Why is the vulva always itchy?

Vulvar itching is a common disease among many women. For example, diseases such as cervicitis and cervical erosion may cause vulvar itching in women. If it occurs in young women, many people will think it is caused by gynecological diseases, but many elderly people will often have symptoms of vulvar itching when they get older. So what is the reason for vulvar itching in the elderly?

This type of vulvar itching may be a symptom caused by senile vaginitis. Vaginitis may also occur after age, because after aging, women's ovaries will gradually decline, and even cause a decrease in the body's estrogen level. Some patients will also show a manifestation of decreased elasticity of the vaginal mucosa, and some will also lose elasticity. Over time, it will cause the immune system to gradually weaken. However, this period is usually when pathogens are most likely to invade, and many patients will become shrunken as they age, making them more susceptible to irritation and damage.

Many elderly people often suffer from vulvar itching, which may be related to their daily lifestyle. For example, many women do not pay attention to nutrition and diet, and do not pay attention to effective sexual life. It may also be caused by long-term vitamin deficiency. If the body does not absorb vitamin B for a long time, it is easy to cause a decrease in immunity, which will also affect the skin and even cause dry skin and aggravate itching.

If the itching continues, you should go to the hospital for a physical examination to see if it is caused by candidal infection, because candidal infection is very easy to recur and even cannot be eradicated. You can do a leucorrhea test during the examination.

In fact, the cause of vulvar itching in the elderly is related to many factors. In addition to these factors, it may also be related to local damp factors. Although you are old, but you do not pay attention to hygiene and do not ensure the comfort of your body, it will also cause vulvar itching. There are also many elderly people who have sex and do not pay attention to each other's hygiene, which can also cause itching. Therefore, this factor cannot be ignored even when you are older.
