What causes vulvar itching and lumps?

Because of the special environment of female friends' private parts, they often have abnormal symptoms such as itching, congestion, and lumps. Because it is a private part, many female friends rarely seek medical treatment unless they feel particularly uncomfortable. The result is that the disease becomes more serious and more difficult to treat. So, what causes vulvar itching and swelling? How to prevent it?

Generally, there are many possible causes of vulvar itching and lumps: folliculitis, cysts, vulvitis, etc. The symptoms of vulvitis are: the patient first feels discomfort in the vulva, followed by itching and pain, or a burning sensation. At the same time, the skin and mucous membranes of the vulva may have varying degrees of swelling and congestion. In severe cases, erosions, ulcers, or large areas of eczema may form, accompanied by painful urination and painful sexual intercourse.

When folliculitis occurs in the vulva, the vulva may become severely swollen and painful due to the occurrence of abscesses, and then a furuncle may form. The diagnosis of nonspecific vulvitis is generally not difficult, but it is also important to distinguish it from other lesions of the vulva, such as Behcet's syndrome and white lesions of the vulva. Inflammation of the vulva and vagina must be treated promptly to eliminate external factors that cause lesions and prevent the disease from developing to a serious degree, turning into cancer and endangering life.

In addition, due to the stimulation of physical and chemical factors in life, lack of attention to hygiene, and physical weakness, women's vulva can be invaded by bacteria and cause vulvitis, such as cervical and vaginal inflammation; or wearing non-breathable nylon underwear causes excessive vaginal secretions and irritation of the vulva; urine soaking the vulva; using unclean sanitary napkins and toilet paper causing vulvar infection, etc. These factors will create conditions for the growth and reproduction of bacteria in the vulva.

Even if it is a private part, you should go to a regular hospital for treatment in time if you get sick to avoid making the condition worse. In normal times, you should pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva, pay attention to the cleanliness of the menstrual period, wash it more often with warm water, do not use too cold or too hot water, change and wash underwear frequently, etc., which can effectively avoid the occurrence of this disease.
