What are some simple ways to deal with vulvar itching?

The vulva is the part that women need to pay the most attention to, because the vulva is a healthy barrier to the female reproductive organs. The special structure of the vulva can ensure the safety of the vagina and uterus. Once the vulva is attacked by disease, it can easily cause a series of gynecological problems, which will have a great impact on women's lives. For example, vulva itching is a common symptom. Let's take a look at some simple ways to deal with vulva itching.

Vulvar itching is a very common symptom of gynecological diseases. The vulva is a particularly sensitive area. Various gynecological diseases and external stimuli can cause itching, making people unable to sleep or eat, and unable to sit or lie down.

Vulvar itching often occurs on the clitoris and labia minora, and may also affect the labia majora, perineum and perianal area. Most of the attacks are paroxysmal and are usually worse at night. If the itching is severe, skin scratches may be seen.

General treatment

Pay attention to menstrual hygiene, keep the vulva clean and dry, and use Chinese medicine formulas for local fumigation and washing of the vulva. Avoid scratching. Do not wash with hot water and avoid using soap. Clothes, especially underwear, should be loose and breathable. Avoid alcohol and spicy or allergic foods.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that damp heat and yin deficiency and blood dryness are the main causes of female vulvar itching. From the perspective of holistic treatment, the onset of vulvar itching is also closely related to the liver, spleen, kidney and other internal organs in the body, and involves the Ren and Du meridians. Some are caused by damp-heat in the liver meridians and leucorrhea soaking the genitals; some are caused by liver-kidney yin deficiency, loss of essence and blood, and malnutrition of the vulva. Vulvar itching often occurs interchangeably with leucorrhea, and in severe cases, it may also be complicated by vulvar pain.

Treatment of the cause

Eliminate local or systemic factors that cause itching, and use disinfectants to target Trichomonas, fungal infections, etc.
