What should women do if their pubic hair is itchy?

Many women feel that their private parts, especially the pubic area, are prone to itching, which makes them worried. Therefore, they must pay attention to the analysis and understanding of the causes. For example, common malnutrition, drug allergies, and some chemical stimulation may cause itching. Only by understanding the causes can symptomatic treatment be given.

1. Local causes

(1) Chronic vulvar dystrophy is characterized by severe itching, accompanied by pale vulvar skin.

(2) Drug allergy or chemical irritation: Soap, condoms, Sanisol, mercurochrome, etc. can cause contact dermatitis due to direct irritation or allergy to these items, resulting in itching symptoms.

(3) Special infections: Candidal vaginitis and Trichomonas vaginitis are the most common causes of vulvar itching. Lice and scabies can also cause itching, which is usually more severe at night. The itching around the anus and vulva of young girls caused by pinworm infection usually only occurs at night, and the white pinworms can be seen with the naked eye.

(4) Bad hygiene habits: Not paying attention to the local cleanliness of the vulva. Long-term stimulation of the vulva by sebum, sweat, menstruation, vaginal secretions, and even urine and feces can cause itching. Using rubber or plastic menstrual belts during menstruation and wearing non-breathable chemical fiber underwear can induce itching due to the accumulation of damp heat.

(V) Other skin lesions, abrasions, common warts, herpes, eczema, and tumors can all cause vulvar itching.

2. Systemic causes

(1) Diabetes: Due to the irritation of diabetes to the vulvar skin, especially when accompanied by fungal vulvitis, vulvar itching is particularly severe. Many patients first seek medical attention due to itching and redness of the vulva, and are diagnosed with diabetes only after further examination.

(2) When patients with jaundice, vitamin A and B deficiency, anemia, leukemia and other chronic diseases experience vulvar itching, it is often part of generalized itching.

(3) Vulvar congestion during pregnancy and premenstrual period may occasionally cause vulvar itching and discomfort.
