What causes vulvar itching?

The problem of vulvar wetness and itching is mostly caused by some vaginal diseases. Especially due to the special physiological structure of women, it is easy to be threatened by diseases such as candidal vaginitis, trichomoniasis vaginitis, and gonococcal vaginitis, so you must pay attention to hygiene and avoid external stimulation.

1. Vaginal diseases: Candidal vaginitis, Trichomonas vaginitis, senile vaginitis, gonococcal vaginitis, mycoplasma, chlamydia infection, etc. This disease can easily be transmitted between sexual partners. During treatment, the sexual partners must be treated at the same time to prevent cross infection and achieve a complete cure.

2. Bad hygiene habits: Not developing the habit of cleaning the vulva every day, or not changing and washing underwear frequently. If sanitary appliances are not dedicated, or if the same basin is used for bathing and washing feet, these can transmit bacteria and cause infection.

3. External stimulation : Sometimes birth control pills can also cause itching. Itching can also be caused by tight underwear, friction from underwear, and irritation from the menstrual period. Due to the lack of attention to the hygiene of the vulva, irritants from vaginal secretions, vulvar secretions, sweat, moisture, immersion, synthetic underwear, unqualified menstrual period belts, rough toilet paper, allergies caused by vulvar and vaginal medications, and frequent washing of the vulva with soap can all lead to vulvar itching.

4. Local vulvar lesions: common warts, herpes, eczema, condyloma acuminatum, vulvar squamous cell hyperplasia, lichen sclerosus, pubic lice, scabies, etc.

5. Systemic diseases: diabetes, jaundice, cholestasis and other pruritus of unknown causes.
