What to do if the vulva is rotten and itchy

Vulvar itching is a problem faced by many women. In life, some women like to wear tight pants and non-breathable lace underwear. They look good, but their health will be affected to a certain extent. In addition, for women who have sex, the vulva is easily irritated by friction, and then stimulated by urine, it will feel itchy. If the itching is extreme, you should go to the hospital for a check-up to see if you have candidal vaginitis.

What to do if the vulva is rotten and itchy

1. Change your underwear every day, and it is best to wear loose cotton underwear to keep the vagina breathable and dry.

2. Avoid mental stress and do not cover yourself too thickly when sleeping, which can reduce the pain and itching.

3. Avoid smoking, drinking, eating seafood, sweet, greasy and other foods to prevent aggravating vaginal inflammation and congestion.

4. Do not scratch. When the vagina is itchy, do not scratch it hard to prevent bleeding, redness and swelling. Do not use hot water to wash it to avoid burns.

5. Not paying attention to hygiene habits and always wiping from the anus to the urethra after defecation may bring certain bacteria into the vagina and cause recurrence. Therefore, develop good hygiene habits.

6. Pay attention to hygiene. For example, do not wash underwear and socks at the same time, and do not share a bathtub with others, as this may easily cause cross-infection of germs and lead to recurrence.

7. In addition to eliminating human causes, you should also pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva, wear cotton underwear, do not wear tight pants or underwear, avoid using alkaline soaps, and try to reduce mechanical stimulation to the vulva.

8. Avoid spicy foods in your diet, such as chili, pepper, fennel, Sichuan pepper, star anise, onion, fried dough sticks, roasted lamb, grilled chicken, fried quail, fried pork chops, and fried chicken wings.

9. If there is any damage or infection in the area. You can use 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution (add a small amount of potassium permanganate powder to warm water to make it light red, not too concentrated) for soaking, twice a day, each time for 20 to 30 minutes. It is best to see a doctor and follow the doctor's advice.

10. Correct bad habits. Not having a good habit of cleaning the vulva is indeed the cause of itching. The vulva has many wrinkles. If a lot of grayish-white dirt accumulates in the wrinkles, it will irritate the delicate mucous membrane and skin. On the contrary, some women are overly particular about disinfection and sterility, and often use alkaline soap to wash the vulva, which causes excessive degreasing and makes the vulva dry, which can also lead to itching. Therefore, women's daily cleaning methods should be scientific, and they only need to clean the vulva moderately with clean water every day. In order to treat the problem of vulvar itching, you must correct the following 6 bad habits.

(1) Sitting for a long time. Women who sit in the office for a long time and do not move often are very likely to experience symptoms of vulvar itching. Sitting in a chair for a long time without moving will make the vulva stuffy, especially in chairs with very soft cushions.

(2) Not paying attention to hygiene during menstruation. Failure to clean the vulva in time during menstruation causes menstrual blood or vaginal secretions to accumulate in the vulva for a long time. Or wearing synthetic underwear on a regular basis will often keep the vulva in a hot and humid environment, which often causes itching of the vulva.

(3) Frequent use of sanitary pads. Most of my colleagues often use sanitary pads before or in the last few days of menstruation, but sanitary pads are usually very thin and become saturated after absorbing a little secretion. Local moisture may return to the skin, increasing the temperature and humidity of the entire perineum, which is more suitable for bacterial reproduction.

(4) Excessive cleaning. Gynecological inflammation is related to personal hygiene habits. Indiscriminate use of washing liquid may cause gynecological inflammation. Because a normal vagina has its own pH value (acidity and alkalinity), the indiscriminate use of vaginal washes will often disrupt the acid-base balance of the vagina. Disruption of this balance can lead to an imbalance in the vaginal flora and induce infection.

(5) Private treatment. Some women who were diagnosed with candidal vaginitis took antibiotics and potassium permanganate sitz baths on their own, which only made their condition worse. Little do people know that candidal vaginitis cannot be treated with antibiotics, and must be treated with drugs specifically targeting fungi. Otherwise, it will only cause further imbalance of vaginal flora and aggravate fungal infection. Potassium permanganate is an acidic drug, and mold is suitable for surviving in an acidic environment.

(6) Masturbation causes infection. Masturbation itself does not necessarily lead to perineal infections, and masturbation during menstruation itself does not necessarily lead to such infections. This is related to the way of masturbation. If only the clitoris is stimulated, infection will generally not occur. If foreign objects are inserted into the vagina, infection may occur due to the stimulation of these unclean objects or the abrasions they cause. If you pay attention to hygiene, no matter what method of masturbation is used, it should not cause infection. On the contrary, if the hands or perineum are not clean, or if masturbation is too intense and causes damage, infection is inevitable.
