Vulvar pruritus is a symptom caused by various vulvar diseases, but it can also occur in people with completely normal vulva. When the itching worsens, the patient often becomes restless, which affects his life and work. Vulvar itching is mostly located in the clitoris and labia minora. It can also affect the labia majora, perineum and even perianal areas. Long-term scratching may cause scratches, blood scabs or secondary folliculitis.

Do not wash with hot water and avoid using soap. Clothes, especially underwear, should be loose and breathable. Avoid alcohol and spicy or allergic foods.

From the perspective of holistic treatment, the onset of vulvar itching is also closely related to the liver, spleen, kidney and other internal organs in the body, and involves the Ren and Du meridians. Some are caused by damp-heat in the liver meridians and leucorrhea soaking the genitals; some are caused by liver-kidney yin deficiency, loss of essence and blood, and malnutrition of the vulva. Vulvar itching often occurs interchangeably with leucorrhea, and in severe cases, it may also be complicated by vulvar pain.
