What to do if vaginal itching occurs?

God created Adam and gave him a strong body, but did not give Eve anything. I don’t know if it is as the myth says, so women are born prone to diseases. Women have many diseases, among which the most common diseases for women include vaginal itching and other problems. Many women lack knowledge in this area, and many people do not understand what vaginal itching is. Let me tell you.

Vulvar itching often occurs in the vagina, on the outside of the labia majora, mons pubis, clitoris, labia minora, and perineum, and can spread to the vicinity of the anus. It is a type of localized pruritus. The itching is often unbearable, often occurring at night. It often worsens during menstruation or after eating spicy food. Vulvar itching often manifests as paroxysmal, but sometimes persistent, often worsening at night. Severe itching causes restlessness. Long-term itching can cause ulceration, redness, swelling, or secondary infection. Due to long-term scratching, local infiltration, hypertrophy and pigmentation may occur. The diagnosis is easy based on the clinical presence of only secondary skin lesions and no primary skin lesions.

Most girls suffering from this disease are ashamed to seek medical treatment and often do not receive timely treatment. As time goes by, the itching becomes stubborn, which affects their mental health and even their study and work in severe cases. There are many reasons for vulvar itching. In summary, the most common local factors causing this disease are: ① External stimulation. Sometimes birth control pills can also cause itching. Itching can also be caused by tight underwear, friction between underwear, and irritation from menstrual belts. Vulvar itching can be caused by not paying attention to the hygiene of the vulva, irritants from vaginal secretions, vulvar secretions, sweat, moisture, immersion, chemical fiber underwear, unqualified menstrual belts, rough toilet paper, allergies caused by vulvar and vaginal medication, and frequent washing of the vulva with soap. Vulvar itching is often accompanied by anal itching, which is related to irritation from external hemorrhoids, long-term incontinence, anal fistula, anal fissure, anal excrement and fecal residues.

Many women have a poor sense of self-protection. For example, vaginal itching may be caused by not taking good care of their bodies in daily life. In addition, women who are unrestrained in life are prone to sexually transmitted diseases, which is the greatest harm to their bodies. Women should learn to protect themselves.
