Causes and treatments of vulvar itching in women

I believe that some women in life may have such experience, and some women may have such trouble, that is, genital itching. Vulvar itching is particularly severe and even unbearable. It is generally more common in middle-aged women. When the itching worsens, patients are often restless, which affects their life and work. Below I will give you a detailed introduction to the causes and treatments of vulvar itching in women.

reason:

(A) Special infections: Candidal vaginitis and Trichomonas vaginitis are the most common causes of vulvar itching. Lice and scabies can also cause itching. The itching around the anus and vulva of young girls caused by enterobiasis usually only occurs at night.

(ii) Chronic vulvar dystrophy is characterized by severe itching, accompanied by whitening of the vulvar skin.

(III) Drug allergy or chemical irritation: Soap, condoms, Sanisol, mercurochrome, etc. may cause contact dermatitis due to direct irritation or allergy, resulting in itching symptoms. "Fixed drug rash" caused by taking drugs in women with allergic constitution often occurs at the junction of the skin and mucous membrane of the vulva. In addition to local itching, it may be complicated by erosion and exudation. Vulvar itching may also occur if allergic reactions and contact dermatitis occur when using drugs for vaginal washing or vaginal insertion.

Treatment:

1. Eat more coarse grains, such as oats, brown rice, corn, pumpkin, whole wheat bread, etc., which can supplement B vitamins and strengthen the skin. Red dates, wolfberries, and various nuts have the effect of nourishing blood, nourishing yin, and nourishing the skin, so you can eat more of them appropriately. Spicy food will damage yin fluid and aggravate dry skin; fishy and wind-inducing foods such as lamb and seafood will increase skin itching, so it is recommended to eat less or not eat them.

2. Wear loose cotton or silk clothes to avoid friction between chemical fiber clothing and skin, and avoid irritation to the skin caused by static electricity from clothes. It is recommended to wash newly bought underwear before wearing to prevent skin allergies caused by chemical residues in the clothing manufacturing process.

3. Ensure sleep, relax and exercise moderately.

4. Strengthen skin touch. Touching a baby can help the baby stabilize his emotions and develop healthily. The same goes for the skin, which needs our care to be healthy. Dryness, itching, stinging and other phenomena are all the skin's protest to us. Although scratching with sharp nails can temporarily relieve the problem, it will cause greater damage to the skin, thus creating a vicious cycle and causing the itching to become more and more severe. The method of touch is: apply moisturizing lotion or essential oil all over your body before going to bed every night, and gently massage the skin all over your body with warm palms and fingertips. For areas with severe itching, increase the strength appropriately.

5. Actively treat medical diseases such as diabetes, kidney disease, liver disease, etc. that can cause or aggravate skin itching.
