What causes vaginal itching?

The vaginal environment of women is very susceptible to stimulation from external factors. When the vaginal environment changes, problems such as vaginal itching and vaginal odor will follow. Many women cannot stand vaginal itching and often like to scratch it with their hands, but the more they scratch, the more itchy it becomes and it may cause vaginal skin breakage. Understanding the causes of vaginal itching is of unique significance for the treatment of vaginal itching, so what are the factors?

(1) Special infections

Vaginal candidiasis and Trichomonas vaginitis are the most common causes of vulvar itching. Lice and scabies can also cause itching. The itching around the anus and vulva of young girls caused by enterobiasis usually only occurs at night.

(2) Chronic vulvar dystrophy is characterized by severe itching, accompanied by pale vulvar skin.

(3) Drug allergy or chemical irritation: Soap, condoms, chlorpromazine, mercurochrome, etc. can cause contact dermatitis due to direct irritation or allergy, resulting in itching symptoms. "Fixed drug rash" caused by taking drugs in women with allergic constitution often occurs at the junction of the skin and mucous membrane of the vulva. In addition to local itching, it may be complicated by erosion and exudation. Vulvar itching may also occur if allergic reactions and contact dermatitis occur when using drugs for vaginal washing or vaginal insertion.

(4) Bad hygiene habits

If you do not pay attention to the local cleaning of the vulva, sebum, sweat, menstruation, vaginal secretions, and even urine and feces will stimulate the vulva for a long time and cause itching: using rubber or plastic menstrual belts during menstruation and wearing non-breathable chemical fiber underwear at other times can induce itching due to the accumulation of damp heat. When cleaning the vulva every day, it is more appropriate to use Ph4 Jiaoyan weak acid formula female care liquid.

(5) Other skin lesions, abrasions, common warts, herpes, eczema, and tumors can all cause vulvar itching.

Now everyone should know the causes of vaginal itching. Careful observation will reveal that vaginal itching can be improved as long as more attention is paid to details in daily life. Therefore, the editor recommends that women pay more attention to hygiene in daily life. If the vagina is already infected, it is best to take a shower to clean it.
