Can I use mugwort to wash my vulva for itching?

There are many types of gynecological diseases, and vulvar itching is a very common disease. There are many reasons for vulvar itching. If you do not pay attention to hygiene in daily life, you are very likely to suffer from gynecological diseases. Once vulvar itching occurs, it has a great impact on women's daily life and needs timely treatment. Mugwort is a very common Chinese herbal medicine, which has the effect of stopping bleeding and relieving pain. Vulvar itching can be washed with mugwort, which also has the effect of removing moisture and relieving itching.

Mugwort has certain anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effects. Using mugwort water to clean vulvar itching can have anti-inflammatory and antipruritic effects. Therefore, if women have symptoms of vulvar itching, they can choose to clean it with mugwort water, but the frequency of cleaning should not be too frequent. Generally, three times a week is sufficient.

Mugwort has local bactericidal and disinfecting effects. Because the substances in mugwort can kill bacteria and disinfect, we can boil the dried mugwort in water and then use it to scrub the body or clean the vulva, which can have an anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effect. In addition, people who often suffer from itchy skin can also use mugwort to boil water for bathing or fumigation, or even use it for foot soaking, all of which can have an anti-itching effect.

In addition, mugwort has the effect of dispelling cold and stopping bleeding, so women with gynecological diseases can also use mugwort water to clean the vulva. Because mugwort itself is a warm tonic medicinal material, mugwort can be eaten or used externally, and it can both have the effect of dispelling cold. Especially in winter when you catch a cold, you can drink some mugwort water, which can remove the cold in your body and prevent colds and fever. In addition, mugwort has the effect of warming the meridians and stopping bleeding, so it is very beneficial for women to drink some mugwort water regularly.

In addition, although mugwort can treat vulvar itching, if women experience vulvar itching, it is generally accompanied by some gynecological diseases. Therefore, at this time, although women can use mugwort water to wash the vulva, it can play a role in treating vulvar itching. But it cannot cure the disease fundamentally. Therefore, if women want to completely stay away from vulvar itching, they still need to treat gynecological diseases first.

What diseases can cause vulvar itching?

1. Bartholinitis

The Bartholin's glands grow at the lower and back sides of the labia majora, opening in the groove between the vaginal opening, labia minora and hymen. Due to the characteristics of the anatomical location, pathogens can easily invade and cause inflammation.

2. Bartholin's gland cyst

If the opening of the gland duct is blocked due to inflammatory congestion and increased secretions, the exudate accumulates in the gland cavity and forms a tumor that protrudes outward - the Bartholin's gland cyst.

When suffering from Bartholinitis, you should stay in bed and rest, and pay attention to keeping the vulva clean.

3. Vulvar ulcer

Vulvar ulcers often occur on the inner side of the labia majora and labia minora, and are more common in middle-aged and young people. The main manifestation is varying degrees of epidermal damage in the vulva, which often recurs and is difficult to cure. If vulvar ulcers occur at the same time as eye inflammation and oral ulcers, it is called eye, mouth, and genital syndrome, which may be accompanied by high fever and local severe pain. Repeated attacks are associated with a poor prognosis. It is also clinically known as Behcet's disease.
