How to treat vulvar itching

How to treat vulvar itching? This may be the topic that patients with this disease are most concerned about. Although vulvar itching is not a serious disease, it is also very distressing. Once it occurs in daily life and work, it is quite embarrassing, especially when there are many people around. So today we will talk about the causes of vulvar itching and how to treat this disease.

The main causes are: Trichomonas, fungal infection, wearing underwear made of chemical fiber fabrics, using rubber or plastic menstrual belts, obesity, tight underwear, frequent use of alkaline soaps or neglect of vulva hygiene. Vulvar leukoplakia, eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, burns, diabetes, anemia, etc. can also cause it.

(1) For vulvar pain and itching caused by Trichomonas, take metronidazole orally under the guidance of a physician, 0.2 g each time, 3 times a day, 7 times as a course of treatment, and at the same time insert Diweijing tablets or metronidazole tablets into the vagina, 1 tablet every night, 10 days as a course of treatment. The effect will be better if combined with vaginal douching. Married persons must examine their male spouse and receive treatment at the same time.

(2) For vulvar pain and itching caused by fungi, flush the vagina with 2% to 4% soda water under the guidance of a doctor once a night, and insert a tablet of Kemeinuan into the vagina at the same time. Ten times is a course of treatment. You can also apply gentian violet or ice boron paste intravaginally.

(3) Eliminate human causes, pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva, wear cotton underwear that is not too tight, avoid using alkaline soaps, and minimize mechanical stimulation to the vulva.

(4) For vulvar pain and itching that cannot be diagnosed at the moment, 3% boric acid or 1% to 2% chlorhexidine solution can be used for wet compresses, 40% zinc oxide oil, calamine lotion and 2% diphenhydramine ointment can be used locally. If necessary, chlorpheniramine can be taken orally, but hormones, iodine, alcohol and the like should not be used.

(5) Avoid mental stress and do not cover yourself too thickly when sleeping, which can reduce the pain and itching.

(6) Avoid smoking, drinking, coffee, and eating spicy foods.

From the above-mentioned treatment of vulvar itching, I believe female friends have some experience. In fact, this disease can be prevented and treated, because it is mainly caused by infection. As long as everyone does a good job of cleaning and personal hygiene, those who are not sick can prevent and treat it, and those who are sick can definitely alleviate the condition.
