What causes vaginal itching before menstruation?

Menstruation is an important process in women's lives. Menstruation is supposed to be slightly painful or painless. Healthy women generally go through it smoothly and safely. However, some women will experience vulvar itching before menstruation. At this time, you should consider whether the underwear is inappropriate or you are allergic to sanitary napkins, or even the impact of gynecological inflammation. So what is the cause of vulvar itching before menstruation? Let us explain in detail below.

Women's bodies are weaker than usual during menstruation, and if they are not careful at this time, they may get infected. Also, when you are about to have your period, the secretion of leucorrhea may be relatively strong. Excessive leucorrhea may irritate the vulva and cause vulvar itching. Another reason is that you don't pay attention to the hygiene of your genitals. Your genitals may often be stained by urine or menstrual blood, or irritated by sweat when the weather is hot, which may cause itching. It may also be caused by using soap or other things to wash your genitals.

Steps/Methods: 1. Technology is very advanced nowadays, and many women’s mobile phones will indicate when they will have their menstruation. At this time, many women will be prepared and put on sanitary pads first. However, if there is no menstrual blood at this time, they think it’s okay and use a sanitary pad for a long time. This is very wrong, and sanitary pads should be changed frequently.

2 It is best to wear cotton underwear on a daily basis. Although thongs are very popular now and can make women look very sexy, the fabric of thongs can easily wear the skin, which may allow bacteria to invade. Also, underwear should be placed in a sunny place after washing, not in a cool place, as it is easy to breed bacteria.

3. Another thing is to pay attention to your diet. You should not eat spicy food before menstruation, and you should also stop drinking cold drinks, as these are irritating to your body. You should eat more light food, drink more hot soup or porridge, and eat more fruits and vegetables.

Note: Do not have sex a few days before your period. Sexual intercourse is prone to bacterial infection, so if you have vulva itching, you should stop having sex. It is best to wait until the itching is gone after your period.

The above is a detailed explanation of why vulvar itching occurs before menstruation. For female friends, menstruation is a period when the body is relatively weak. During this period, you must not engage in heavy physical activities or catch a cold. If the vulvar itching occurs before menstruation for a long time, you should consider whether there is a serious gynecological problem. At this time, it is recommended that female friends go to the hospital for medical treatment in time to avoid further deterioration of the situation.
