High blood sugar can cause vulvar itching

With the improvement of living standards, more and more people are suffering from diabetes. Once you have diabetes, you need to take medicine to control blood sugar for life, because high blood sugar can cause a variety of complications. In severe cases, it can cause pancreatic dysfunction, hypocalcemia, hyperosmolar coma, etc., so timely treatment is needed. So, will high blood sugar cause vulvar itching? In fact, vulvar itching is one of the clinical symptoms of hyperglycemia. Below are some of the more common symptoms in patients with hyperglycemia.

1. Vulvar itching: If women often experience vulvar itching, it is recommended to check whether they have diabetes. The reason is that excessive sugar in the urine causes bacterial infection and leads to itching.

2. Skin itching: The incidence of skin itching in the diabetic and non-diabetic groups was 11.3% and 2.9% respectively. This is because high blood sugar can change the condition of the skin, provide a breeding ground for bacteria and fungi, reduce the body's resistance, and cause complications such as abducens neuropathy, vascular degeneration, and skin infections. In addition, the skin and mucous membranes of diabetic patients are often in a state of chronic dehydration, lack of oxygen and malnutrition, and are drier than the skin of normal people. In addition, the skin's elasticity decreases, the epidermis becomes ultra-thin, and sweat decreases, causing the skin to become excessively dry and itchy. The skin's regeneration ability and anti-infection barrier function are reduced, making it prone to various infections, especially bacterial infections.

3. Changes in taste buds. Many people like to eat sweet things more after they develop diabetes. This is because diabetes increases the threshold for perceiving sugar levels.

4. Blurred vision. Some people always feel dizzy and even have trouble wearing glasses after getting diabetes. This is because high blood sugar causes deformation of the eye lens. Therefore, it is recommended that if blood sugar levels are not well controlled, do not rush to wear glasses. You should wait until blood sugar levels stabilize before wearing them.
