, leukemia and other chronic diseases experience vulvar itching, it is often part of general itching.

(3) Vulvar congestion during pregnancy and premenstrual period may occasionally cause vulvar itching and discomfort.

(IV) Unexplained vulvar pruritus Some patients have very severe vulvar pruritus, but no obvious systemic or local cause can be found. Some people believe that it may be related to mental or psychological factors.
