Unexpectedly, there are so many factors that can cause itching in the vulva. In the future, we should pay attention to them
Increased vaginal discharge
The occurrence of this disease is closely related to an increase in vaginal discharge, especially in cases such as vaginitis caused by trichomonas or fungal infections. This type of disease can cause many abnormal vaginal discharge to stimulate the genitals, leading to itching in the external genitalia.
Disinfection drug flushing
Many women often use some disinfectant to clean their external genitalia in order to provide better disinfection. However, such drugs can easily cause irritation and allergic reactions to the external genitalia, leading to dermatitis, itching, and other conditions. Therefore, women must pay attention when choosing such items.
Not cleaning properly during menstruation
During menstruation, if a woman uses a sanitary napkin that is irritating or if her private area is not properly cleaned during menstruation, it can cause menstrual blood or vaginal secretions to accumulate in the external genitalia. This way, the external genitalia is always in a damp and hot environment, which can easily cause itching. In addition, if the breathability of underwear worn during menstruation is not good, it can also cause the disease.
Eczema of external genitalia
If eczema, dermatitis, and other conditions occur in the external genitalia, it not only causes itching in the genital area, but also causes whitening, atrophy, or thickening of the skin in that area.
Alkaline products used
Many women use alkaline soap or potassium permanganate to clean the external genitalia, but the skin on the external genitalia is very dry, with insufficient oil and itching. Such products cannot be used frequently.
Octopus disease
Octopus disease often comes out of the anus, stimulating the position of the external genitalia around the anus and causing itching. This condition is usually very severe at night, and some patients cannot sleep. So to solve the problem of external genital itching, it is necessary to first cure this disease.
