What causes itching on both sides of a woman's vagina?

Many women encounter some problems in life that are difficult to explain to others, especially problems with the reproductive system. They will feel particularly embarrassed if they talk about it with others. It is just that some women do not pay attention to taking care of their health, which causes certain damage to their reproductive organs. Take the itching on both sides of the vagina as an example, which is a problem that women often encounter. What causes vaginal itching?

1. Local causes

1. Special Infection

Vaginal candidiasis and Trichomonas vaginitis are the most common causes of vulvar itching. Lice and scabies can also cause itching. The itching around the anus and vulva of young girls caused by enterobiasis usually only occurs at night.

2. Chronic vulvar malnutrition is characterized by severe itching, accompanied by whitening of the vulvar skin.

3. Drug allergy or chemical irritation: Soap, condoms, Sanisol, mercurochrome, etc. can cause contact dermatitis due to direct irritation or allergy, resulting in itching symptoms.

4. Bad hygiene habits

If you do not pay attention to the local cleaning of the vulva, sebum, sweat, menstruation, vaginal secretions, and even urine and feces will soak in the vulva for a long time, which can cause itching. Using rubber or plastic menstrual belts during menstruation and wearing airtight chemical fiber underwear at other times can induce itching due to the accumulation of damp heat.

5. Other skin lesions, abrasions, common warts, herpes, eczema, and tumors can all cause vulvar itching.

2. Systemic causes

1. Diabetes

Due to the irritation of diabetes to the vulvar skin, especially when accompanied by fungal vulvitis, vulvar itching is particularly severe. Many patients first seek medical attention due to itching and redness of the vulva, and are diagnosed with diabetes only after further examination.

2. When patients with jaundice, vitamin A and B deficiency, anemia, leukemia and other chronic diseases experience vulvar itching, it is often a part of the itching of the whole body.

3. Vulvar congestion during pregnancy and premenstrual period may occasionally cause vulvar itching and discomfort.

4. Unexplained vulvar itching: Some patients have very severe vulvar itching, but no obvious systemic or local cause can be found. Some people currently believe that it may be related to mental or psychological factors.

In short, if you have vaginitis and itching on both sides of your vagina, then don't worry about your facial problems anymore. Go see a doctor if you have any problems. When talking to a doctor, you must explain your condition in detail to the doctor one by one, so that the doctor can better understand your current condition and find a more accurate and scientific treatment method.
