What is wrong with vulvar itching during pregnancy? What should I do?

Vulvar itching during pregnancy is caused by local adverse factors, vaginitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc. Generally speaking, it can be improved by strengthening life care, external medications and taking medicines, which can effectively control the disease.

1. Local adverse factors stimulation:

Due to sensitive skin during pregnancy, increased hormone levels and pelvic congestion, cervical and vaginal secretions, if the clothing material is hard and breathable, local vaginal sweat and urine will increase, irritating the pregnant woman's vagina and causing vulvar itching. The vulva should usually be kept clean and dry, avoid cleaning the vulva with soapy water, and choose some loose and breathable underwear.

2. Local manifestations of systemic itching symptoms:

If a woman suffers from bile duct congestion during pregnancy, this condition will cause increased bilirubin in the body. Elevated bilirubin will stimulate subcutaneous nerves and inflammatory factors, promote the release of local inflammatory factors and cause skin itching, accompanied by vulvar itching and systemic itching symptoms. External use of mometasone furoate ointment, urea vitamin E ointment, halometasone ointment and other medications may be recommended for treatment.

3. Vaginitis:

It may be due to poor resistance during pregnancy and imbalance of vaginal flora, which leads to increased vaginal secretions and irritation of vulvar itching. Clotrimazole cream, nystatin vaginal suppository, metronidazole suppository and other drugs can be used externally under the guidance of a doctor.

In addition to the common causes mentioned above, there may also be other causes such as genital warts. Targeted treatment can be carried out after the doctor identifies the cause.
