Don't ignore vulvar itching and leucorrhea with odor, as the disease may be coming to you.

Leucorrhea is a barometer of women's health and can reflect women's physical health status. However, leucorrhea is also prone to problems, such as leucorrhea with an odor, and sometimes symptoms of vulvar itching, which have an adverse effect on women's normal life and work. So why do vulvar itching and leucorrhea with an odor occur?

1. Pathogen infection

The use of contaminated sanitary products allows pathogens to enter the reproductive tract through the vaginal opening, causing infection and increased vaginal discharge. Some types of pathogens enter the female reproductive system and may infect the reproductive tract, causing increased vaginal discharge. For example: When women go to the toilet, if they wipe the toilet paper in the wrong direction, they may bring bacteria from the anus into the reproductive tract and cause excessive vaginal discharge. Therefore, when women use toilet paper to wipe the anus, they should develop the habit of wiping from the vaginal opening toward the anus or to the side.

2. Trichomonas vaginalis infection

This infection can easily cause vulvar itching, excessive vaginal discharge, and a foul odor. It is generally believed that this infection is a type of sexually transmitted disease that can easily be transmitted between sexual partners. During treatment, the sexual partners must be treated at the same time to prevent cross-infection and achieve a complete cure.

3. Cervical erosion

The trauma of childbirth, changes in sex hormones, or inflammation of the cervix caused by sexual intercourse may lead to cervical erosion and increase the amount of leucorrhea. A small number of women may experience cervical erosion without any cause, which is called "congenital cervical erosion", which can also cause increased vaginal discharge and vulvar itching.

4. Increased leucorrhea caused by Candida albicans infection

Candida albicans has two characteristics: the first is that it has very strong vitality; the second is that it likes moisture. Therefore it is not easy to cure. People who take antibiotics, drugs or adrenal steroids for a long time, as well as pregnant women, diabetics, and women who like to wear tight clothes are more susceptible to infection, and it is not easy to cure once infected.

5. Foreign objects have entered the reproductive organs

There are gauze, tampons, menstrual plugs, etc. in the vagina. Some women have contraceptive devices placed in their uterus because it is not suitable for some reason. All of these will stimulate the reproductive organs and cause itching of the vulva and excessive vaginal discharge.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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.
