Itchy vagina after menstruation

Itchy vagina after menstruation

Itching of the genitals after menstruation is caused by inadequate local hygiene, allergies, fungal vaginitis, etc. Generally, it can be improved by strengthening daily care and external medications to relieve the discomfort.

1. Local hygiene cleaning is not in place:

It may be that women do not pay attention to the hygiene of the vaginal area during menstruation. The vaginal environment changes after menstruation, causing local accumulation of blood or leucorrhea, leading to inflammation and itching symptoms. Women should strengthen vaginal care, change underwear frequently. The underwear fabric should be soft and breathable, and the vaginal area should also be cleaned regularly.

2. Allergy:

Considering that women use sanitary napkins or pads during menstruation, but some women are allergic to underwear or undergarments, and allergic to the skin, which causes local vaginal itching, and severe patients are also accompanied by local herpes and other symptoms. Patients can use desonide cream, mometasone furoate cream, compound dexamethasone acetate cream and other drugs for local application under the guidance of a doctor.

3. Fungal vaginitis:

It may be that the women who went in often wore some tight synthetic underwear, and the local temperature and humidity of the vulva increased during menstruation. When the local immunity of the vagina decreases, it will cause a large number of Candida to multiply, causing an inflammatory reaction, and the patient will show obvious itching and burning sensation. In severe cases, they will be restless and affect work and sleep. Patients can use drugs such as miconazole nitrate suppositories, nystatin vaginal suppositories, and clotrimazole suppositories under the guidance of a doctor.

In addition to the common causes mentioned above, it may also be caused by genital warts and other reasons. Targeted treatment can be carried out after the cause is identified.
