Why do I feel itchy in my private parts during menstruation?

Women's private parts are very delicate, and due to the special location, they are often exposed to various bacteria and are easily invaded by various bacteria, especially during the menstrual period. Because the private parts are often wrapped in tampons, the air permeability is very poor. If personal hygiene is not paid attention to, it is easy to cause private itching. So, what is the cause of private itching during menstruation? What are the causes of female vulvar itching?

Experts point out that in addition to irregular menstruation during menstruation, there is also vulvar itching during menstruation, which must be taken seriously; this is mostly caused by Trichomonas vaginitis or candidal vaginitis, a gynecological disease that causes serious harm to the patient's normal life. If not treated in time, it may cause cross-infection, leading to other diseases and affecting normal fertility in the future. The following are some of the reasons why female vulva itching occurs during menstruation:

1. If you use unclean sanitary napkins or tampons during your menstrual period, the cause may be the cause. At this time, if you grab your vagina with your hands or wipe it hard with toilet paper, or wash it hard with soap, the symptoms may worsen.

3. Wearing tight clothes during menstruation can also cause vulvar itching, because the tighter the clothes are sealed during menstruation, the harder it is for body odor to dissipate. If it accumulates for a long time, the odor will become stronger and stronger, and the long-term sealed state will also cause vulvar itching.

Treatment of vulvar itching in women during menstruation

1. Do not abuse medications.

Be sure to avoid misusing or abusing drugs, and avoid scratching and local friction.

2. Eliminate the source of itching .

Eliminate local or systemic factors that cause itching, such as trichomoniasis, fungal infection, diabetes, vaginitis, etc. If you suffer from vulvar itching caused by such pathological conditions, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time.

3. Keep your body clean and dry.

Many people wrap their lower body tightly during their menstrual period in order to isolate body odor, but doing so has the opposite effect. The tighter the seal, the harder it is for body odor to dissipate. As it accumulates over a long period of time, the odor becomes stronger and stronger. Long-term sealing will also have some side effects on the body and is conducive to the growth of bacteria.

When choosing sanitary napkins, choose thin and breathable ones. And also pay attention to the storage and use of sanitary napkins, as shown below:

(1) Sanitary napkins must be clean and stored in a ventilated and dry place.

(2) Do not use sanitary napkins and panty liners that may be contaminated. Do not use those that are damp, moldy, or infected with bacteria.

(3) Sanitary napkins should not be placed in the bathroom. The bathroom is humid and has no sunlight, which can easily breed bacteria and fungi and contaminate the sanitary napkins. Do not use sanitary napkins that have passed their expiration date.

(4) Try to use up the sanitary napkin in one go after unpacking. If it is not used up, the unpacked sanitary napkin should be placed in a clean environment, in a sealed package or container. It is best to use a zipper seal or sealing strip with multiple seals.
