How to treat vulvar itching in women

Experts from gynecological hospitals pointed out that vulvitis is an inflammatory lesion of the skin or mucous membrane of the vulva, such as redness, swelling, pain, itching, erosion, etc. There are two types of vulvitis: specific and non-specific infections. The itching of the anus, labia, and scrotum is collectively referred to as vulvar itch. There are many pathogens that cause vulvar itch, such as pinworms, trichomonas, scabies, fungi, and bacteria. At present, more vulvar itch has nothing to do with these microorganisms, but is a chronic dermatitis or eczema caused by long-term stimulation of physical, chemical and other factors.

Some people mistakenly believe that the vulva is a dirty place, and wash it with soap, hot water, salt water, cleaning liquid or disinfectant every night. In fact, the vulva is no dirtier than the mouth and nose. Excessive cleaning and disinfection will cause the vulva's flora imbalance, local inflammation, make itching worse, and even cause perianal inflammation, cystitis, retrograde pyelonephritis, etc.

To cure stubborn vulvar itching, first stop all scalding and washing measures, and secondly stop taking all medications. O3 flushing is used in the outpatient department of gynecological hospitals to treat vulvar itching. O3 flushing is to electrolyze oxygen in pure water to produce ozone and a variety of active ingredients, among which ozone can kill bacteria, chlamydia, mycoplasma, viruses and other microorganisms, and can also improve local resistance without drug resistance. Its active ingredients can promote epithelial cell growth and wound healing, and also have analgesic and antipruritic effects.

Experts from gynecological hospitals remind patients that during treatment, they should pay attention to keeping the vulva clean and dry, especially during menstruation, pregnancy and postpartum period. They should wash the vulva and change underwear every day. They should not wear synthetic underwear or tights, but wear cotton underwear. They should cut their nails and wash their hands frequently, and avoid scratching their skin to prevent ulcer infection and secondary bacterial infection. They should not use irritating soaps, medicines or water that is too cold or too hot to clean the vulva.
