What disease may I have if my vulva suddenly becomes itchy?

Vulvar itching is not unfamiliar to married women. The reason why this situation is not common before marriage is that after sexual intercourse, there is a certain inflammation inside the vagina. Of course, vulvar itching may also have other reasons. At this time, women should go for a check-up in time to see where the problem is and then receive symptomatic treatment. So, what disease may cause sudden itching of the vulva?

Common diseases

Bartholinitis

The Bartholin's glands grow at the lower and back sides of the labia majora, opening in the groove between the vaginal opening, labia minora and hymen. Due to the characteristics of the anatomical location, pathogens can easily invade and cause inflammation.

Bartholin's gland cyst

If the opening of the gland duct is blocked due to inflammatory congestion and increased secretions, the exudate accumulates in the gland cavity and forms a tumor that protrudes outward - the Bartholin's gland cyst.

When suffering from Bartholin's glanditis, you should absolutely stay in bed and rest, pay attention to keeping the vulva clean, apply local hot compresses, and use antibiotics and traditional Chinese medicine for clearing heat and detoxification.

Vulvar ulcers

Vulvar ulcers often occur on the inner side of the labia majora and labia minora, and are more common in middle-aged and young people. The main manifestation is varying degrees of epidermal damage in the vulva, which often recurs and is difficult to cure. If vulvar ulcers occur at the same time as eye inflammation and oral ulcers, it is called eye, mouth, and genital syndrome, which may be accompanied by high fever and local severe pain. Repeated attacks are associated with a poor prognosis. It is also clinically known as Behcet's disease.

Genital warts

It is a small growth caused by a viral infection that occurs at the junction of the skin and mucous membrane and sometimes fuses into a cauliflower shape. It is transmitted through contact and recurs repeatedly.
