What should I do if I feel itchy down there during menstruation?

During the menstrual period, the private parts may be relatively stuffy and hot, so many women will feel itchy in the private parts. However, at this time, they are in their menstrual period and must understand the correct way to deal with it, so as to avoid the rapid reproduction and growth of bacteria. They must change sanitary napkins frequently and not scratch with their hands.

1. The damp and stuffy environment of the vulva will cause bacteria to multiply rapidly. During menstruation, the private parts have a lot of secretions and are often in a humid state. If the sanitary napkins you choose are thick and not changed often, and the environment is not breathable, coupled with the relatively low resistance during menstruation, bacteria can multiply rapidly and cause local inflammation or vulvar itching. If at this time, women can't help scratching, or rub their vagina vigorously, wash it vigorously with soap, or scald it with hot water, it will not only fail to eliminate the root cause of the disease, but will also worsen the symptoms and make the itching more severe.

2. The best way to deal with vulvar itching during menstruation is not to scratch, scald or rub, but to keep the body clean and dry. For example, use sanitary napkins with dry mesh and good breathability, and wash the vulva frequently to avoid itching and bacterial growth. Also make sure to choose clean sanitary napkins and change them frequently, and wash your hands before changing them.

3. In order to avoid poor ventilation, you should also avoid wearing tight clothes during menstruation. If the private parts are covered too tightly, the body odor will not be easy to dissipate. If it accumulates for a long time, the embarrassing smell will become stronger and stronger. In addition, the long-term closed state can easily cause vulvar itching.

4. It should be noted that when itching occurs, all rough behaviors should be prohibited, such as scratching. The correct approach should be to wash the area with warm water, replace the dirty sanitary napkin, put on pure cotton and breathable underwear, and try to keep it clean and dry. Also, be careful to avoid drinking alcohol or eating spicy food during menstruation. If the itching does not subside and is accompanied by other symptoms and feels abnormal, you should consider that it is caused by an internal disease and go to the gynecology department as soon as possible.
