Is it okay to take anti-inflammatory drugs for vulvar itching?

Women's sexual organs are external organs and are wrapped in underwear for a long time. They are a dark and humid environment that many bacteria like very much. If you do not pay attention to the cleanliness of your private parts, you often face the risk of gynecological diseases. Many women have experienced vulvar itching, which may be caused by many reasons. It is necessary to seek medical attention in time to determine the cause. So when a woman's vulva becomes itchy, can she take anti-inflammatory drugs to relieve the symptoms?

Whether you can take anti-inflammatory drugs for vulvar itching depends on the situation. If the vulvar itching is caused by fungal or bacterial infection, the patient can use anti-inflammatory drugs for treatment. However, as to which anti-inflammatory drug to use, the patient should ask a gynecologist to do a professional examination and then prescribe the appropriate anti-inflammatory drug. Never buy medicine on your own.

There are generally many reasons for vulvar itching. Some are caused by the patients' lack of attention to hygiene in their daily lives. Some are caused by the patients' excessive cleaning of the vagina, which destroys the acidity and alkalinity of the vagina. Some patients suffer from vaginitis, such as fungus and bacterial vaginitis. Some patients do not pay attention to hygiene during sexual life, which leads to bacterial invasion and causes vulvar itching. Patients should first understand the cause of their vulvar itching so that they can prescribe the right medicine according to their condition.

In fact, patients can prevent vulvar itching in normal times. During menstruation, they should change sanitary napkins more often to keep the vulva dry and breathable. They should wear pure cotton underwear as much as possible and change underwear frequently. It is best to disinfect the underwear with boiling water every day. Friends who have sexual lives should remember to wash their underwear after intercourse to avoid bacterial invasion and drug-induced vulvar itching. Also, if you do not plan to have children, you must take contraceptive measures to avoid accidental pregnancy and abortion, which may lead to inflammation and infection causing vulvar itching.

If patients can take these preventive measures to prevent vulvar itching in their daily lives, get enough sleep and rest, maintain a happy mood, and avoid overeating, vulvar itching will be less likely to recur, and vulvar itching can be slowly cured.
