Vulvar itching after menstruation

Right after the menstruation ends, because in the previous few days, you always use sanitary napkins and panty liners to protect the vaginal area for a long time, which is damp and airtight, and easy to be infected with bacteria and inflammation. You must pay attention to personal hygiene issues right after the menstruation ends, otherwise it will cause vulvar itching. At this time, you cannot scratch it casually and need timely care.

1. Pay attention to personal hygiene

In daily life, you should change your underwear frequently, and the underwear should be made of pure cotton and breathable material; you should wash your vulva every day, but you cannot use very hot water or soap to scrub it to avoid causing damage to the vagina; if you are menstruating, you must keep your vulva clean and change sanitary napkins regularly.

2. Cannot catch

Vulva itching is unbearable, and many women will scratch it, which is a very incorrect behavior. Scratching will not only fail to relieve the itching, but may also expand the scope of infection and cause itching to a larger area. Do not use hot water to wash it, as this will make the itching even more unbearable.

Eat less spicy, fried and other foods that are easy to cause inflammation, and be sure not to eat irritating foods, because these foods will aggravate the itching of the vagina and the recurrence of inflammation. Such as fish, shrimp, crab, chicken head, pork head, goose meat, chicken wings, chicken feet, etc.

4. Keep a happy mood

Maintain a happy mood, relieve tension and anxiety, and use some sedatives appropriately, which can effectively relieve vulvar itching.

If the problem of vulvar itching is severe and there is skin damage or even infection, it is best to go to the hospital for examination and pay attention to the recurrence of the disease on a daily basis.
