Why does it itch sometimes?

Itching down there refers to itching in the private parts. Due to their special physiological structure, women are more susceptible to various infections, such as urethritis and vaginitis. In addition, failure to clean properly and the use of sanitary napkins that are not breathable enough may also cause itching down there. At this time, it is recommended that women do a good job of cleaning. After excluding the above-mentioned causes of itching, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up to rule out whether it is candidal vaginitis and receive symptomatic treatment.

According to what has been said, it is possible that it is candidal vaginitis. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a check-up. It mainly requires local irrigation, suppositories and treatment with spouse. Avoid sexual intercourse during treatment to avoid cross-infection between couples. Avoid unclean sexual intercourse. Follow-up is required after treatment, as recurrence may occur afterwards, especially for candidal vaginitis, which may recur if not treated thoroughly or there are predisposing factors. Therefore, you should go to the hospital for examination after one week of treatment and after the next menstruation is over. Incomplete treatment is one of the reasons for the recurrence and difficulty in treating vaginitis. The standard for cure is that the leucorrhea is negative after three cycles of menstruation. Avoid excessive scratching, rubbing, washing with hot water, etc. for itching. Do not use strong alkaline soap for bathing, and do not use bath agents to repeatedly clean the vulva or rinse the vagina, which will cause changes in vaginal pH and lead to an imbalance of normal vaginal flora, thereby destroying the vaginal acidic antibacterial barrier. Do not abuse highly irritating hormone topical drugs.

Pay attention to personal hygiene, keep the vulva clean and dry, change underwear frequently, and use vulva equipment for one person only. Used underwear, towels, and basins should be washed with boiling water and exposed to the sun instead of drying them in the sun. When going to public places such as public toilets, swimming pools, and bathrooms, be careful to prevent cross infection. Underwear should be soft, loose and preferably made of cotton. Avoid wearing down, nylon and wool clothes close to your skin, and avoid washing underwear and socks together. Do not wear synthetic underwear or jeans. When men take a bath, they should turn over their foreskin and clean the smegma in the foreskin sac. This is the simplest and most effective way to prevent inflammation and avoid using a large amount of broad-spectrum antibiotics, which may cause an imbalance in the normal vaginal flora.

If long-term use of oral contraceptives causes recurrent vaginitis, you should stop taking contraceptives and use other methods of contraception instead, enhance the body's resistance, improve nutrition, exercise, improve the body's immunity, and reduce the chance of developing conditional pathogens.
