What should I do if I have vaginal itching?

Vaginal itching is usually caused by vaginitis, which is a common gynecological disease in women. It is usually caused by lack of attention to hygiene and is related to sexual life. It needs to be taken seriously. Vaginitis is usually divided into many types. Let us learn how to deal with vaginal itching. There are some treatments for vaginitis, and you will understand once you learn about them.

Symptoms of bacterial vaginitis include increased white vaginal discharge, foamy discharge and fishy odor. This is caused by not paying attention to personal hygiene or unclean sex life, multiple sexual partners, etc. Sometimes it gets better after a period of treatment, but relapses after a period of time. This is mostly due to cross-infection. Generally, the couple (male and female) should be treated together to cure both the symptoms and the root cause.

Symptoms of Trichomonas vaginitis: Purulent leucorrhea is white, liquid, and bloody, which is very obvious before and after menstruation. This treatment should be treated with metronidazole, a drug specifically for treating Trichomonas, which will be more effective.

Symptoms of fungal infection include leucorrhea that is like tofu residue, milk-like discharge, and sometimes yogurt-like discharge. These are fungal infections. Nystatin tablets, suppositories, and drugs containing Nystatin placed in the vagina at night will have a faster effect. Tablets can be placed in the vagina to assist in treatment in addition to oral administration.

1. Keep the vulva clean and dry, do not wash it with hot water or scrub it with soap. Pay attention to menstrual hygiene, change menstrual pads frequently during menstruation, and wash them frequently. See a doctor to check whether there is fungus or trichomonas. If so, seek timely treatment instead of using "anti-itching water" to treat it yourself.

Avoid misusing or abusing drugs, scratching or local friction.

Avoid alcohol, spicy food, seafood, and any medicines that may cause allergies. Do not wear tight crotch pants. Underwear should be loose, breathable, and preferably made of cotton.

You should clean your vagina carefully every day, but don't wash it too often. 1 to 2 times a day is enough. You can wash it with light salt water or boil pepper in water. It has anti-inflammatory and antiviral effects. Change your underwear frequently every day, and it is best to expose your underwear to sunlight. Do not take medication on your own when your vulva is itchy. It will have no effect on the treatment and may cause more serious consequences.
