With the arrival of autumn and winter, the skin will become dry and itchy. At this time, the problem can be solved by simply applying some moisturizer. However, itching in the female genitals is a problem that is difficult to talk about and it is also a problem that troubles many women. If a woman's private parts become itchy, she should neither scratch nor apply medication without permission. So, what causes itching in women’s private parts? How to solve the itching in female genitals?

Bad hygiene habits

The cause of female vaginal itching is generally because the vulva is close to the urethra, vagina, and anus. Under the long-term stimulation of vaginal secretions, urine, menstrual blood, etc., if personal vulva hygiene is not done well at this time, it can easily lead to vulvitis or vaginitis, thereby causing female vaginal itching.

There are many ways for women to be infected with bacteria and develop vaginitis. In addition to being transmitted through sexual intercourse, vaginitis can also be transmitted through public baths, bathtubs, towels, etc.

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.

If you do not pay attention to the local cleanliness of the vulva, sebum, sweat, menstruation, vaginal secretions, and even urine and feces will soak in it, and long-term stimulation of the vulva can cause itching.

Drug allergy

The itching caused by some drugs in women with allergic constitution often occurs at the junction of the skin and mucous membrane of the vulva. 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.

Tight underwear does not absorb sweat

Non-breathable underwear does not absorb sweat, which will make the vulva too moist for a long time and cause vulva itching. Using rubber or plastic menstrual belts during menstruation and wearing non-breathable chemical fiber underwear at other times can induce itching due to accumulation of damp heat. If women don't want to be troubled by itching every day, it is best to wear loose full-body underwear.

The above is an introduction to the causes of itching in female genitals. In fact, many private itchings are caused by bad hygiene habits. As long as you seek medical attention in time, cooperate with the doctor's treatment, correct bad hygiene habits, change underwear frequently, participate in more physical exercise, and enhance your own resistance, you can avoid the occurrence of private inflammation.
