Why do I feel a little itchy down there after my period?

Women have menstruation every month, which is also a need for the body's metabolism. Moreover, menstruation can purify a woman's body and expel dirt. It’s just that sometimes many women are prone to encounter problems of one kind or another during menstruation, which often have a great impact on their lives. So, what causes itchiness down there after your period?

The female vagina is a humid and stuffy environment. If it is often in a state of poor ventilation, it is easy to breed bacteria and cause vaginitis. Wearing tight pants, long-term use of sanitary pads, and poor breathability of underwear are often important factors that stimulate the onset of vaginitis. In addition, the chance of women who do not have sexual life developing gynecological inflammation is very small. Women of this type only need to pay more attention to personal hygiene in daily life, such as wearing loose pants or skirts, choosing breathable cotton underwear, walking more during menstruation, avoiding poor ventilation of the genitals, etc., and the symptoms will be relieved. There is no need to buy wash liquid for flushing.
