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.

2. Systemic diseases. Systemic diseases mainly include diabetes, anemia, leukemia, polycythemia, skin diseases, hepatobiliary diseases (such as jaundice), kidney diseases, lymphoma, etc. In addition to general itching, vulvar itching is often accompanied.
