What should I do if I have vaginal itching?

The problem of vaginal itching should be dealt with correctly and effectively. Pay attention to supplementing B vitamins in your diet, eat less spicy and irritating foods, wear loose cotton underwear to avoid local friction and irritation, and pay more attention to menstrual health and hygiene.

1. Improvement of diet. Women with vaginal itching can eat more coarse grains to supplement B vitamins and strengthen the skin. For example, oats, corn, pumpkin, etc. can supplement B vitamins. 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 foods such as mutton and seafood will aggravate the itching, so try to eat less or no spicy food.

2. Strengthen skin touch. The skin is delicate. If you don't treat it well, it will be easily damaged, especially itchy skin. The more itchy it is, the more you want to scratch it, but the more you scratch, the greater the damage, and it is easy to cause infection. Scratching vaginal itching with sharp nails may provide temporary relief, but it will cause great harm to the skin, and the itching will only become more and more severe. When we treat the skin, whether it is itchy or normal, we should touch it, clean it with vaginal cleansing items, and gently massage it. We can increase the strength appropriately for the itchy area.

3. Wear loose cotton and silk clothes and underwear. Chemical fiber clothes produce great friction with the skin, so avoid static electricity irritating the skin; newly bought underwear should be washed before wearing; it is best to wash clothes, underwear and socks separately, and pay attention to exposing the underwear to the sun after washing.

4. Pay attention to menstrual hygiene and keep the vulva clean and dry. Clean the vulva regularly, avoid excessive cleaning, do not use clean water or soap to clean the vulva, and avoid scratching with your hands or instruments when cleaning.

5. Actively treat the primary disease, such as diabetes, kidney disease, liver disease, etc., which can cause or aggravate the degree of itching; in addition, attention should be paid to hygiene during sexual life to avoid sexually transmitted diseases.
