What are the causes of vulvar itching?

Vulvar itching is caused by Trichomonas vaginitis, bacterial vaginitis, atrophic vaginitis, etc., as follows:

1. Trichomonas vaginitis:

The occurrence of trichomonas vaginitis is usually caused by long-term access to public swimming pools or long-term use of public toilets. After becoming ill, Trichomonas will invade the body, causing symptoms such as increased vaginal discharge and itching. Drugs such as metronidazole suppositories, tinidazole suppositories, and clotrimazole suppositories can be used for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

2. Bacterial vaginosis:

Bacterial vaginitis is usually caused by factors such as frequent vaginal washing with lotions and multiple sexual partners. After the disease occurs, the vaginal environment changes, allowing bacteria to multiply. The discharge is grayish white, has a peculiar smell, and is accompanied by symptoms such as itching and burning. Drugs such as metronidazole tablets, tinidazole tablets, and ornidazole tablets can be used for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

3. Atrophic vaginitis:

Atrophic vaginitis is usually related to age, decreased immunity and other factors. Due to the decrease in estrogen levels in the body and the decreased defense ability of the vaginal mucosa, bacteria can easily invade and cause inflammation, leading to symptoms such as vaginal surface ulcers, itching, pain, burning discomfort, vaginal dryness, etc. It can be treated with drugs such as estriol cream, clotrimazole vaginal tablets, metronidazole gel, etc. under the guidance of a doctor.

In addition to the above reasons, it may also be caused by diseases such as vulvovaginal candidiasis, which requires timely treatment.
