What is the reason for the itching and white stuff down there?

A woman's vagina needs to be protected at ordinary times and cleaned in time. If you are lazy and do not maintain good personal hygiene in your daily life, you may suffer from gynecological diseases due to vaginal infections, which will have a huge impact on your life and work. There are too many such examples in real life. So the question is, what is the reason for the itching and white stuff down there?

Local causes

(I) Special infections

Vaginal candidiasis and Trichomonas vaginitis are the most common causes of vulvar itching. Lice and scabies can also cause itching. The itching around the anus and vulva of young girls caused by enterobiasis usually only occurs at night.

(ii) Chronic vulvar dystrophy is characterized by severe itching, accompanied by whitening of the vulvar skin.

(III) Drug allergy or chemical irritation: Soap, condoms, Sanisol, mercurochrome, etc. may cause contact dermatitis due to direct irritation or allergy, resulting in itching symptoms.

4. Bad hygiene habits

If you do not pay attention to the local cleaning of the vulva, sebum, sweat, menstruation, vaginal secretions, and even urine and feces will cause long-term stimulation to the vulva and cause itching: using rubber or plastic menstrual belts during menstruation, and wearing non-breathable chemical fiber underwear at other times can induce itching due to the accumulation of damp heat. It should be noted that when cleaning the vulva every day, it is more appropriate to use a female care solution with a weak acid formula of Ph4.

(V) Other skin lesions, abrasions, common warts, herpes, eczema, and tumors can all cause vulvar itching.

(6) Sexual allergy: This is an allergic reaction that occurs during sexual intercourse. They are allergy to semen, condom allergy, and friction allergy.

Systemic causes

1. Diabetes

Due to the irritation of diabetes to the vulvar skin, especially when accompanied by fungal vulvitis, vulvar itching is particularly severe. Many patients first seek medical attention due to itching and redness of the vulva, and are diagnosed with diabetes only after further examination.

(ii) When patients with jaundice, vitamin A and B deficiency, anemia, leukemia and other chronic diseases experience vulvar itching, it is often part of general itching.

(3) Vulvar congestion during pregnancy and premenstrual period may occasionally cause vulvar itching and discomfort.

(IV) Unexplained vulvar pruritus Some patients have very severe vulvar pruritus, but no obvious systemic or local cause can be found. Some people believe that it may be related to mental or psychological factors.
