What to do if the outside of the vagina is itchy

Itching on the outside of the vagina is a relatively common symptom, mainly because the skin and mucous membrane of the vulva are irritated and affected, resulting in itching symptoms. There are many reasons for such symptoms, which are related to gynecological diseases and may also be caused by sexually transmitted diseases. In addition, if a woman has a chronic disease such as diabetes, it is also easy to cause such symptoms. In daily life, you must pay attention to timely treatment and conditioning.

In order to nourish blood and yin and nourish the skin, you can eat some red dates, wolfberries, and various nuts appropriately. Eat less or no spicy food to avoid damaging yin fluid and aggravating dry skin. In addition, fishy and wind-inducing foods such as mutton and seafood will aggravate the itching, so try to eat less or no spicy food.
