If you do not pay more attention to it, it will affect your normal life in the later stage. It is a relatively troublesome problem for women, affecting the life and work of female friends. So what should you pay attention to in your daily life? The editor has collected several reasons, which need to be taken into account.

1. Trichomonas vaginitis: Itching of the vulva and vagina, foamy leucorrhea, often accompanied by a special odor, and scratching can also cause eczematous changes in the vulva dermatitis. This condition can be distinguished from the bacterial vaginitis mentioned above by going to the hospital for a vaginal secretion smear test.

2. Bacterial vaginitis: vulvar or vaginal itching, vulvar flushing, leucorrhea that is like bean curd residue and has an odor. Scratching can cause eczematous changes of vulvar dermatitis.

3. Pinworm infection: Pinworms mainly attack young girls. Of course, adult women are also at risk of infection. When the anus relaxes at night, pinworms crawl out of the rectum and swim to the vulva to mate and lay eggs, irritating the skin and mucous membranes of the vulva, causing local itching.

4. Pubic lice: Pubic lice often stick to the skin surface or attach to the roots of pubic hair. Pubic lice eggs are grayish white and the size of a needle. The bites of pubic lice and their venom and excrement can cause itching and even desquamation of the pubic skin, which can lead to eczema-like changes and folliculitis.

5. Local skin uncleanness: Some women do not maintain reasonable hygiene habits. For example, improper use of toilet paper will cause increased menstrual blood and vaginal secretions in the vulva skin, leading to vaginal itching. At the same time, if women do not wipe clean after using the toilet, the immersion of urine, feces and even sweat can cause chronic inflammation of the local skin of the vagina, thereby causing itching of the vulva. Therefore, maintaining good hygiene habits is very important for vaginal cleanliness.

Itching at the vaginal opening is a rather unbearable problem, especially in public places. It will make the whole person feel embarrassed. If you scratch it directly with your hands, it will easily cause bacterial infection. You should pay attention to the hygiene of your private parts. Because this disease is more recurrent and may cause other problems, the main treatment method is to kill bacteria and reduce inflammation, and clean the lower body in time.
