What causes itching in the female genitals?

Many women often experience vaginal itching, and most women believe that it is caused by their lack of attention to hygiene. Many women do not take vaginal itching seriously, and think that it can be cured as long as they listen more often in their daily lives. In fact, this is not the case. If women experience vaginal itching, they may be suffering from some gynecological diseases. So what exactly is going on? Here are some of the causes of vaginal itching in women.

1. Fungal vaginitis: itching of the vulva and vagina, flushing of the vulva, dregs-like leucorrhea with odor, and scratching can cause eczematous changes of the vulvar dermatitis.

2. Local skin uncleanness: 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 and causes vulva itching.

3. Sexual allergy: This is an allergic reaction that occurs during sexual intercourse. They are allergy to semen, condom allergy, and friction allergy.

4. Sexually transmitted diseases: Genital warts mostly occur on the female vaginal wall, cervical opening and vulva, and may also cause foul-smelling leucorrhea. Molluscum contagiosum occurring on the vulva is mostly manifested as round papules with an umbilical-like depression in the center, and may also cause itching of the vulva. Genital herpes is often manifested by the appearance of bright, rice-sized blisters on the urethral opening and vaginal wall, accompanied by local itching.

5. Drug allergy: "Fixed drug rash" caused by sulfonamides or other 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. Vulvar itching may also occur if allergic reactions and contact dermatitis occur when using drugs for vaginal washing or vaginal insertion.

6. Vaginal trichomoniasis: Itching of the vulva and vagina, foamy leucorrhea, often accompanied by a special odor, and eczematous changes in the vulva after scratching. A vaginal smear test can be used to distinguish it from the above conditions.
