What to do if your lower body itches after removing the ring

Most women will experience vulvar itching after removing the IUD. The main reason for vulvar itching is that women do not pay attention to hygiene and bacterial infection after removing the IUD. So, what should I do if my lower body itches after removing the IUD?

1. What should I do if my vulva itches after IUD removal?

Vulvar itching is mostly located on the clitoris and labia minora. It can also spread to the labia majora, perineum and even around the anus. Long-term scratching may cause scars, scabs or secondary folliculitis.

1. Prevention of vulvar itching

If the itching symptom is severe and accompanied by other symptoms such as abnormal leucorrhea and abdominal pain, it is likely to be an inflammatory infection and you need to go to the hospital's gynecology department in time for corresponding examinations and targeted treatment.

Clothes: Underwear and underwear should be kept clean. Underwear should be soft, loose and wide, and cotton fabrics are preferred. Avoid wearing chemical fiber clothing close to the body.

Food: Pay attention to regulating the stomach and intestines, and eat fresh fruits and beans with light taste and rich in vitamins; avoid stimulating foods such as tobacco, alcohol, chili peppers, strong tea, freshly ground coffee, etc.; maintain smooth bowel movements.

Living: Adjust the room temperature to 16℃~20℃ and the air humidity to 30%~40%. When the air humidity is less than 20%, the indoor air quality is too dry, and dust and other allergens are easy to fly. Therefore, water should be sprinkled on the ground, and an air humidifier can be turned on if conditions permit.

Action: People with sensitive skin should not only reduce exercise as much as possible, but also pay attention to not bathing too frequently and not bathing at too high a temperature, otherwise the sebaceous glands on the skin surface will be washed away, making the skin drier and more prone to itching. In addition, don't scratch when it itches, to prevent the epidermal cells from undergoing proliferative changes and becoming rough and hypertrophic. The result is that the more you scratch, the more itchy it becomes, resulting in a polarized condition.

2. Common problems after removing the IUD
