Why does my vulva itch during menstruation?

Many women's gynecological diseases are caused by menstrual problems. Therefore, if menstrual problems occur, patients should receive timely treatment to avoid worsening of the condition due to menstrual problems and causing other gynecological diseases. So why is the vulva itchy during menstruation? Let's ask an expert to introduce this issue.

Vulvar itching is mostly caused by the large amount of abnormal leucorrhea discharged from the vulva due to vaginitis caused by trichomonas or fungal infection, which irritates the vulva and causes itching; if there is disinfectant solution to rinse the vulva and vagina, or certain drugs are placed in the vagina (such as sulfonamides, furacillin, strong alkaline soaps, 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 hospital gynecology department for a pathogenic examination of vaginal or cervical secretions, and symptomatic treatment after a clear diagnosis.

Your condition may be a symptom of vulvar infection. It is recommended that you seek medical attention in time and use medication under the guidance of a doctor. Generally, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory treatments are the main treatments. You should pay attention to maintaining good hygiene habits, maintain an acidic environment in the vagina, change underwear frequently, keep the vulva clean and dry, avoid alcohol and spicy food, do not wear tight pants, and use loose and breathable underwear.

The above is the expert's opinion on this issue. Only by following the methods introduced by the experts can we ensure the safety of female patients. Especially for menstrual problems, women cannot ignore this issue and should consult experts in time for treatment. Finally, I wish the patients a speedy recovery.
