Private itching is a problem that many female friends often face. It will not only make you embarrassed and restless, but also seriously disrupt your daily life and cause you a lot of trouble. However, private part itching is a problem that cannot be ignored. So, what exactly is causing private itching? Many people want to figure this out. Let us now understand what causes itching in the female private parts.

If a woman's pubic hair is itchy, it is generally considered to be caused by vulvovaginitis, eczema, pubic lice, vulvar leukoplakia, etc., and she needs to go to the hospital's gynecology department for a detailed examination to confirm the cause and provide symptomatic treatment.

Symptoms of vulvitis: Mainly manifested as itching, pain or burning sensation of the vulva, which is aggravated by walking, working, riding a bicycle, sexual intercourse and urination. The vulva skin is red and swollen with increased exudate, scratches, and sometimes ulcers. The skin is broken or there are patches of blisters, papules, and eczema. After a long course of the disease, the skin becomes thickened and rough, the color changes, and even skin cracking occurs.

Symptoms of eczema: It is characterized by polymorphic skin lesions (erythema, papules, blisters, etc.) in the acute phase, a tendency to exudation, and conscious itching; the chronic phase is often dominated by lichenification and is prone to recurrence.

Symptoms of pubic lice: Itching is the main symptom of pubic lice. It is paroxysmal, but the degree of itching varies from person to person. The itching is caused by the pubic lice using their claws to pierce or pierce the skin, and the lice bite and inject saliva. Pubic lice inject saliva when sucking blood because saliva can prevent blood from clotting, which facilitates blood sucking. Pubic lice suck blood several times a day, so the itching is paroxysmal. Symptoms of vulvar leukoplakia: severe itching of the vulva, accompanied by hypopigmentation and whitening of the skin and mucous membranes, and local thickening and coarsening of the skin.

◆◆Experts remind: There are many reasons for female vulvar itching. In addition to the above symptoms, it may also be fungal infection, or it may be related to personal neglect of private hygiene, unclean sexual behavior, or underwear and socks are often washed together. It is recommended that women with vulvar itching go to the hospital for examination. If it is caused by a disease, active treatment should be given. In addition, you must pay attention to keeping the area dry, wash the pubic hair and surrounding areas with warm water every day, and wear loose, sweat-absorbent, and breathable underwear.
