Why is the vulva itchy? Many women may have experienced vulvar itching. Some severe cases have even affected their normal life and work, causing great trouble. Generally, most vulvar itching is caused by diseases, so you must pay attention to it so that you can find the cause as soon as possible and adjust your body. Let us take a closer look at the causes of vaginal itching.

The common causes of vulvar itching are as follows:

1. External stimulation: such as not paying attention to the hygiene of the vulva, stimulation from vaginal secretions, vulvar secretions, sweat, moisture, immersion, chemical fiber underwear, unqualified menstrual belts, rough toilet paper, allergies caused by vulvar and vaginal medication, and frequent washing of the vulva with soap can all lead to vulvar itching.

2. Caused by infectious diseases: such as candidal vaginitis, Trichomonas vaginitis, infection with pubic lice, scabies, pinworms, etc. In addition to vulvar itching, candidal vaginitis will also cause tofu-like leucorrhea with an odor. In case of Trichomonas vaginitis, in addition to vulvar itching, there will be foamy leucorrhea with a special odor.

3. Skin diseases of the vulva: The skin lesions of tinea cruris often extend to the vulva, causing severe local itching. The local itching caused by vulvar eczema and neurodermatitis is more severe. The former is manifested as papules and blisters with unclear local skin boundaries and erosion exudate, while the latter often causes thickening of the skin with lichenification due to scratching. In addition to causing local itching, leukoplakia of the vulva is often accompanied by vulvar malnutrition and skin atrophy.

4. Systemic diseases: Systemic diseases mainly include diabetes, anemia, leukemia, polycythemia, skin diseases, hepatobiliary diseases (such as jaundice), kidney diseases, lymphoma, etc. In addition to general itching, vulvar itching is often accompanied.

In addition, viral infections, such as genital warts, may also cause symptoms of vaginal itching, so when you encounter these situations, you must pay attention to timely treatment, so that you can recover as soon as possible. Moreover, if women do not regulate their bodies frequently, it will affect your fertility, so you must pay great attention to it.
