What if I find vulva itching after menstruation?

Vulvar itching after menstruation may be caused by vulvitis, vulvar eczema, vulvar folliculitis and other factors, and can be treated accordingly according to the specific cause.

1. Vulvitis:

If you do not pay attention to the care of the genital area, it is easy to cause bacteria to multiply, leading to inflammatory reactions of the vulvar skin and mucous membranes. Inflammatory stimulation can cause symptoms such as vulvar itching and burning. Patients can use metronidazole tablets, clindamycin hydrochloride gel, fluconazole capsules and other drugs for treatment according to the doctor's advice.

2. Vulvar eczema:

If the sanitary napkins used are of relatively poor quality, they will irritate the skin of the vulva, causing vulvar eczema, leading to damage to the skin surface and superficial dermis, and the affected area usually has symptoms such as rash, itching, and swelling. Patients can use tacrolimus ointment, hydrocortisone butyrate ointment, loratadine capsules and other drugs for treatment according to the doctor's advice.

3. Vulvar folliculitis:

Vulvar folliculitis is mainly caused by various bacterial infections, which can damage the hair follicle structure. The affected area usually has symptoms such as papules and pustules, accompanied by itching, pain, etc. Patients can use adapalene gel, vitamin A acid ointment, mupirocin ointment and other drugs for treatment according to the doctor's advice.

In addition to the above reasons, it may also be caused by factors such as vaginitis. During the disease, you should avoid eating spicy and irritating foods, such as pepper and mustard, which are not conducive to the recovery of the disease and may also cause the disease to worsen.
