The genitals are a little red and itchy, what should I do?

The symptom of the genitals being a little red and itchy is actually a very common symptom, and some women even experience it repeatedly. Because the vulva is a little red and itchy, and there are even symptoms of vaginal inflammation, an unpleasant smell will actually spread further. This is when aggressive treatment is needed. What should I do if my genitals are a little red and itchy?

Vulvar itching is a symptom caused by various vulvar diseases, but it can also occur in people with completely normal vulva. It is generally more common in middle-aged women. When the itching worsens, the patient is often restless, which affects his life and work.

It may be a symptom caused by irritation from vaginal secretions. It is recommended that you have a gynecological examination to check your vaginal discharge. After the cause is determined, you can take local medication combined with oral medication under the guidance of a doctor.

Vulvar itching is mostly caused by vaginitis caused by trichomonas or fungal infection, which causes a large amount of abnormal leucorrhea to irritate the vulva and cause itching; if disinfectant solution is used to wash the vulva and vagina, or certain drugs are placed in the vagina (such as sulfonamides, furacillin, strong alkaline soap, potassium permanganate solution, etc.), causing vulvar skin allergies or dermatitis, it can also cause vulvar itching; not paying attention to hygiene during menstruation, or using rubber or plastic menstrual belts, and failing to clean the vulva frequently, causing menstrual blood or vaginal secretions to accumulate in the vulva for a long time; or wearing synthetic fiber underwear at ordinary times, so that the vulva is often in a humid and hot environment, which often causes vulvar itching. It is recommended to go to a regular gynecology department for a pathogenic examination of vaginal or cervical secretions, and symptomatic treatment after a clear diagnosis

There is a high possibility of gynecological inflammation. It is better to treat the symptoms after a clear diagnosis. Do not take medicine blindly to avoid delaying the disease and achieving the opposite effect. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva at ordinary times. Gynecological examination, including abdominal ultrasound examination, is recommended

To sum up, if there is someone at home whose genitals are a little red and itchy, in order to prevent the infection from spreading to other people, it is best for this person to put his or her underwear in a separate washing basin, and the patient's underwear and panties must be washed carefully and then exposed to the sun.
