What to do if the vagina is itchy, swollen and painful?

Vulvar itching is a very common disease among women. Its main manifestation is annoying itching on the skin of the labia majora, perineum and around the anus, especially at night or during menstruation. Some women even experience more and more severe pain or itching after eating some irritating foods. So what should you do if you have vulvar itching?

The main causes are: Trichomonas, fungal infection, wearing underwear made of chemical fiber fabrics, using rubber or plastic menstrual belts, obesity, tight underwear, frequent use of alkaline soaps or neglect of vulva hygiene. Vulvar leukoplakia, eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, burns, diabetes, anemia, etc. can also cause it.

(1) For vulvar pain and itching caused by Trichomonas, take metronidazole orally under the guidance of a physician, 0.2 g each time, 3 times a day, 7 times as a course of treatment, and at the same time insert Diweijing tablets or metronidazole tablets into the vagina, 1 tablet every night, 10 days as a course of treatment. The effect will be better if combined with vaginal douching. Married persons must examine their male spouse and receive treatment at the same time.

(2) For vulvar pain and itching caused by fungi, flush the vagina with 2% to 4% soda water under the guidance of a doctor once a night, and insert a tablet of Kemeinuan into the vagina at the same time. Ten times is a course of treatment. You can also apply gentian violet or ice boron paste intravaginally.

(3) Eliminate human causes, pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva, wear cotton underwear that is not too tight, avoid using alkaline soaps, and minimize mechanical stimulation to the vulva.

(4) For vulvar pain and itching that cannot be diagnosed at the moment, 3% boric acid or 1% to 2% chlorhexidine solution can be used for wet compresses, 40% zinc oxide oil, calamine lotion and 2% diphenhydramine ointment can be used locally. If necessary, chlorpheniramine can be taken orally, but hormones, iodine, alcohol and the like should not be used.

The above four reasons are what we call the main reasons for vulvar itching. In addition to this, there are other factors. The most important thing is that we must pay attention to our personal physiological hygiene in normal times and keep washing and changing frequently.
