Causes of red and swollen bumps on the vulva

Modern women live in a materially affluent society and lead a life of luxury. This kind of life can easily paralyze women's will and make them unable to fully pay attention to their health problems, especially reproductive health problems. Women are often at a loss and panic when facing these problems. For example, the phenomenon of redness and swelling of the vulva and small bumps makes women very scared. So, what are the causes of redness and swelling of the vulva?

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 diseases of the vulva: 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 stimulation from urine (thin urine, urinary incontinence) and feces (thin feces) can cause vulvar itching.

4. Chemicals and drugs stimulate local itching: such as alkaline soaps, condoms, sanitary napkins, synthetic underwear, etc., which directly contact the local area and stimulate itching.

5. 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. According to statistics, 3.4% of 500 diabetic patients had localized itching, mainly vulvar itching.

6. Drug rash: "Fixed drug rash" caused by women with allergic constitution taking sulfonamides or other drugs often occurs at the junction of the skin and mucous membrane of the vulva, causing local itching. Vulvar itching may also occur if allergic reactions and contact dermatitis occur after using drugs for vaginal douching or vaginal implantation.

The above is an explanation of the causes of red and swollen small bumps on the vulva. I hope all women can understand that this phenomenon has a great impact on women’s physical health. Therefore, if women want to improve the quality of their bodies in life, they must first change some living habits and pay attention to reproductive health.
