Why is there redness, swelling and itching on one side of the vulva?

Many female friends have encountered this situation: they pay great attention to the cleanliness of the vulva and are very particular about the underwear they wear, but they are still troubled by problems such as vulva itching. Especially one side of the vulva becomes red, swollen and itchy, which is extremely painful and itchy, making people restless and seriously affecting their work and life. So what causes redness, swelling and itching on one side of the vulva? Let me tell you the reasons below.

1. Vulvar dryness: Excessive use of potassium permanganate solution for sitz baths and vulvar dryness in postmenopausal women can also cause vulvar itching, which is the main cause of vulvar itching.

2. Various diseases of the vulva: such as vulvar eczema, vulvar hypopigmentation or leukoplakia, vulvar ringworm, vulvar neurodermatitis, vulvar condyloma, etc. can cause vulvar itching.

3. Irritation from secretions: Inflammation of the reproductive tract caused by fungi, gonococci, Trichomonas, and bacteria, which produces abnormal leucorrhea, as well as stimulation from urine (thin urine, urinary incontinence) and feces (thin feces) can cause vulvar itching.

4. Chemicals and drugs stimulate local itching: such as alkaline soaps, condoms, sanitary napkins, synthetic underwear, etc., which directly contact the local area and stimulate itching.

5. Systemic diseases. Systemic diseases mainly include diabetes, anemia, leukemia, polycythemia, skin diseases, hepatobiliary diseases (such as jaundice), kidney diseases, lymphoma, etc. In addition to general itching, vulvar itching is often accompanied. According to statistics, 3.4% of 500 diabetic patients had localized itching, mainly vulvar itching.

6. Drug rash: "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, causing local itching. Vulvar itching may also occur if allergic reactions and contact dermatitis occur after using drugs for vaginal douching or vaginal implantation.

The above editor introduces several reasons for the redness, swelling and itching on one side of the vulva. I hope everyone can understand it. Physical discomfort can bring great inconvenience to work and life, so we must pay more attention to our physical health in daily life, especially female friends who are under great pressure at work, should pay more attention to their health problems.
