What should I do if my vulva is itchy the day before my period?

The day before menstruation, vulvar itching may be caused by factors such as secretion irritation, vulvitis, vulvovaginal candidiasis, etc., which can be treated by paying attention to hygiene, oral medication, etc.

1. Secretion stimulation:

Generally, before menstruation, as the hormones in women's bodies increase, their secretions will increase. If the patient does not pay attention to local hygiene, the secretions will irritate the local skin, usually causing vulvar itching. If there are no other symptoms, no special treatment is required. Paying attention to personal hygiene and changing underwear frequently can relieve the symptoms.

2. Vulvitis:

It may be caused by physical and chemical stimulation, which can easily cause vulvar inflammation. Patients usually show symptoms such as vulvar redness, swelling, fever, itching, etc. Patients can use drugs such as mycin tablets, itraconazole capsules, and fluconazole capsules under the guidance of a doctor.

3. Vulvovaginal Candida infection:

It may be because the patient does not pay attention to local hygiene, leading to Candida infection. When the pathogen invades, it will invade the tissues around the vagina and cause vaginal inflammation, mainly manifested by vulvar itching, burning pain, increased vaginal discharge and other symptoms. Patients can be treated with drugs such as clotrimazole vaginal tablets, miconazole nitrate suppositories, nitrofuratel nystatin vaginal soft capsules, etc. under the guidance of a doctor.

In addition to the common causes mentioned above, it may also be caused by Trichomonas vaginitis. Patients are advised to receive standardized treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
