What causes vulvar itching?

As all female friends know, the female vulva is a particularly sensitive area, and if it is not cared for, it will get sick. Vulvar pruritus is a very common gynecological disease. Vulvar pruritus can cause people to have difficulty sleeping and eating, and to feel restless. Vulvar itching often occurs on the clitoris and labia minora, and may also affect the labia majora, perineum and perianal area. Vulvar itching accounts for a large proportion of female physiological diseases.

1. Chronic local irritation, irritation from abnormal secretions of vulva, vagina and cervix inflammation;

2. Unclean vulva and tight synthetic underwear, sanitary napkins, etc. lead to poor permeability;

3. Vulvar parasitic diseases, such as pubic lice, pinworms, scabies, etc.;

4. Various vulvar skin diseases and vulvar tumors, etc.;

5. Local vulvar symptoms of systemic diseases, such as diabetes, uremia, vitamin deficiency, etc.

6. Vulvar itching is mostly caused by vulvar inflammation caused by trichomonas or fungal infection, which causes a large amount of abnormal leucorrhea to irritate the vulva and cause itching; 7. If disinfectant is used to wash the vulva and vagina, or certain drugs are placed in the vagina (such as sulfonamides, furacillin, strong alkaline soap, potassium permanganate solution, etc.), causing vulvar skin allergies or dermatitis, it can also cause vulvar itching;

8. Not paying attention to hygiene during menstruation, or using rubber or plastic menstrual belts, and failing to clean 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 causes vulva itching.

In fact, vulvar itching is very easy to treat. Generally speaking, if the condition is not particularly serious, female friends can directly wash it with clean water at home. Just apply some medicine recommended by the doctor on the outside of the vagina. However, if the condition is very serious, friends need to go to a professional doctor for treatment and seek professional treatment.
