Why does my vagina itch all the time?

Vaginal itching is a relatively common disease among women, with a relatively high incidence rate. Itching often makes people feel uneasy and unable to concentrate on doing anything. So how do we solve this worrying problem? Next, we will make some simple analysis and introduction on why the vagina is always itchy, and put forward some more effective suggestions for solving the problem of vaginal itching.

1. Vulvar dryness: Excessive use of potassium permanganate solution for sitz baths and vulvar dryness in postmenopausal women can also cause vulvar itching, which is the main cause of vulvar itching.

2. Various vulvar diseases: such as vulvar eczema, vulvar hypopigmentation or leukoplakia, vulvar ringworm, vulvar neurodermatitis, vulvar condyloma, etc. can cause vulvar itching.

3. Irritation from secretions: Inflammation of the reproductive tract caused by fungi, gonococci, Trichomonas, and bacteria, which produces abnormal leucorrhea, as well as irritation from urine (thin urine, urinary incontinence) and feces (thin feces) can cause vulvar itching.

4. Chemicals and drugs can cause local itching due to irritation: such as alkaline soaps, condoms, sanitary napkins, synthetic underwear, etc., which can directly irritate the local area and cause itching.

Solution: Keep the vulva clean and dry, especially during menstruation, pregnancy and postpartum period, wash the vulva and change underwear every day. Do not wear synthetic underwear or tight pants, wear cotton underwear. When taking a local sitz bath, pay attention to the solution concentration, temperature, time, and precautions. People with vulvar itching should cut their nails and wash their hands frequently, and avoid scratching their skin to prevent ulceration and infection, which may lead to secondary bacterial infection. Do not use irritating soaps, medicines, or water that is too cold or too hot to clean the vulva, so as not to disrupt the acid-base balance of the vagina.
