What is the cause of postpartum itching?

Postpartum itching in the lower body is a problem that many mothers suffer from. If you want to effectively improve and solve this problem, you should wear cotton underwear and change it frequently, pay attention to the hygiene of your private parts, and avoid unclean sexual life.

1. Wear cotton underwear and change it frequently. Keep the towel and basin for cleaning the vulva separate. Washed underwear should be placed in the sun to dry, not in the bathroom.

2. Wear breathable clothes and avoid wearing pantyhose or tight jeans continuously.

3. After defecation, wipe from front to back to avoid bringing Candida albicans from the anus to the vagina.

4. If you used to like sitting by the pool in your swimsuit and chatting, you’ll have to change that behavior in the future. Don’t sit casually in public swimming pools, bathrooms, or even public toilets.

5. Please try to stay cheerful, because psychological reasons can also reduce the body's immunity, allowing Candida to take advantage of the opportunity to invade.

6. Do not use disinfectants or various cleansers to frequently rinse the vulva and vagina. It is best to clean the genitals with clean water rather than various types of lotions.

7. Conduct a gynecological disease screening before pregnancy and seek timely treatment if any disease is discovered. Once you have vaginitis, you should follow the doctor's advice, take medication according to the prescribed course of treatment, eliminate the causing factors, develop good hygiene habits, and avoid unclean sexual life.

8. When women experience vaginal congestion, increased vaginal discharge, itching, burning or discomfort in the lower body, etc., these are symptoms that may indicate vaginitis and they should try to avoid sexual intercourse. Because the friction of sexual organs during sexual intercourse will aggravate the symptoms of vaginal congestion, women will feel stronger discomfort after sexual intercourse. In addition, the pathogens of some vaginitis, such as Trichomonas vaginitis and Candidal vaginitis, can be transmitted to men through sexual intercourse. Even if the woman is cured, if the man is not treated, cross-infection will occur again in the future, forming a vicious circle.
