The female reproductive tract has two natural lines of defense. One is the "anatomical line of defense", which has five checkpoints from the outside to the inside. The scope of female vaginal hygiene often involves the first and second checkpoints.

The first level

At the vulva, the labia majora on both sides close naturally, covering the vaginal opening, making it difficult for bacteria to enter.

The second level

In the vagina, due to the action of the pelvic floor muscles, the front and back walls of the vagina are tightly attached and the vaginal opening is closed, which can prevent external pollution. If the woman is a multiparous woman, her vagina will become loose after delivery and its defense function will be weakened.

The other is the "physiological defense line".

on the one hand,

Under the influence of estrogen, vaginal epithelial cells continue to metabolize, proliferate and thicken, increasing resistance to pathogens.

on the other hand,

Under the action of vaginal lactobacilli, the glycogen rich in the vaginal epithelial cells can be broken down into lactic acid to maintain the normal acidic environment of the vagina, thereby inhibiting pathogens that adapt to the weak alkaline environment and reproducing. This is medically called the self-purification function of the vagina. Therefore, although there are some bacteria in the vagina of healthy women, they usually do not cause inflammation.

The treatment and care of vulvar pruritus during menstruation is the main focus. We must defend the barrier of vaginal cleanliness in order to treat vulvar pruritus during menstruation. At this time, patients should choose sanitary napkins that are suitable for them. Many of them do not meet hygiene standards and will irritate the vulva after use, which will aggravate itching. At the same time, the vulva must be cleaned to prevent menstrual blood from irritating the vulva skin, and sanitary napkins must be changed frequently.
