What causes vaginal itching?

Vaginal itching often makes many women miserable. Because it is relatively private, many women resist seeking medical treatment. In the later stages, the condition will become more serious, especially diseases such as trichomoniasis and fungal vaginitis, which will cause these adverse symptoms.

1. Vaginal trichomoniasis:

Female friends experience itching of the vulva, vagina, urethra, foamy leucorrhea, often with a peculiar odor, and after scratching, the vulva also develops eczematous dermatitis changes. A vaginal smear test can be used to distinguish it from the above conditions.

2. Fungal vaginitis:

Female friends may experience itching of the vulva, vagina, vaginal opening, urethral opening, vulvar flushing, and dregs-like leucorrhea with an odor. Scratching may cause eczematous changes of the vulvar dermatitis.

3. Drug allergy:

The itching caused by some drugs in women with allergic constitution often occurs at the junction of the skin and mucous membrane of the vulva. In addition to local itching, it may be complicated by erosion and exudation. If you use drugs for vaginal washing or vaginal insertion, if allergic reactions and contact dermatitis occur, vulvar itching and urethral itching may also occur.

4. Local skin uncleanness :

Some women use toilet paper improperly, and the skin of the vulva is soaked by menstrual blood, vaginal secretions, and even urine, feces and sweat, which causes chronic inflammation of the local skin, causing itching of the vulva and urethra.
