What are the causes of itching in women's private parts?

In modern life, many people do not pay attention to their living habits, which leads to many diseases affecting women's health and brings a lot of inconvenience to life and work. Especially for women with vaginal itching, you must not scratch it. So, what are the reasons for vaginal itching in women? The following editor will tell you some reasons for vaginal itching.

1. Fungal infection:

For women with diabetes or long-term use of antibiotics that cause imbalance of normal flora, Candida albicans among fungi can easily invade the vulva and vagina, causing fungal vulvar and vaginitis, often with bean curd-like leucorrhea and vulvar itching.

2. Chronic local irritation:

The most common cause is excessive discharge from the vagina. The acidity of secretions decreases, which causes changes in the bacterial flora in the vagina and makes local inflammation more likely to occur. Many people also experience thinning of the vulva skin, disappearance of subcutaneous fat, and atrophic changes that can extend to the entire vulva and anus, manifesting as wrinkled, hardened, and whitening skin, and on this basis, vulvar skin diseases may occur.

These changes constantly stimulate the nerve endings in the area, causing unbearable and stubborn vulvar itching, which is difficult to distinguish from skin diseases such as lichen sclerosus and vulvar leukoplakia.

3. Allergic reaction:

Such as drug rash, urticaria, especially when the vulva is in direct contact with some irritating soaps, vulvar medications, the use of contraceptive devices or jelly, can also cause severe vulvar itching and even dermatitis. Therefore, when you have vulvar itching, you must not take medicine at will. It is best to let the doctor find out the cause and then treat it according to the doctor's advice.

4. Diabetes:

Due to the irritation of diabetes to the vulvar skin, especially when accompanied by fungal vulvitis, the vulvar itching is particularly severe. Many patients first seek medical treatment due to itching and redness of the vulva, and are only diagnosed with diabetes after further examination.

5. Chronic vulvar dystrophy:

The main symptom is extreme itching, accompanied by whitening of the vulva skin. Vaginal Trichomonas infection: When the acidity of a woman's vaginal mucosa decreases, the production of lactic acid decreases, making vaginal Trichomonas infection more likely to occur, which manifests as foamy leucorrhea and vulvar itching.

6. Not paying attention to hygiene:

It is caused by long-term stimulation from sebum, sweat, menstruation, vaginal secretions, and even urine and feces.

7. Allergy caused:

If the vulva and vagina are flushed with disinfectant, or certain drugs are placed in the vagina (such as sulfonamides, furacillin, strong alkaline soaps, potassium permanganate solution, etc.), it may cause vulvar skin allergies or dermatitis, leading to itching at the vaginal opening.
