Some female friends may experience genital itching after their menstruation ends. For some people, it happens occasionally, while for others, it happens all the time. Sometimes the itching symptoms disappear after a few days, which bothers them a lot. Some women feel that seeing a gynecologist is a bit of an overreaction, but they feel uncomfortable if they don't. Let’s listen to my explanation below. This happens for the following reasons: 1. Dietary factors: lack of iron, riboflavin, vitamin A, vitamin E, fat, etc. in food can cause dryness, flaking and itching of the vulvar skin. 2. Mental factors. If you are worried, depressed, nervous, or irritable, you will often feel itchy vulva, and the more you scratch, the more itchy it becomes. 3. Local diseases of the vulva. Local diseases of the vulva include gonorrhea, non-gonococcal urethritis, fungal or trichomoniasis vaginitis, scabies, pubic lice, ringworm, atrophic keratotic lichen, mucosal leukoplakia, enterobiasis, contact dermatitis, cervicitis, etc. Anal itching in female children is often caused by pinworms and often worsens at night. In addition, anal itching often spreads to the vulva and causes itching. Apocrine prurigo and sweat gland follicle keratosis can also cause severe vulva itching. 4. Systemic diseases. Systemic diseases mainly include diabetes, anemia, leukemia, polycythemia, skin diseases, hepatobiliary diseases (such as jaundice), kidney diseases, lymphoma, etc. In addition to general itching, vulvar itching is often accompanied. According to statistics, 3.4% of 500 diabetic patients had localized itching, mainly vulvar itching. 5. External stimuli, sometimes birth control pills can also cause itching. Itching can also be caused by tight underwear, friction between underwear, and irritation from menstrual belts. Vulvar itching can be caused by not paying attention to the hygiene of the vulva, irritants from vaginal secretions, vulvar secretions, sweat, moisture, immersion, chemical fiber underwear, unqualified menstrual belts, rough toilet paper, allergies caused by vulvar and vaginal medication, and frequent washing of the vulva with soap. Vulvar itching is often accompanied by anal itching, which is related to irritation from external hemorrhoids, long-term incontinence, anal fistula, anal fissure, anal excrement and fecal residues. From this we understand why women will experience more or less vulvar itching after menstruation. It is worth noting that the treatment plans for vulvar itching caused by different reasons are different. Therefore, when female friends experience vulvar itching, they must not use medications blindly, which may cause the vulvar itching to worsen. They should go to a regular hospital for relevant examinations and treatment in time. |
