Why does women’s leucorrhea cause itchiness? Generally speaking, itchy vaginal discharge in women may be related to the following situations:

1. Caused by local skin uncleanliness: Summer is here, some women like to wear super short skirts and sit anywhere. Some women use toilet paper improperly, and the skin of the vulva is soaked by menstrual blood, vaginal secretions, and even urine, feces and sweat, which causes chronic inflammation of the local skin, causing itching of the vulva and urethra.

2. Vaginal trichomoniasis: Symptoms include itching of the vulva and vagina, itching of the urethral orifice, and foamy leucorrhea, often accompanied by a special odor. After scratching, the vulva also develops eczematous dermatitis. A vaginal smear test can be used to distinguish it from the above conditions.

3. Fungal vaginitis: Symptoms include itching of the vulva and vagina, itching of the vaginal opening, itching of the urethral opening, vulvar flushing, and dregs-like leucorrhea with an odor. Scratching may cause eczematous changes of the vulvar dermatitis.

What should women do if their leucorrhea is itchy? First of all, we female friends should realize that leucorrhea is the secretion of our female vagina. If the leucorrhea appears white and paste-like or egg white-like, is highly viscous, has no fishy smell, is in small amounts, and has no adverse effects on women's health, it is called physiological leucorrhea. The changes in leucorrhea are all related to changes in women's physical and physiological conditions. If white mucus such as mucus or saliva flows out of a woman's vagina, accompanied by systemic or local symptoms, it is called pathological leucorrhea. It is mostly caused by physical weakness or phlegm and dampness, which is equivalent to vaginitis in Western medicine. Gynecological experts remind female friends that when they have pathological leucorrhea, they may often feel unbearable itching down there. At this time, early treatment is needed to prevent the condition from worsening and developing into gynecological diseases such as cervical erosion.
