What to do if your lower body is swollen, painful and itchy

When women experience swelling, pain and itching in their lower body, it is usually caused by vaginitis. For example, common trichomoniasis and candidal vaginitis can cause vulvar itching, swelling and pain in women. In addition, pubic lice and scabies may also cause swelling, pain and itching in the genitals. However, in addition to itching, the symptoms of vaginitis are also accompanied by abnormal vaginal discharge and infection. Learn more about what to do if your lower body is swollen, painful and itchy.

1. The causes of lower body swelling, pain and itching are as follows:

1. Special infections: Vulvitis, candidal vaginitis and Trichomonas vaginitis are the most common causes of vulvar itching.

2. Local allergy: caused by allergy to condoms, tampons, sanitary napkins or other drugs or chemicals.

3. Bad hygiene habits: Not paying attention to the local cleanliness of the vulva, long-term stimulation of the vulva by sebum, sweat, menstruation, and vaginal secretions can cause itching: using rubber or plastic menstrual belts during menstruation, and wearing non-breathable chemical fiber underwear at other times can induce itching due to the accumulation of moisture and heat.

4. Vulvar malnutrition: The main symptom is severe itching, accompanied by whitening of the vulvar skin. I had these symptoms before, and I went to several hospitals and tried more than a dozen medicines, but none of them worked. Later, I heard by chance that Yu Shuning Decoction was good, so I tried it. I took it orally and applied it externally every day, and after about two months, the disease that had troubled me for several years was completely cured. I have stopped taking the medicine for nearly ten years and it has not recurred.

5. Other skin lesions, abrasions, common warts, herpes, eczema, and tumors can all cause vulvar itching. These symptoms should be paid attention to in daily life.

2. Treatment Methods

1. Fumigation and washing medicine cannot be taken orally.

2. When the outside temperature is high, the fumigation solution should generally not be left overnight to prevent it from deteriorating.

3. Make all preparations to ensure smooth treatment.

4. During the treatment period, you should get adequate rest, avoid spicy food and overwork.

5. After fumigation, wipe the affected area dry with a soft towel and avoid wind.

6. The temperature of the medicine solution should be appropriate, not too high to avoid burns, nor too low to affect the efficacy. Once a burn occurs, treatment should be suspended and drugs such as gentian violet should be applied to the wound to prevent infection.

7. The amount of water added to decoction should be determined according to the situation. It should not be too much or too little. Too much water will result in too low concentration, while too little water will result in insufficient heat, both of which will affect the efficacy.

8. Pay attention to the treatment of the primary disease, keep the vulva clean and dry, and do not wash it too frequently with soap. Avoid scratching, alcohol and irritating food; prevent the consequences of vulvar itching from affecting your life, women should avoid scratching, rubbing, and hot water washing; appropriately use sedatives, safety drugs, and antihistamines to adjust emotions, reduce anxiety and tension, and relieve itching; use local antipruritic drugs. Care for reproductive health and improve quality of life.
