Can I have sex with vulvar eczema?

When a woman develops vulvar eczema, she is prohibited from having sex. On the one hand, it is easy to cause cross infection, and on the other hand, it is easy to produce adverse stimulation, which will aggravate the symptoms. She should be treated first, and only have sex after the treatment improves. There are many methods of treatment, which can be treated with certain medications. In addition, she should emphasize nourishment, pay attention to diet and health, and improve her body's disease resistance.

General treatment

General treatment is to trace the cause as much as possible, isolate allergens and various adverse stimuli, and treat systemic chronic diseases such as indigestion, intestinal parasites, diabetes, mental and neurological disorders, etc. Keep the perineum clean and dry, do not use soap to clean skin lesions, and do not apply irritating antipruritic drugs. Avoid allergenic foods such as various foreign proteins, do not drink alcohol and eat spicy foods, etc. Avoid excessive fatigue and mental stress.

Topical treatments

Local treatment is the main method, and cold wet compresses with saline are used in the acute phase. Apply zinc oxide ointment when erythema, blisters and exudation are not obvious. If there is no exudate or pustules, 1% phenolic glycerin lotion can be used for external washing. If there is obvious exudation, 3% boric acid solution and 1:8000-1:5000 potassium manganate solution can be used for cold wet compress. If erosion occurs, it is advisable to use compound copper sulfate solution for external washing to prevent corrosion and astringency.

In case of secondary bacterial and fungal infection, corresponding antibacterial and antifungal ointments such as 0.5% neomycin ointment, 2% oxytetracycline and zinc oxide ointment can be used for smearing. 0.1% ethacridine (Rivanol) solution can be used for wet compresses. In the scab period, in addition to wet compresses, triamcinolone acetate (triamcinolone) cream, fluocinolone acetonide cream, etc. can be applied to astringe and relieve itching and keep the area dry.

Causes of vulvar eczema

1. Allergens in the body

Such as intestinal parasites, certain metabolic products, digestive tract diseases, and autoantigens produced by human tissues under the influence of certain factors.

2. Genital stimulation

Such as increased vaginal discharge, scratching, urinary fistula, etc.

3. External allergens

Such as chemicals, cosmetics, dyes, radiation, toxins from certain animals, foreign proteins such as eggs, fish, shrimp, milk, and pollen from certain plants or dust in the air.

4. Mental factors

For example, mental stress, excessive fatigue, depression, etc. may cause neuroendocrine dysfunction, which in turn may increase the skin's susceptibility to various stimuli through neural reflexes or endocrine influences, thus inducing eczema.
