What to do if the vulva is cracked

Some women will find that their vulva is cracked when washing their bodies. Women are particularly worried about this situation because it has a great impact on the female body and will also affect fertility. When faced with the situation of vulvar fissures, people need to pay special attention and take effective measures to deal with it. The following is a detailed introduction on what to do if vulvar fissures occur.

Vulvar fissures and itching are usually caused by vulvar malnutrition. This situation is often accompanied by a lighter color of the vulvar skin and small cracks in the posterior vaginal union. It is recommended to apply dermatitis cream and progesterone ointment alternately to the vaginal opening to relieve clinical symptoms. If drug treatment is ineffective, surgical treatment may be necessary. In this case, you must be careful not to use shower gel to clean the vulva when taking a bath. Make sure you get enough sleep and avoid eating spicy or irritating foods. If vulvar fissures are accompanied by itching, it is recommended to rule out the possibility of bacterial vaginosis.

Vulva care:

1. Wash the vulva with cool or warm boiled water once every 2 to 3 days. Do not douche your vagina every day. It is best to use running water every time you clean. The water used for washing cannot be reused. You can buy a vaginal douche to spray water on the vagina. The cleaning order is from front to back, that is, first the labia majora and minora, then the vaginal opening, and then the anus. If you have the conditions to take a bath once a day, you can just clean the vulva when you take a bath, and there is no need to wash it separately.

2. Change sanitary napkins frequently during menstruation. Choose a sanitary napkin with good breathability. It is best not to use sanitary pads at ordinary times, just change your underwear frequently.

3. Choose cotton underwear, wash it separately and dry it in the sun. Patients with athlete's foot should fix the order of bedding when sleeping and not place underwear at the feet.

4. In daily life, bedding should be dried frequently and the room should be ventilated.

5. Strengthen physical exercise and improve physical fitness.
