The appearance of vulvitis is particularly troublesome for many women. That is a common gynecological disease, but we should also pay attention to it in daily life and actively and reasonably prevent it.
Causes of vulvitis
1. Local skin uncleanness: The external genitalia skin is soaked in menstrual blood, vaginal secretions, urine, feces, and sweat, causing chronic inflammation of the local skin and causing external genitalitis.
2. Fungal vaginitis: itching of the external genitalia and vagina, redness of the external genitalia, bean residue like leukorrhea, unpleasant odor, and eczematous changes after scraping of the external genitalia. So if a woman experiences symptoms such as itching, it is important to avoid scratching and seek medical attention in a timely manner.
3. Sexual allergies: The main causes include allergies to semen, condoms, and friction.
4. Trichomoniasis vaginalis: vulva, vaginal pruritus, foam like leucorrhea, special odor, the same eczematic changes of vulva dermatitis after scratching.
5. Sexually transmitted diseases: Genital warts often occur in the vaginal wall, cervical opening, and vulva of women. Infectious warts with foul smelling vaginal discharge that occur in the vulva often occur in circular papules with central umbilical cord like depressions, and can also cause vulvar inflammation.
6. Drug allergy: Fixed type drug rash caused by the use of sulfonamides or other drugs in women with allergic constitution, often occurring at the boundary of the skin and mucosa of the external genitalia. In addition to local itching, it can also be accompanied by erosion and exudation.
7. Improper clothing: Women's choice of clothing is also important, often wearing chemical fiber underwear, using hygiene products without strict disinfection standards, etc. Women's external genitalia skin has poor ventilation, is prone to itching, and ultimately develops external genitalitis.
Prevention of vulvitis
1. The correct method for cleaning the external genitalia: to prevent vulvitis, women should clean the external genitalia every day, change their pants, and use towels exclusively. After cleaning and changing the towels and pants every day, heat or boil them with hot water for more than 30 minutes, remove them and expose them, and dry them in the shade
2. Pay attention to personal hygiene: keep the external genitalia clean and dry, replace underwear, use specialized tools for external genitalia, and use hot water to wash underwear, towels, and bowls. Of course, remember to urge your husband to also pay attention to hygiene.
3. Cannot blindly use washing liquids and drugs: Use drugs to treat vulvar inflammation, but this type of patient lacks hygiene knowledge and believes that long-term drug washing of the vulva is health care, no longer suffering from vulvitis, and long-term drug stimulation of the skin makes the vulva even more uncomfortable.
