Vulvar itching is a manifestation of vulvitis and a common symptom that women encounter in daily life.

So what are the medicines for vulvar itching and how should we choose them?

The medication for vulvar itching is mainly aimed at the infectious bacteria. The main symptom of vaginitis caused by Candida infection is extreme itching. Frequent scratching causes local skin ulcers. If accompanied by bacterial infection, there will be an odor. It not only affects life and work, but may also cause infection of adjacent tissues and even cause miscarriage.

Therefore, it is necessary to use medication for vulvar itching.

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 a disinfectant solution to rinse the vulva and vagina, or if 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.

In addition to medication for vulvar itching, you should also pay attention to menstrual hygiene and keep the vulva clean and dry. Avoid scratching, do not wash with hot water, and avoid using soap. When there is an infection, potassium permanganate solution can be used for a sitz bath, but local scrubbing is strictly prohibited. Clothes, especially underwear, should be loose and breathable. Avoid alcohol and spicy or allergic foods. Do not wear tight crotch pants. Underwear should be loose, breathable, and preferably made of cotton.

Vulvar itching is unbearable for anyone and causes great distress to women. It is necessary to use medication to relieve the itching. When using medication for vulvar itching, we still have to do it under the guidance of a professional gynecologist. All medications have side effects. We must clearly understand the correct usage of both topical and oral medications and cooperate with the doctor to cure vulvar infection.
