What should I do if pregnant women have itching down there?

It is a common phenomenon for pregnant women to experience private part itching. There are many reasons for this situation. Generally, it is due to bacterial infection caused by the low resistance of the pregnant woman's body, which leads to vaginitis. Pregnant women with vaginitis should not use medication indiscriminately. They need timely care and anti-inflammatory treatment, and pay more attention to the hygiene of their private parts.

What should pregnant women do if they have itching down there?

Most women have low resistance and immunity during pregnancy. If you experience some itching down there during pregnancy, it may be due to secondary bacterial infection, vaginitis, vulvitis, or previous inflammation, which is a recurrence of low resistance. However, it cannot be ruled out that it is caused by allergies, and it is related to the increased stimulation of vaginal secretions after pregnancy. Pregnant women should not use medications indiscriminately. It is recommended to go to the hospital for further examination in time to find out the cause, and use topical medications under the guidance of a doctor.

Suggested actions

You should also pay attention to cleaning the vulva and wash it every day. You should wear loose cotton underwear and expose the underwear to the sun or wash it at high temperature.

Precautions

Pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene.

When women experience vulvar and vaginal itching after pregnancy, there are three main reasons to consider and treatment should be provided based on the specific causes. First, the patient's physiological leucorrhea increases, and excessive leucorrhea irritates the vulva and causes mild itching. In this case, the patient only needs to change underwear frequently and clean the vulva frequently, and no special treatment is needed. Second, the patient may have vaginal inflammation, causing itching. Patients need to undergo gynecological examination and leucorrhea testing to determine the type of inflammation and then choose appropriate antibiotics, local vaginal suppositories or external applications to relieve itching. Third, the patient may be allergic to the underwear, toilet paper, etc. used, causing itching. You need to find the allergen, remove it, and then use dexamethasone ointment to fight allergies and treat itching.
