Vaginal itching during menstruation

During the menstrual period, some women may feel obvious vaginal itching, which is very uncomfortable. So, what is the reason for vaginal itching during menstruation? Female vulvar itching may be related to the disease, or it may be caused by not paying attention to hygiene during menstruation. What should women do when their vagina is itchy during menstruation?

1. Change sanitary napkins: If the patient only experiences this condition during menstruation, it may be caused by an allergy to the sanitary napkin. Nowadays, there are many products on the market that do not meet the standards, including sanitary napkins. If this situation always occurs during the menstrual period, and the patient uses a certain brand of sanitary napkins regularly, she can replace it with some well-known brands of sanitary napkins or menstrual cups, which may give the patient some relief.

2. Pay attention to hygiene: Secondly, itching may also be caused by vaginal bleeding and moisture of the vulva. For this situation, the patient must clean more during the menstrual period. Before changing the sanitary napkin, you can clean the private parts with hot water first. You can also use salt water to clean every night during the days of menstruation. In addition, patients must not wear pants that are too tight. In addition, patients should try to avoid using medicated lotions to clean the vagina in their daily lives. In that way, the patient can also have a healing effect.

Causes of vaginal itching during menstruation

1. Sanitary napkin allergy: Vulvar itching during menstruation may be related to sanitary napkin allergy. For example, women who have changed sanitary napkin brands may have skin allergies to some ingredients in sanitary napkins when using these sanitary napkins. It is recommended to stop using these sanitary napkins and switch to other brands.

2. Not paying attention to hygiene: During the menstrual period, you must pay more attention to the hygiene of the private parts. If you do not pay attention to the hygiene of the private parts, a large number of bacteria will multiply and grow, causing gynecological inflammation and causing vulvar itching. In addition, not changing sanitary napkins in time can also cause vulvar itching, so sanitary napkins need to be changed every few hours.

3. Fungal vaginitis: Vulvar itching during menstruation may be caused by fungal vaginitis, because one of the common symptoms of this type of vaginitis is vulvar itching. If there are also abnormalities in the normal secretions, such as yellowing in color, being like tofu dregs, or having an odor, then the possibility of infection with candidal vaginitis is very high.

4. Candidal vaginitis: Candidal vaginitis can also cause vulvar itching. If it is Candidal vaginitis, the discharge will be abnormal during the non-menstrual period, such as light green foam-like discharge, fishy odor, etc., and itching symptoms will also occur.
