During pregnancy, women need to pay attention to many issues. If they are not careful, they may get some diseases. If the private parts are not cleaned properly, some diseases may occur. So, what is the reason for pustules on the vulva during pregnancy?

First of all, there are many reasons for pustules on the vulva, the most common of which is folliculitis. Folliculitis patients cannot excrete toxins, so pustules appear in the private parts. Candidal vaginitis is a common vaginitis. Patients often scratch it, which can easily cause pustules and viral infections. Women infected with genital warts are prone to pustules around their eyes, and some even have a foul-smelling discharge. This moment should be taken seriously. Go to the hospital for medical treatment as soon as possible to prevent the condition from getting worse and to avoid bad situations.

Secondly, if you have purulent inflammation of the private parts, you will usually experience pain caused by pre-soaking of urine when urinating. You can use some external medicine. It is best to clean it with warm water first and then apply the plaster to the private parts. Do not squeeze it. This can reduce the invasion of bacteria and reduce pain.

Also, if pustules appear in the private parts during pregnancy, it may also be a symptom of Bartholin gland cyst. You should go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible and start medication after diagnosis. It is recommended to go to the hospital's gynecology department for incision and drainage, and regular dressing changes and oral anti-inflammatory medication are required.

Causes of vulvar itching during pregnancy

After pregnancy, the level of estrogen increases, causing endocrine changes in the body. Therefore, at this stage, the secretions in the lower body will become more and more. If you do not pay attention to hygiene at this time, it is easy to be infected with various gynecological diseases, which will cause vulvar itching. Pay attention to a light taste in your diet, and avoid spicy and hot foods. Since you are pregnant, it is best not to take medication. You must pay attention to your daily medical care. You can do more outdoor exercise to enhance your body's immunity, and you can also get more sun exposure.

Can I use salt water to wash my vulva for itching during pregnancy?

Vulvar itching during pregnancy can be cleaned with saline solution, but pregnant mothers are advised to boil the water first, then let it cool, and use the top layer of boiling water after the boiling water cools down. Since there is generally edible alkali in the water nowadays, the edible alkali can be filtered out after boiling. It is best to add salt to the water without edible alkali to make brine. In addition, after cleaning, you should also use cotton balls to dry the water in the private parts. In this way, the private parts can be prevented from growing bacteria again.

Using salt and cold water to clean the private parts has a certain anti-inflammatory effect, but the effect is not very obvious. If the pregnant mother's vulvar itching is severe, it is recommended to go to the hospital for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
