What causes vulvar itching after pregnancy?

Vulvar itching after pregnancy may be caused by bad living habits, gestational diabetes, Candida infection, etc. If it is serious, you can go to the hospital for examination and then symptomatic treatment.

1. Bad living habits: During pregnancy, if women have bad living habits, such as sitting for a long time or not exercising for a long time, it will cause the air permeability of the vulva to decrease. At the same time, if they do not pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva, it is likely to cause bacterial infection and cause vulvar itching. In normal times, you should maintain good living habits, and you can also use potassium permanganate for cleaning.

2. Gestational diabetes: If a pregnant woman suffers from gestational diabetes during pregnancy, the stimulation of urine sugar will cause itching symptoms of the vulva. You can go to the hospital for examination. If it is caused by gestational diabetes, you can inject insulin under the guidance of a doctor to control blood sugar. After blood sugar is controlled, the symptoms of vulvar itching can be improved.

3. Candida infection: After pregnancy, the estrogen level in the body will gradually increase, leading to an increase in vaginal mucosal glycogen, which can easily cause Candida infection and symptoms of vulvar itching. You can use clotrimazole tablets, compound nystatin suppositories, fluconazole tablets and other drugs for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
