What is the disease that causes itchy skin on the base of a woman's thighs?

It must be very embarrassing to feel itchy skin at the base of your thighs, especially in some special and important occasions, when you can't tell anyone about this phenomenon. Many women have traditional and conservative ideas. I don't dare to see a doctor for such a problem. The root of the thigh is closer to the vulva, so it may cause harm to the reproductive tract, and some of the harm may be caused by vulva infection. Let’s take a look at the reasons.

1. Skin lesions, abrasions, common warts, herpes, eczema, and tumors can all cause vulvar itching: vulvar eczema, vulvar psoriasis, interstitial cystitis, localized vulvitis, and desquamative vaginitis syndrome.

2. Vulvar tumors: vulvar Kaposi's sarcoma, vulvar sweat gland adenocarcinoma, vulvar adenosquamous carcinoma, vulvar Paget's disease, vulvar basal cell carcinoma, vulvar invasive squamous cell carcinoma, vulvar melanoma, etc.

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

4. Irritation caused by feces and urine

A very small number of patients may experience itching due to urethrovaginal fistula, urinary incontinence, or anal fistula, which causes long-term irritation of the vulva by feces and urine.

5. It’s a mental factor

Some patients are unable to find out the cause of vulvar itching, which may be due to excessive mental stress. If you are depressed, nervous, or anxious, you are more likely to develop vulvar itching.

Precautions

1. Pay attention to menstrual hygiene, change menstrual pads frequently and wash them frequently during menstruation.

2. Keep the vulva clean and dry, do not wash it with hot water or scrub it with soap.

3. Avoid misusing or abusing drugs, scratching or local friction.

4. Avoid alcohol, spicy food, seafood, and medicines that may cause allergies.

5. Do not wear tight crotch pants. Underwear should be loose, breathable, and preferably made of cotton.

It is recommended that people who experience frequent itching in the groin should first conduct a self-examination and then see a doctor. It is possible that this is a sign of some disease. You need to see a doctor and get treatment in time, otherwise the disease will easily spread and become difficult to control. Especially some infectious diseases, not only will it endanger your health, but also will bring adverse effects to your partner.
