What is the cause of vulvar itching and cracks?

Vulvar itching and cracking is a condition that troubles the health of many women. If any woman has such a condition, she needs timely treatment. However, most people are not very clear about the causes of vulvar itching and cracks. If the causes are not understood, there is no way to find the appropriate treatment, which will delay the disease and lead to other gynecological diseases.

What is the cause of vulvar itching and cracks?

Vulvar itching and cracks are mostly caused by vaginitis caused by trichomonas or fungal infection, which causes a large amount of abnormal leucorrhea to irritate the vulva and cause vulvar itching; if the vulva and vagina are flushed with disinfectant, or certain drugs are placed in the vagina (such as sulfonamides, furacillin, strong alkaline soaps, potassium permanganate solution, etc.), causing vulvar skin allergies or dermatitis, it can also cause vulvar itching.

Not paying attention to hygiene during menstruation, or using rubber or plastic menstrual belts, and not cleaning the vulva regularly, causing menstrual blood or vaginal secretions to accumulate in the vulva for a long time; or wearing synthetic underwear at ordinary times, which often puts the vulva in a hot and humid environment, often causing vulva itching. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital gynecology department for a pathogenic examination of vaginal or cervical secretions, and symptomatic treatment after a clear diagnosis.

Vulvar itching is a sign of cracks, so be aware that it may be caused by scratching. You should check whether it is caused by vaginitis or vulvitis. You should go to the hospital for examination, and then you can use lotions or antibiotics for treatment. Keep the vulva dry to promote wound healing.

Vulvar itching can be caused by many reasons. Local causes include special infections (such as candidal vaginitis, Trichomonas vaginitis, pubic lice, scabies, pinworm disease), chronic vulvar malnutrition, drug allergy or chemical irritation, poor hygiene habits, skin diseases, etc. If the cause is clear, the disease is not difficult to cure. However, most vulvar itching currently has nothing to do with these microorganisms, but is instead caused by chronic dermatitis or eczema caused by long-term stimulation from physical, chemical and other factors.

Insist on washing the perineum with clean water every day, wear loose, sweat-absorbent, breathable underwear, and change underwear frequently. Eliminate local or systemic factors causing itching. For example, bacterial vaginosis can be treated with gel disinfectant. You can try anti-allergy medicine. But I still recommend you go to the hospital for diagnosis.

The above content is some of the reasons for vulvar itching and cracks. I believe that female friends have already mastered and understood them, and they can then receive corresponding treatment based on their own situation. However, female friends must know that everyone’s physical condition is different, so they must choose a treatment method that suits them in order to effectively treat the disease.
