What is the disease that causes vaginal itching at night?

When sleeping at night, you feel that your lower body is very itchy and unbearable. Many people can't help scratching with their hands, but they don't know that this will aggravate the infection. Women's congenital physiological structure determines that women are more susceptible to infection by pathogenic bacteria than men, but this is difficult to avoid. What we can do is to correctly understand the disease. What are the main causes of genital itching?

Reason 1: Nonspecific vaginitis.

There is a feeling of heaviness and burning in the vulva and vagina, a large amount of vaginal epithelium falls off, the vaginal mucosa is congested, and there is obvious tenderness. In severe cases, general fatigue and lower abdominal discomfort may occur, and the amount of leucorrhea may be large and purulent or serous. The outflow of leucorrhea may irritate the urethra, causing frequent urination and painful urination.

Reason 2: Fungal vaginitis.

The prominent symptoms of this disease are increased leucorrhea and severe itching of the vulva and vagina. When the symptoms are severe, the patient may be restless and in extreme pain, and may also experience frequent urination, painful urination, and pain during intercourse.

The leucorrhea is white and thick, resembling dregs of soybean dregs, the vaginal mucosa is highly edematous, the vulva is burning, and there is white flaky film adhering to it, which is easy to peel off. Underneath is an eroded base of the damaged mucosa or a shallow ulcer. In severe cases, ecchymosis may remain, which is a typical symptom of this disease.

Another type of patient has a large amount of watery or purulent leucorrhea without white flakes, moderate redness and edema of the vaginal mucosa, no severe itching or burning sensation, only a feeling of moisture in the vulva.

Reason three: Trichomonas vaginitis.

The vaginal discharge increases and is yellow-white, occasionally with yellow-green pus, often foamy and fishy, ​​and may be mixed with blood when the disease is severe; followed by low back pain, frequent urination, painful urination, vulvar itching, and dull pain in the lower abdomen. The vaginal mucosa is red and swollen, with scattered bleeding spots or strawberry-shaped protrusions, which occasionally cause pain during intercourse.

It can be seen that many factors can cause the human genitals to be infected. Not only infections of the vulva, but also infections of the blood system and urinary system may cause infections of the vulva and lead to diseases such as vaginitis. There are also other gynecological diseases, such as vulvar leukoplakia, condyloma acuminatum, eczema, etc. which are difficult to treat and require attention to local hygiene.
