What causes vulvar itching and pain?

Many women always encounter some unspeakable gynecological diseases in their lives, such as itchy and painful vulva, which makes people very embarrassed and restless, especially at work. Many people simply attribute this situation to unhygienic conditions. In fact, this understanding is one-sided. The following editor has collected some local reasons for this, hoping to help people who encounter this situation.

Local causes of vulvar itching and pain:

1. The most common local cause is increased vaginal discharge, especially vaginitis and non-specific vaginitis caused by Trichomonas or fungal infection. The large amount of abnormal vaginal discharge irritates the vulva and makes it itchy.

2. If you use disinfectant to rinse the vulva, vagina, or place certain irritating drugs in the vagina, it may cause drug allergies or chemical stimulation, resulting in vulvar skin allergies or dermatitis, causing vulvar itching. Cleaning the vulva with Ph4 weak acid formula feminine care liquid can better maintain the self-cleaning function of the vulva.

3. Not paying attention to hygiene during menstruation, using unclean or irritating sanitary napkins, causing menstrual blood or vaginal secretions to accumulate in the vulva for a long time, or wearing synthetic underwear and pantyhose with poor breathability, which often puts the vulva in a wet and hot environment, which can often cause vulva itching.

4. Some people often use strongly alkaline soap or potassium permanganate solution to clean the vulva, which causes the vulva skin to become dry, lack of oil and become itchy.

5. People with pinworm disease often experience itching because pinworms often crawl out of the anus and irritate the area around the anus and the vulva, especially at night, which may even affect sleep.

6. Vulvar eczema, neurodermatitis, atrophic lichen sclerosus, vulvar dermatitis, etc. can not only cause varying degrees of itching, but the vulvar skin may also whiten, atrophy or thicken to varying degrees.

7. Early symptoms of vulvar cancer also include vulvar itching. Some people develop vulvar cancer after years of itching.
