Causes of vaginal itching at night

Many women feel itchy in their vagina when they sleep at night. The vagina is a private part of women. If the private part of women always feels itchy and uncomfortable, and there is a lot of secretion, then for women, such symptoms may bring many consequences and burdens to themselves. Vaginal itching is very uncomfortable and it is difficult to scratch. So what is the reason for vaginal itching when sleeping at night?

1. Trichomonas vaginitis: Itching of the vulva and vagina, foamy leucorrhea, often accompanied by a special odor, and scratching can also cause eczematous changes in the vulva dermatitis. This condition can be distinguished from the bacterial vaginitis mentioned above by going to the hospital for a vaginal secretion smear test.

2. Bacterial vaginitis: vulvar or vaginal itching, vulvar flushing, leucorrhea that is like bean curd residue and has an odor. Scratching can cause eczematous changes of vulvar dermatitis.

3. Pinworm infection: Pinworms mainly attack young girls. Of course, adult women are also at risk of infection. When the anus relaxes at night, pinworms crawl out of the rectum and swim to the vulva to mate and lay eggs, irritating the skin and mucous membranes of the vulva, causing local itching.

4. Pubic lice: Pubic lice often stick to the skin surface or attach to the roots of pubic hair. Pubic lice eggs are grayish white and the size of a needle. The bites of pubic lice and their venom and excrement can cause itching and even desquamation of the pubic skin, which can lead to eczema-like changes and folliculitis.

5. Local skin uncleanness: Some women do not maintain reasonable hygiene habits. For example, improper use of toilet paper will cause increased menstrual blood and vaginal secretions in the vulva skin, leading to vaginal itching. At the same time, if women do not wipe clean after using the toilet, the immersion of urine, feces and even sweat can cause chronic inflammation of the local skin of the vagina, thereby causing itching of the vulva. Therefore, maintaining good hygiene habits is very important for vaginal cleanliness.

Women who sit in the office for a long time and do not move often are very likely to experience symptoms of vulvar itching. Sitting in a chair for a long time without moving will make the vulva stuffy, especially in chairs with very soft cushions.

If the skin of a woman's vulva is not very clean, it will also irritate the vulva and make it itchy and unbearable. If the vulvar skin is irritated by menstrual blood, or urine, feces, sweat stains, etc. that are not wiped clean, it will cause chronic inflammation and itching of the vulvar skin.

Many women will experience vulvar itching when the weather is dry, which is often manifested as persistent or paroxysmal itching, and often worsens at night. The itching often occurs around the labia majora and minora and in the clitoris, affecting sleep.

The reasons introduced above are about the reasons why women experience vaginal itching when they sleep at night. Women must take good care of their local hygiene and care in their lives. They must keep their vagina clean and hygienic. If they have sex, they must pay attention to the hygiene of both parties. If it is a gynecological disease, then it must be treated in time. If it is an inflammatory infection, then it is necessary to take anti-inflammatory measures to eliminate bacteria in time, and eat more light food.
