What should women do if they have itching in their urethra?

Itching on the body is the most common symptom in life. At this time, we often scratch it and the itch will go away. This is a very normal thing. However, under the influence of the disease, many women feel an itchy sensation at the vaginal opening that does not go away even if they scratch it with their hands. So the question is, what should women do when they encounter urethral itching?

Due to the special structure of the female urethra, it often causes inflammation. Itching of the female urethra is a common symptom of gynecological inflammation. The main cause of female urethral itching is that women's daily physiological hygiene is not clean, which causes bacterial infection and leads to gynecological inflammation such as vaginitis. The following is an analysis of common symptoms of female urethral itching:

Fungal vaginitis: Women may experience itching of the vulva, vagina, vaginal opening, urethral opening, vulvar flushing, and dregs-like leucorrhea with an odor. Scratching may cause eczematous changes of the vulvar dermatitis.

Vaginal trichomoniasis: Women experience itching of the vulva and vagina, itching of the urethra, foamy leucorrhea, often accompanied by a special odor, and eczematous changes in the vulva after scratching. A vaginal smear test can be used to distinguish it from the above conditions.

Unclean local skin: Some women use toilet paper improperly, and the skin of the vulva is soaked by menstrual blood, vaginal secretions, and even urine, feces and sweat, which causes chronic inflammation of the local skin, causing itching of the vulva and urethra.

In addition to local itching, it may be complicated by erosion and exudation. If you use drugs for vaginal washing or vaginal insertion, if allergic reactions and contact dermatitis occur, vulvar itching and urethral itching may also occur.
