What is the cause of vulvar itching and leucorrhea?

Vulvar itching and leucorrhea with curd residue may be caused by vulvovaginal candidiasis.

Vulvovaginal candidiasis is mainly an inflammation of the vulva and vagina caused by Candida species. The main clinical manifestations are vulvar pruritus and itching. The symptoms vary from mild to severe and the attacks are irregular. In addition, there are also symptoms such as abnormal leucorrhea, such as curd-like leucorrhea, and painful urination to varying degrees, which seriously affect women's physical and mental health.

Candida usually grows easily in a moist and warm environment. If you do not pay attention to personal hygiene and use antibiotics, immunosuppressants or estrogen for a long time, this may increase the incidence of vulvovaginal Candida, and then cause discomfort. At the same time, bad eating habits, eating spicy food, having sex too frequently or having multiple abortions may increase the risk of infection and need to be taken seriously.

Note: In order to clarify the specific cause, it is recommended to seek medical attention for gynecological examination in time and receive treatment according to the doctor's instructions. In daily life, you should also pay attention to personal hygiene, keep the vulva clean and dry, avoid unclean sexual life, and strengthen exercise to enhance your body's resistance.
