What causes itchy labia?

For female friends, it is still very important to protect their own health and avoid gynecological diseases. When there is itching in the labia, you should be vigilant.

Vulvar itching is a very common symptom of gynecological diseases. The vulva is a particularly sensitive area. Various gynecological diseases and external stimuli can cause itching, making people unable to sleep or eat, and unable to sit or lie down. Vulvar itching often occurs on the clitoris and labia minora, and may also affect the labia majora, perineum and perianal area.

Vulvar itching is mostly caused by vulvar inflammation caused by Trichomonas or fungal infection, which causes a large amount of abnormal leucorrhea to irritate the vulva and cause itching. Vulvar itching can also be caused by flushing the vulva and vagina with disinfectant, or placing certain drugs in the vagina (such as sulfonamides, furacillin, strong alkaline soaps, potassium permanganate solution, etc.), causing vulvar skin allergies or dermatitis.

Not paying attention to hygiene during menstruation, or using rubber or plastic menstrual belts, and failing to clean the vulva regularly, can cause menstrual blood or vaginal secretions to accumulate in the vulva for a long time; or wearing synthetic underwear at ordinary times, which often puts the vulva in a hot and humid environment, often causing vulva itching. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital's gynecology department for a pathogenic examination of vaginal or cervical secretions, and treat the symptoms after a clear diagnosis.
