What is the cause of itching and stinging below?

Vulvar itching and pain are mostly located in the clitoris and labia minora. It can also spread to the labia majora, perineum and even around the anus. It is often paroxysmal, but can also be continuous, usually worse at night. Unexplained vulvar itching usually only occurs in women of childbearing age or postmenopausal women, and often spreads to the entire vulva, but may also be limited to one or one side of the private parts. Although the itching and pain are very severe, even unbearable, the appearance of some skin and mucous membranes is normal, or there are only scars due to excessive scratching. So what exactly is the cause of vulvar itching and pain?

Causes of vaginal itching and pain

1. Some reasons

(1) Unique infections: Fungal vaginitis and candidal vaginitis are the most common causes of vulvar itching. Fleas and scabies can also cause itching. The itching of the anus and private parts of women caused by pinworm infection usually only occurs at night.

(2) Chronic private malnutrition is characterized by itching as the clinical symptom, accompanied by whitening of the private skin.

(3) Drug allergies or chemical irritants such as soaps, condoms, chlorpromazine, mercurochrome, etc. can cause contact dermatitis due to immediate irritation or skin allergies, resulting in itchy symptoms. Women with allergic constitutions take drugs that cause "fixed drug eruption", which often occurs at the junction of the vulvar skin and mucosa. In addition to local itching, it may also be complicated by erosion and exudation. The use of therapeutic drugs for vaginal washing or vaginal insertion in women can also cause vulvar itching if allergic symptoms and contact dermatitis occur.

(4) Bad living habits and not paying attention to the cleaning of the private parts, sebaceous glands, sweat, menstruation, vaginal secretions, and even urine and feces, long-term irritation to the private parts can cause itching: using erasers or plastic menstrual belts during menstruation, and wearing synthetic fiber underwear with poor breathability can all cause itching due to the accumulation of cold and dampness. When cleaning the vulva every day, it is more appropriate to use Ph4 Jiaoyan weak acid secret formula female wash.

(5) Other skin lesions, abrasions, common warts, herpes, eczema, and tumors can all cause itching in the private parts.

(6) Sexual skin allergy: It is a skin allergy manifestation that occurs during the sexual life of men and women. Each of them is allergic to semen, condoms, and skin friction.

2. Systemic causes

(1) Diabetes: Because diabetes mellitus irritates the private skin, especially in secondary fungal vulvitis, vulvar itching is very severe. Many patients first sought medical treatment due to itching and redness of the vulva, and were diagnosed with diabetes after further examination.

(2) When patients with special diseases such as jaundice, vitamin D and B deficiency, anemia, sepsis, etc. experience vulvar itching, it is often part of the itching of the whole body.

(3) Vulvar hematoma during pregnancy and early menstruation may occasionally cause vulvar itching and discomfort.

(4) Unclear causes of vulvar itching Some patients have very severe vulvar itching, but no obvious systemic or local causes can be found. At present, many people believe that it may be related to mental or psychological factors.
