Why is my vagina itchy?

Many female friends cannot work peacefully when they have vaginal itching, which has a significant impact on our lives. Because the vagina is a very important part of women, it is also easily infected by external factors. Many bacteria will enter our body inadvertently. When we have vaginal itching, we must find out the cause in time. So what is the matter with the itchy genitals?

Common causes of vaginal itching include:

1. Non-specific vaginitis: There is a feeling of heaviness and burning in the vulva and vagina, a large amount of vaginal epithelium falls off, the vaginal mucosa is congested, and there is obvious tenderness. In severe cases, general fatigue and lower abdominal discomfort may occur, and the amount of leucorrhea may be large and purulent or serous. The outflow of leucorrhea may irritate the urethra, causing frequent urination and painful urination.

2. Candidal vaginitis: The prominent symptoms of this disease are increased leucorrhea and severe itching of the vulva. When the symptoms are severe, the patient may become restless and suffer from abnormal pain. There may also be frequent urination, painful urination, and pain during intercourse. The leucorrhea is white and thick, resembling dregs of soybean dregs, the vaginal mucosa is highly edematous, the vulva is burning, and there is white flaky film adhering to it, which is easy to peel off. Underneath is an eroded base of the damaged mucosa or a shallow ulcer. In severe cases, ecchymosis may remain, which is a typical symptom of this disease. Another type of patient has a large amount of watery or purulent leucorrhea without white flakes, moderate redness and edema of the vaginal mucosa, no severe itching or burning sensation, only a feeling of moisture in the vulva.

3. Trichomonas vaginitis: Leucorrhea increases and is yellow-white, occasionally with yellow-green pus, often foamy and fishy. When the disease is severe, it will be mixed with blood. It is followed by low back pain, frequent urination, painful urination, vulvar itching, and dull pain in the lower abdomen. The vaginal mucosa is red and swollen, with scattered bleeding spots or strawberry-shaped protrusions, which occasionally cause pain during intercourse.

If a female friend experiences vaginal itching, it is likely caused by the above reasons. You can use medication to treat it, but it must be done under the guidance of a doctor. During the treatment, it is best not to have sex. Men and women should receive treatment at the same time, which will have a better effect on the treatment and avoid bacterial infection again.
