Why is my genitals red, swollen and painful?

The female vagina is a relatively private area, but some unusual phenomena often occur in the vagina, such as vaginal itching, vaginal pain, vaginal redness and swelling, vaginal dampness, etc. These are all signs of unhealthy body. So what exactly causes redness, swelling and pain in the vagina? In the following article, we will introduce several specific causes that may cause vaginal discomfort.

Perineal eczema

Perineal eczema is a common and frequently occurring disease in women and can occur at any age. The patient has rice-sized red papules on the vulva with small blisters on them, which are red, swollen, painful and extremely itchy. Scratching can easily lead to ulceration and suppuration, and may even worsen and endanger life. In fact, perineal eczema is not difficult to treat. The key is timely treatment and persistent treatment. Generally speaking, keeping the genitals clean is the key to prevention and treatment. If you find any problems with your vulva, you must seek medical attention immediately and do not delay the treatment. Girls and children can use low-concentration potassium permanganate water to wash their genitals. Clean the vulva frequently, change underwear frequently, and leave the perineum exposed and ventilated at night. In daily life, you should pay attention to avoiding tobacco and alcohol, and avoid fishy foods such as fish, eggs, and irritating foods such as onions, garlic, and peppers.

Bartholin gland obstruction

If you experience pain in the outer third of your vagina during intercourse, especially a burning or stinging sensation, or if your vaginal opening swells after intercourse, you should consider the problem of blockage of the Bartholin's glands (glands that secrete lubricant at the vaginal opening). The Bartholin glands, like the fallopian tubes, can be unblocked through surgery. Once unblocked, the glands will secrete a large amount of love fluid during sexual excitement, lubricating the vagina and vulva and reducing the burning sensation during intercourse. For women with vestibular inflammation and Bartholin gland obstruction, the back position often causes the love juice to be lost too quickly.

After understanding the cause of vaginal discomfort, it is necessary to seek treatment as soon as possible. In addition to these reasons, one's own living habits and eating habits will also have an impact on this. For example, eating spicy food for a long time, wearing clothes that are too tight, staying up late, drinking and smoking, etc. Therefore, correcting and cultivating good habits can effectively prevent diseases.
