What is the reason for itching in the body accompanied by itching in the lower body?

When a woman's vaginal opening itches, she should neither scratch it nor take any medicine casually, because the vagina is an important organ of women. The vagina is directly connected to the organs of the body and is in an open state. If the vaginal opening itches, be careful that it is inflammation. This is mainly due to vulvar malnutrition, Trichomonas infection, fungal viruses, and vulvar secretion stimulation, which lead to vaginal itching. In normal times, you should pay attention to the normal vaginal characteristics of women and determine whether the vagina has any disease based on the normal vagina.

What causes vaginal itching?

1. Stimulation of secretions

Irritation from urine, sweat, and anal secretions.

2. Chronic vulvar dystrophy

The main symptom is extreme itching, accompanied by whitening of the vulva skin.

3. Thoughts at work

Some cases of vulvar itching do not have any obvious lesions, but the patient will scratch it because he feels itchy, and the more he scratches, the more itchy it becomes. This is a psychoneurological condition.

4. Trichomonas vaginalis infection

When the acidity of a woman's vaginal mucosa decreases, the production of lactic acid decreases, making vaginal Trichomonas infection more likely to occur, which manifests as foamy leucorrhea and vulvar itching.

5. Fungal infection

For women with diabetes or long-term use of antibiotics that cause imbalance of normal flora, Candida albicans among fungi can easily invade the vulva and vagina, causing fungal vulvar and vaginitis, often with bean curd-like leucorrhea and vulvar itching.

What are the characteristics of the female vagina?

1. The vagina responds to sex

Although the vagina is only 7 to 8 centimeters deep, its response to sexual stimulation is different. The nerve endings that respond to touch are concentrated only near the vagina, so the front 1/3 of the vagina is more sexually responsive than the back 2/3.

2. There is a pubococcygeus muscle at the vaginal opening

The vagina also has an important physiological characteristic. There is a circle of muscle surrounding the opening of the vagina, scientifically called the pubococcygeus muscle. When men reach orgasm, they will not obviously experience the above-mentioned feeling.

3. Objects that “fall” into the vagina will not disappear

A woman's cervix usually remains closed and the vagina is not connected to the rest of the body, so there is no need to worry that objects that "fall" into it will slip out. When this happens, the doctor can easily remove it with the help of a scope and surgical forceps.

4. The vagina can secrete sexual fluids

The vagina itself does not have secretory glands, but it has a rich network of blood vessels, and the entire surface of the vaginal wall is covered with a layer of mucous membrane. When sexual excitement occurs, the vascular network in the vagina becomes highly filled and secretes fluid to lubricate the vagina to prevent friction and damage to the vaginal wall during sexual intercourse. The mucus secreted by the vaginal mucosa keeps it lubricated.

5. The vagina will also deteriorate with use.

If a woman does not use or exercise her vagina for a long time, the vaginal wall will become fragile and sexual pleasure will decrease. Over time, when menopause arrives, the vagina will be susceptible to damage or even blockage. Therefore, always keep in mind that in addition to the function of childbirth, the vagina also has other important missions. Promote its health through exercise and maintaining sexual life.

6. The vagina will undergo significant changes after natural childbirth

The most direct change is that it becomes loose. However, the vagina is a very elastic organ and can be restored through some muscle exercises. The method is very simple. You just need to tighten the muscles that control the urethra, hold on for a few seconds each time, and do it more than 10 times a day. Vaginal discharge varies from person to person. The amount and smell of vaginal discharge varies from person to person, but be alert to any abnormalities. If you experience pain, itching, fever, or an odor, you should consult a doctor.
