What to use to clean vulva itching

Vulvar itching may be caused by a variety of reasons, including bad hygiene habits, infection, allergic reactions, improper menstrual care and chronic diseases. Different reasons require different treatment methods and medications. It is recommended to seek medical attention in time and take medication under the guidance of a doctor. The details are as follows:

1. Hygiene habits: Bad hygiene habits are one of the common causes of vulvar itching. Use warm water to wash the vulva every day, and avoid using soap or other irritating cleansers, which may disrupt the natural acid-base balance of the vulva and cause itching. If you need to use a cleanser, it is recommended to choose a mild product designed for women. Keep the vulva dry on a daily basis, wear breathable underwear, and avoid tight clothing to reduce friction and irritation.

2. Infection: Bacterial, fungal or viral infection is an important cause of vulvar itching. Common ones such as bacterial vaginosis and vulvovaginal candidiasis (commonly known as candidal vaginitis) can cause itching and discomfort. For bacterial infection, you can use Kangfu anti-inflammatory suppository or chlorhexidine solution for cleaning under the guidance of a doctor; for fungal infection, you can use clotrimazole vaginal tablets or nystatin vaginal suppository; for viral infection, such as herpes simplex virus infection, antiviral drugs should be used under the guidance of a doctor. Patients must use drugs according to the doctor's instructions and avoid self-medication.

3. Allergic reaction: Allergies to certain detergents, sanitary products or underwear materials can also cause vulvar itching. In this case, you should immediately stop using the suspected allergen and choose mild products without fragrances or additives. You can use warm water to wash and keep the vulva dry. If the symptoms do not improve, you should seek medical attention in time. The doctor may recommend the use of anti-allergic drugs such as loratadine tablets.

4. Improper care during menstruation: Improper care during menstruation, such as not changing sanitary napkins frequently or using inappropriate materials, may cause vulvar itching. It is recommended to use high-quality, breathable sanitary napkins during menstruation, keep the vulva dry, and change sanitary products frequently. Avoid using detergents during menstruation, and only need to wash with warm water. If severe discomfort occurs, consult in time to eliminate the possibility of infection.

5. Chronic diseases: Chronic diseases such as diabetes can affect the health of the vulva and cause itching. Diabetic patients are prone to vulvar itching due to poor blood sugar control. For such patients, controlling blood sugar is the key, and antifungal drugs such as nystatin vaginal suppositories can be used for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

Patients should pay attention to their daily diet and routine, and monitor their blood sugar levels regularly. In daily life, pay attention to vulvar hygiene, choose mild cleaning products, and keep the vulva dry and breathable to help prevent vulvar itching. If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention in time and follow the doctor's advice for treatment and care. It is recommended to consult an obstetrician and gynecologist to obtain professional diagnosis and treatment advice.
