What should I do if I have vaginal itching during menstruation?

Generally speaking, female friends have experienced vaginal itching. Sometimes the symptoms are not very obvious, so it is easy to be ignored by everyone, especially during menstruation. This situation is more common because many people think it is just because the sanitary napkins are covered during menstruation, and this situation does disappear after the menstruation is over. In fact, this is not necessarily just because of the problem of being covered by the sanitary napkins. The following editor will introduce you to vaginal itching.

1. The most common local cause is increased vaginal discharge, especially vaginitis caused by Trichomonas or fungal infection. The large amount of abnormal vaginal discharge irritates the vulva and makes it itchy.

2. If you use disinfectant to rinse the vulva and vagina, or place certain drugs in the vagina, causing vulvar skin allergies or dermatitis, it can also cause vulvar itching.

3. For people suffering from pinworm disease, pinworms often crawl out of the anus and irritate the area around the anus and the vulva, causing itching, especially at night, and even affecting sleep.

4. Some people often use strongly alkaline soaps or solutions to clean the vulva, which causes the vulva skin to become dry, lack of oil and become itchy.

5. Itching symptoms caused by various vulvar skin diseases, such as vulvar eczema, neurodermatitis, atrophic lichen sclerosus, vulvar dermatitis, etc. These diseases can not only cause varying degrees of itching, but also the vulvar skin may have varying degrees of whitening, atrophy or thickening changes.

6. Early symptoms of vulvar cancer also include skin itching.

If we have symptoms of vulvar itching during menstruation, it must be caused by our own hygiene conditions. We should wash the area with warm water, change the dirty sanitary napkins, wear pure cotton and breathable underwear, and try to keep it clean and dry. You can also use the anti-itching wipes in the menstrual care towel series to wipe the vulva, which generally have a good anti-itching effect. This can relieve most of the itching symptoms. In case the itching does not subside and is accompanied by other symptoms and feels abnormal, you should consider that it is caused by an internal disease. At this time, do not hesitate and go to the gynecology department as soon as possible.

After the editor has made these introductions, I believe that everyone will have a certain understanding of vaginal itching, and will not take vaginal itching that occurs during menstruation lightly. So, female friends, please pay attention to this and do not ignore your symptoms just because of how you feel. Do some relevant examinations and receive symptomatic treatment. This will help improve your quality of life and keep you away from the troubles of gynecological diseases.
