Why is my lower body itchy?

Women are most likely to develop gynecological diseases. This is because women need to experience a small amount of vaginal secretions every day, and the process of urinating will be close to the vaginal opening and urethral opening. In addition, some people often have hygiene problems during menstruation and leucorrhea, which will cause itching in the lower body over time. What should be done in this situation?

The main causes of vaginal and vulvar itching are:

(1) Infectious diseases. The most common are trichomonas or fungal infections. In addition, pubic lice, pubic scabies and some sexually transmitted diseases can also cause vulvar itching.

(2) Local lesions of the vulva. Vulvar eczema, neurodermatitis, chronic vulvar dystrophy, vulvar tumors, etc. can all cause vulvar itching.

(3) Bad hygiene habits. Failure to pay attention to cleaning the vulva may cause vaginal secretions or menstrual blood to accumulate in the vulva, which may cause itching. On the contrary, washing the vulva several times a day, or frequently using strong alkaline soaps, or washing the vulva with potassium permanganate water will make the vulva skin too dry and cause vulva itching.

(4) Inappropriate clothing. Often wear some synthetic fiber clothes, etc. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a gynecological examination, check the routine leucorrhea, etc., to determine the cause and receive symptomatic treatment. The key is to pay more attention in daily life. It is best to wear loose cotton underwear, change underwear frequently, and wash the vulva with warm water every day, preferably by showering.
