Why does vulva itch?

Do you feel that your vagina is always itchy, and there is a burning sensation when you scratch it? In fact, this phenomenon is a common clinical symptom of gynecological diseases, vulvar itching. So how did this disease come about? What causes vulvar itching? Let me introduce it to you below.

What causes vaginal itching? Here are some specific reasons:

1. Bad hygiene habits.

(1) Failure to pay attention to the local cleanliness of the vulva may lead to long-term irritation of the vulva by sebum, sweat, menstruation, vaginal secretions, and even urine and feces.

(2) Using rubber or plastic menstrual belts during menstruation and wearing non-breathable chemical fiber underwear at other times can also cause vaginal itching.

2. Drug allergy or chemical crystal stimulation. Some women use soap, chlorhexidine, mercurochrome, etc., which may be caused by direct stimulation or allergy.

3. Disease infection factors.

(1) Trichomonas infection or fungal infection is the most common cause of vulvar itching.

(2) When suffering from Trichomonas vaginitis, bacterial vaginitis, or cervical erosion, the amount of vaginal discharge increases significantly. The inflammatory secretions irritate the vulvar skin and mucous membranes, causing itching.

4. Local vulvar lesions lead to itching. Vulvar skin diseases such as (vulvar eczema, neurodermatitis, chronic vulvar malnutrition, vulvar tumors) can all be the cause of vulvar itching.

5. Cleaning too frequently: Washing the vulva several times a day, or washing the vulva with potassium permanganate water, will make the vulva skin too dry and cause itching.

Through the above introduction, everyone knows that vulvar itching not only brings pain to the body, but also induces other diseases if not treated in time, so vulvar itching must be treated. The above-mentioned causes of vulvar itching can help everyone treat vulvar itching fundamentally. Finally, I wish you a speedy recovery!
