Premenstrual vulvar itching

Some women will experience many abnormal conditions in the period before menstruation. Symptoms such as abdominal pain and physical weakness are relatively normal because these are precursors to menstruation. However, some women will experience symptoms of vulvar itching before menstruation. If this symptom persists for a long time, it may mean that there may be a problem in the vaginal area. So what is itching before period?

Common causes of vulvar itching

1. Chronic local irritation, irritation from abnormal secretions of vulva, vagina and cervix inflammation;

2. Unclean vulva and tight synthetic underwear, sanitary napkins, etc. lead to poor permeability;

3. Vulvar parasitic diseases, such as pubic lice, pinworms, scabies, etc.;

4. Various vulvar skin diseases and vulvar tumors, etc.;

5. Local vulvar symptoms of systemic diseases, such as diabetes, uremia, vitamin deficiency, etc.

In fact, vulvar itching during menstruation is mostly related to the environment in which it is located. Just as a warm and humid environment makes it easy for mushrooms to grow, the damp and stuffy environment in the genitals can also make bacteria multiply rapidly. During menstruation, the private parts secrete a lot and are mostly in a moist state. If the sanitary napkin you choose is thick and is not changed often, the airtight environment, coupled with the relatively low resistance during menstruation, allows bacteria to multiply rapidly and cause local inflammation or vulvar itching.

If at this time, women can't help scratching, washing with soap, and scalding with hot water will not only fail to eliminate the root cause of the disease, but will also worsen the symptoms and make the itching more severe.

Do not scratch it during menstruation

The way to deal with vulvar itching during menstruation is not to scratch or scald, but to keep the body clean and dry, such as using soft, breathable sanitary napkins, and washing the area with warm water to avoid the growth of itchy bacteria. Also remember to change sanitary napkins frequently and wash your hands before changing them.

In order to avoid poor ventilation, you should also avoid wearing tight clothes during menstruation. If the private parts are covered too tightly, body odor will not be easily dissipated, and the long-term closed state can easily cause vulvar itching.

If the itching does not subside and is accompanied by other symptoms and feels abnormal, it should be considered to be caused by an internal disease. At this time, you should choose a regular hospital for a gynecological examination.
