What causes vaginal itching and pain?

When vaginal itching and pain occur, it is best to seek medical attention in time, and never take medicine on your own. In fact, when this problem occurs, we must first find the cause in time. Generally, there are many such situations, such as inflammation or infection. So what should we do after vaginal itching or pain will help our condition?

Causes: 1. Fungal vaginitis: vaginal itching, vulvar flushing, dregs-like leucorrhea with odor, and scratching can cause eczematous changes of vulvar dermatitis.

2. Vaginal trichomoniasis: Itching of the vulva and vagina, foamy leucorrhea, often accompanied by a special odor, and eczematous changes in the vulva after scratching. A vaginal smear test can be used to distinguish it from the above conditions.

3. Pubic lice: Pubic lice often stick to the skin surface or attach to the roots of pubic hair. Pubic lice eggs are grayish white and the size of a needle. The bites of pubic lice and their venom and excrement can cause itching and desquamation of the skin, and may lead to eczematous changes and folliculitis.

4. Pinworm infection: It mainly affects young girls, but adult women can also be infected. When the anus relaxes at night, the pinworms crawl out of the rectum and swim to the vulva to mate and lay eggs, and stimulate the skin and mucous membranes of the vulva, causing local itching.

Kind tips:

Drug allergy: "Fixed drug rash" caused by women with allergic constitution taking sulfonamides or other drugs 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. Vaginal itching may also occur if allergic reactions or contact dermatitis occur when using drugs for vaginal washing or vaginal insertion.

When discomfort occurs in the genitals, we should first go to the hospital for a more detailed examination in time. In addition, we should pay attention to controlling our diet and avoid eating overly irritating foods. In addition, we should keep the genitals clean. We can use some detergent to clean them appropriately. Finally, try to keep them separate from family laundry supplies to avoid cross infection.
