What to do if your vulva is itchy during ovulation

In a month, a woman's body is in different periods at different times, mainly divided into ovulation period, luteal phase, menstrual period and follicular phase. These periods are different because each person's ovulation period is different. Even women with the same ovulation period will be different due to differences in physical fitness and living habits. During the ovulation period, the ovaries will ovulate outward, and this period is the easiest to conceive. So what should I do if the vulva itches during the ovulation period?

Special infections Fungal vaginitis and Trichomonas vaginitis are the most common causes of vulvar itching. Pubic lice, scabies, and pinworms can also cause itching.

Drug allergy or chemical irritation Soap, condoms, benzalkonium bromide, etc. can cause contact or allergic dermatitis due to direct irritation or allergy, with symptoms such as vulvar itching.

Bad hygiene habits, not paying attention to the local cleanliness of the vulva, long-term stimulation by sebum, sweat, menstrual blood, vaginal secretions, or immersion in urine and feces can cause vulvar itching; sanitary napkins during menstruation and wearing non-breathable synthetic underwear can induce itching due to long-term accumulation of moisture and heat in the local area.

Symptoms of vulvar itching during ovulation

The itching is mostly located in the clitoris and labia minora. It may also affect the labia majora, perineum and even perianal areas. It is often a paroxysmal attack and may also affect the labia majora, perineum and even perianal skin lesions. It is often paroxysmal or continuous, usually aggravated at night. Unexplained vulvar itching usually only occurs in women of childbearing age or postmenopausal women, often affecting the entire vulva, but may also be limited to a certain part or one side of the vulva. Although the itching is very severe and even unbearable, the local skin and mucous membranes appear normal, or there are only scratches due to excessive scratching.

What are the dangers of vulvar itching during ovulation?

It can cause other inflammations: If you do not actively seek treatment when you find symptoms of vulvitis, it can also be secondary to other local or systemic diseases, such as cervicitis, vaginitis, cervical cancer, etc. The stimulation of increased secretions, or excessive and prolonged menstrual blood and lochia can cause varying degrees of inflammation.

Impact on pregnancy: In patients with severe vulvitis, a large number of white blood cells in the sexual secretions can phagocytize sperm, consume energy substances stored in semen, reduce sperm motility, shorten sperm survival time, and lead to a lower pregnancy rate. You should wait until the inflammation is cured before becoming pregnant.
