Why is there itching on both sides of the genitals?

Many women are asking us about vulvar itching. Let us now answer that there are many causes of vulvar itching, mainly due to some gynecological inflammations. The main manifestation is varying degrees of skin itching on the labia majora, clitoris and perineum of women. After using some irritating foods, the condition will become more serious.

The causes of female genital itching include:

1. Local skin uncleanness: Some women use toilet paper improperly, and the skin of the vulva is soaked by menstrual blood, vaginal secretions, and even urine, feces and sweat, which causes chronic inflammation of the local skin and causes vulva itching.

2. Trichomonas vaginalis infection: When the acidity of the female vaginal mucosa decreases, the production of lactic acid decreases, making vaginal Trichomonas infection more likely to occur, which manifests as foamy leucorrhea and itching of the vulva.

3. Fungal infection: For women with diabetes or long-term use of antibiotics that cause imbalance of normal flora, Candida albicans in the fungus can easily invade the vulva and vagina, causing fungal vulvar and vaginitis, often with bean curd-like leucorrhea and vulvar itching.

4. Drug rash: "Fixed drug rash" caused by women with allergic constitution taking sulfonamides or other drugs often occurs at the junction of the skin and mucous membrane of the vulva. In addition to local itching, it may be complicated by erosion and exudation.

5. Viral infection: Genital warts mostly occur in the female vaginal wall, cervical opening and vulva, and also cause foul-smelling leucorrhea.

6. Skin diseases of the vulva: The skin lesions of tinea cruris often extend to the vulva, causing severe local itching.

There is a high possibility of vulvar skin diseases, vulvar leukoplakia, and psychogenic itching. Care should be taken to keep the vulvar skin clean and dry, and the underwear should be loose and breathable.

Vulvar itching must be treated in time. In normal life, we must establish a correct concept. We must pay attention to our personal hygiene and the hygiene of public facilities. Try not to go to some unhygienic places for activities. We must learn to regulate our bodies correctly and reduce our stress.
