Whitening around the female urethra

The urethra is an important part of a woman's reproductive organs, and its importance is self-evident. Abnormalities are also easy to occur in the urethra. The most typical one is the whitening around the female urethral opening. A single symptom cannot determine the final disease. There are many possible types of diseases in this regard, and we must check them one by one. So, what is the reason for the whiteness around the female urethra? Let’s take a look at the reasons below.

1. Fungal vaginitis: Female friends experience itching of the vulva, vagina, vaginal opening, urethral opening, vulvar flushing, and bean curd-like leucorrhea with an odor. Scratching may cause eczematous changes of the vulvar dermatitis.

2. Vaginal trichomoniasis: Female friends experience itching of the vulva, vagina, urethral opening, foamy leucorrhea, often accompanied by a special odor. After scratching, the vulva also develops eczematous dermatitis. A vaginal smear test can be used to distinguish it from the above conditions.

3. Local skin uncleanness: Some women use toilet paper improperly, and the skin of the vulva is soaked by menstrual blood, vaginal secretions, and even urine, feces and sweat, which causes chronic inflammation of the local skin, causing itching of the vulva and urethra.

4. Drug allergy: Women with allergic constitutions may experience "fixed drug rash" caused by taking some drugs. It often occurs at the junction of the skin and mucous membrane of the vulva. In addition to local itching, it may also be complicated by erosion and exudation. If you use drugs for vaginal washing or vaginal insertion, if allergic reactions and contact dermatitis occur, vulvar itching and urethral itching may also occur.

For healthy and mature women, the color of the vulva is slightly darker than other parts of the body. The older you are, the darker the color. If you find that your vagina is pale or very red, you should go to the hospital for a check-up, as it may be a gynecological inflammation. Therefore, once women find any abnormality in the urethra opening, they should go to the hospital for medical treatment in time.
