Why is the vulva dry and itchy?

Women often suffer from gynecological diseases after marriage. This is due to their special physiological structure, which makes their private parts susceptible to infection and difficult to cure, greatly reducing their quality of life and having a great negative impact on their marital life. Therefore, it is recommended that women should pay attention to the prevention of gynecological diseases, maintain a balanced diet, and pay attention to personal hygiene. Otherwise, it will affect various inflammations and vulvar dryness and itching. Let’s take a look at the specific reasons.

Causes of vulvar dryness and itching

1. High psychological pressure

Work and life pressure can cause low libido, delayed sexual arousal, and vaginal dryness.

2. Lack of sexual excitement

When a woman has sexual desire but it does not reach the necessary level, or when her husband gets straight to the point, it will lead to less secretion of female body fluids, resulting in vaginal dryness.

3. Suffering from vaginitis

If you suffer from vaginitis, the vaginal mucosa will become congested during sexual intercourse, resulting in a decrease in secretions, which will cause vaginal dryness.

4. Endocrine disorders

If women over 35 have frequent menstrual irregularities over a period of time, it may mean endocrine disorders, which can also lead to a decrease in vaginal secretions. Menopausal women may experience dryness due to the decrease in hormone levels in the body after menopause. They can supplement estrogen in appropriate amounts under the guidance of a doctor.

5. Flushing too frequently

Many women think that leucorrhea is dirty and often do deep vaginal washing repeatedly. However, it is this excessive cleaning that causes the vagina to be unable to retain the necessary secretions and beneficial bacteria, resulting in vaginal dryness.

6. Genital infection

Forcing sexual intercourse when the vagina is dry will cause vaginal congestion and even swelling, damage the vaginal wall mucosa, leading to infection and even inducing various diseases, making vaginal dryness more severe.

7. Unbalanced diet

Vitamin B2 is a substance necessary for biological oxidation in the body. Normally, when there is a lack of vitamin B2, the human body will experience symptoms such as angular cheilitis, blepharitis, conjunctivitis, dry and desquamated skin. Problems may also occur in the mucosal layer within the human body's cavities, causing mucosal lesions such as mucosal thinning, mucosal damage, and microvascular rupture. The damage caused to female reproductive organs is even more serious. The most typical symptoms are dryness of the vaginal wall, congestion and ulceration of the vaginal mucosa, which directly affect sexual desire, causing loss of libido, frigidity and sexual discomfort.
