How to reduce swelling of labia majora during pregnancy

Pregnant women have special physical conditions and are prone to pregnancy complications such as vaginitis, gestational hypertension, and hyperglycemia during this period. If you have vaginitis, common symptoms are redness, stinging, and itching. Some people have these symptoms, but no vaginal pathogens are found after examination. The reason is that it may be caused by irritation from urine or sexual intercourse. How to reduce swelling in this situation?

What should I do if my labia minora is itchy, painful and swollen?

First: If you have vulvar itching, you need to pay attention to vulvar hygiene and keep the vulva dry. Do not scratch it with your nails, and do not scald it with hot water to avoid damage. Pay attention to the proper cleaning of the genitals. Women should not use soaps with strong alkalinity when bathing, nor should they scrub the genitals hard, and they should not use vaginal cleansing liquid frequently.

Second: Choose the right medicine. If the itching is still severe, you can use some topical ointments or oral medications, such as cortisone ointment, prodrug, diphenhydramine, etc., but they must be used under the guidance of a doctor. Do not use any medication on your own, as the vulva can easily become infected.

Third: Pay attention to the treatment of vulvar itching in daily life, go to the hospital for treatment in time, and check the cause of vulvar itching. In addition, when vulvar itching occurs and is being treated, sexual intercourse should be avoided to prevent cross infection, which will increase the degree and severity of the infection.

Precautions

Female patients should pay attention to their personal hygiene, avoid wearing tight or synthetic underwear, pay attention to a hygienic and reasonable diet, avoid drinking and smoking too much, seek medical treatment in a timely manner, maintain a happy mood in daily life, etc.
