Revealing the real culprit of women's private itching

1. The most common local cause is increased leucorrhea

Especially for vaginitis caused by Trichomonas or fungal infection, the large amount of abnormal leucorrhea discharged will irritate the vulva and make it itchy.

2. If you use disinfectant to wash the vulva and vagina

Or placing certain drugs (such as sulfonamides, furacillin, chlorhexidine suppositories, etc.) in the vagina can cause vulvar skin allergies or dermatitis, which can also cause vulvar itching.

3. Not paying attention to hygiene during menstruation

Or using rubber or plastic sanitary belts and failing to clean the vulva regularly can cause menstrual blood or vaginal secretions to accumulate in the vulva for a long time. Or wearing synthetic underwear on a regular basis will often keep the vulva in a wet and hot environment, which can often cause itching of the vulva.

4. Some people often use strong alkaline soap or potassium permanganate solution to clean the vulva

This causes the vulva skin to become dry, itchy due to lack of oil.

5. People with pinworm disease

Pinworms often crawl out of the anus and irritate the area around the anus and the vulva, causing itching, especially at night, and even affecting sleep.

6. If the vulvar itching is not caused by the above reasons

It is very likely that the itching symptoms are caused by a variety of vulvar skin diseases, such as vulvar eczema, neurodermatitis, atrophic lichen sclerosus, vulvar dermatitis, etc. These diseases can not only cause varying degrees of itching, but also the vulvar skin may have varying degrees of whitening, atrophy or thickening changes.

7. Early symptoms of vulvar cancer also include skin itching

Some people develop vulvar cancer after suffering from itching for many years.
