What to do if you have itching below during the seventh month of pregnancy

If you find vaginal itching when you are seven months pregnant, you need to do a detailed pregnancy check-up to determine the real cause of this situation. However, pregnant women will experience symptoms of dry and itchy skin during pregnancy. At this time, you should add more moisture to your skin. Don't wear too tight underwear at ordinary times, as itching will occur during friction.

1. Eat more coarse grains, such as oats, brown rice, corn, pumpkin, whole wheat bread, etc., which can supplement B vitamins and strengthen the skin. Red dates, wolfberries, and various nuts have the effect of nourishing blood, nourishing yin, and nourishing the skin, so you can eat more of them appropriately. Spicy food will damage yin fluid and aggravate dry skin; fishy and wind-inducing foods such as lamb and seafood will increase skin itching, so it is recommended to eat less or not eat them.

2. Wear loose cotton or silk clothes to avoid friction between chemical fiber clothing and skin, and avoid irritation to the skin caused by static electricity from clothes. It is recommended to wash newly bought underwear before wearing to prevent skin allergies caused by chemical residues in the clothing manufacturing process.

3. Ensure sleep, relax and exercise moderately.

4. Strengthen skin touch. Touching a baby can help the baby stabilize his emotions and develop healthily. The same goes for the skin, which needs our care to be healthy. Dryness, itching, stinging and other phenomena are all the skin's protest to us. Although scratching with sharp nails can temporarily relieve the problem, it will cause greater damage to the skin, thus creating a vicious cycle and causing the itching to become more and more severe. The method of touch is: apply moisturizing lotion or essential oil all over your body before going to bed every night, and gently massage the skin all over your body with warm palms and fingertips. For areas with severe itching, increase the strength appropriately.

5. Actively treat medical diseases such as diabetes, kidney disease, liver disease, etc. that can cause or aggravate skin itching.

As women age, they are more likely to suffer from gynecological diseases, such as dysmenorrhea, abnormal leucorrhea, vaginitis, vaginal itching, etc. Chinese medicine experts pointed out that vaginal itching is not necessarily a gynecological disease. Some vaginal itching is caused by vaginal dryness. Some people also experience worsening vaginal itching symptoms after sexual intercourse, and they believe that it is caused by fungi, which causes great psychological pressure.

It is summer, the weather is hot and humid, and it is the active period of candidal vaginitis. Therefore, female friends should pay special attention to personal hygiene and genital hygiene. However, some people still experience vaginal itching, which worsens after sexual intercourse, and they worry that they have a gynecological disease called candidal vaginitis. In fact, experts point out that when vaginal itching occurs, do not blindly judge it as a gynecological disease, so as to avoid blindly taking medication, delaying treatment, and worsening the condition.

Vaginal itching in young women is rarely caused by vaginal dryness. This problem may occur in women during or after menopause, especially when symptoms worsen after sexual intercourse. Such women are advised to use lubricants during sex.

Traditional Chinese medicine reminds: If a woman has symptoms of vaginal itching and the symptoms do not disappear after using a course of medicine or lubricants, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a detailed examination to find out the cause.
