What medicine should women use for urethral itching

The female urethral opening is close to the vaginal opening. These two parts are very susceptible to external bacterial infection. In life, the incidence of urethritis and vaginitis is very high. Due to the special physiological structure of women, the vagina is always moist after urination, and the urethral opening is often irritated by urine. If the weather is hot and the underwear is not changed in time, the urethral opening will always feel itchy. When we encounter the following situations, let’s see how to use the medicine.

1. Causes of female urethral infection: Because the female urethra is shorter and the urethral opening is near the perineum, bacteria can easily invade the urethra; coupled with the high temperature, the human body sweats a lot, and the female vulva has particularly abundant sweat glands. If not properly cared for, the vulva can easily become moist for a long time. At this time, bacteria will multiply very quickly and take advantage of the opportunity to enter the body, causing urethritis, leading to urethral congestion and edema, and symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and pain when urinating.

2. Symptoms of urinary tract infection in women: Common symptoms include slight itching of the vulva, increased leucorrhea, mild burning sensation when urinating, mild discomfort in the urethral opening, and menstrual disorders.

3. The hazards of female urethral infection Gynecological experts point out that female urethral infection can be complicated by cervicitis, vaginitis, endometritis, adnexitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and severe urethritis can even lead to female infertility or miscarriage, stillbirth, ectopic pregnancy, etc. Pay attention to symptomatic treatment of vulvar itching caused by urethral infection. The treatment of vulvar itching mainly focuses on identifying the cause and treating it symptomatically.

4. When preventing it, you should always pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva, wear cotton underwear that is not too tight, avoid using alkaline soaps, and try to reduce mechanical stimulation to the vulva. At the same time, you should avoid mental stress and not cover yourself too thickly when sleeping, which can reduce the pain and itching. You should also refrain from smoking, drink less alcohol and coffee. Avoid eating spicy and irritating foods. For vulvar pain and itching that cannot be diagnosed for the time being, 3% boric acid or 1% to 2% chlorpheniramine solution can be used for local wet compresses. If necessary, chlorpheniramine can be taken orally, but hormones, iodine, alcohol, etc. should not be used.
