1. Why is the vulva red, swollen, itchy and with small bumps?

It is considered that vulvar itching is caused by vulvar vaginitis or vaginitis due to local infection of the vulva, which is generally caused by uncleanliness and infection.

Vulvar itching caused by vaginitis or vaginitis can be treated with Diliya. Sexual intercourse is prohibited during treatment. Keep your vagina clean and dry. For local allergies, you can take anti-allergic drugs and eliminate the substances that cause allergies. It usually doesn’t take too long to recover. Pay attention to the hygiene of the genitals. Use clean water when washing the genitals and try not to flush water into the vagina.

2. How to maintain the vagina

1. Understand the structure of your genitals, the relative positions of the labia minora, urethra, and vagina. You can also use a mirror to examine them. Knowing more about the physiological structure will help you discover problems earlier.

2. Change sanitary napkins frequently during menstruation, and try not to wear tight, non-breathable clothing before and after menstruation, such as leather jackets, leather pants, jeans, tights, etc. It is best to wear pure cotton products. New underwear must be washed before wearing.

3. When in a healthy state, you should not wash your vulva more than twice a day. Washing refers to washing the vulva, not the vagina. You can rinse the vulva with warm water and then dry it with a clean towel. Under normal circumstances, the vagina does not need to be cleaned at all. There are many beneficial bacteria in the vagina, and the vagina itself will maintain cleanliness. Therefore, there will usually be some uneven, pale white secretions in small amounts, which are produced by normal vaginal self-cleaning. Frequent vaginal douching in the absence of infection may increase the chance of bacterial and fungal infection.

4. After using the toilet, remember to wipe from front to back to avoid bringing bacteria from the anus to the genitals.

5. Because hair has a protective function, it is best not to shave pubic hair to avoid irritation and infection.
