What causes vulvar itching and stinging during urination?

The female vagina is particularly important and also particularly fragile. If you do not pay attention to hygiene or care, many problems will arise. Sometimes we will have vulvar itching or stinging when urinating. Such situations also need to be taken seriously.

1. The most common local cause is increased vaginal discharge, especially vaginitis caused by Trichomonas or fungal infection. The large amount of abnormal vaginal discharge irritates the vulva and makes it itchy.

2. If you use disinfectant to rinse the vulva and vagina, or place certain drugs such as sulfonamides, bevacizumab, chlorhexidine suppositories, etc. in the vagina, it may cause vulvar skin allergies or dermatitis and vulvar itching.

3. Not paying attention to hygiene during menstruation, or using rubber or plastic menstrual belts, and failing to clean the vulva regularly, causing menstrual blood or vaginal secretions to accumulate in the vulva for a long time. Or wearing synthetic underwear on a regular basis will often keep the vulva in a wet and hot environment, which can often cause itching of the vulva.

4. Some people often use strongly alkaline soap or potassium permanganate solution to clean the vulva, which causes the vulva skin to become dry, lack of oil and become itchy.

5. People suffering from morning worm disease often suffer from itching because morning worms often crawl out of the anus and irritate the area around the anus and the vulva, especially at night, which may even affect sleep.

6. If the vulvar itching is not caused by the above reasons, it is likely to be caused by a variety of vulvar skin diseases and itching symptoms, such as vulvar eczema, neurodermatitis, atrophic sclerosis lichen, vulvar dermatitis, etc. These diseases can not only cause varying degrees of itching, but also the vulvar skin may.

Through the above introduction, we understand the main reasons for female vulva itching and stinging when urinating. When such a situation occurs, we must pay attention to it and take active measures to treat or condition it. Generally, we should pay attention to a light diet and pay attention to the cleanliness, dryness and hygiene of the vulva in our daily life. If there is still no improvement, we should go to the hospital for examination.
