What disease causes vaginal itching? Is vaginal itching caused by Trichomonas vaginalis infection?

The symptoms of vaginal itching are very common, and there are many reasons for this symptom. For example, irritation from secretions, chronic vulvar malnutrition, mental factors, vaginal Trichomonas infection, fungal infection, vulvar skin allergies, etc. Patients should find out the cause according to their actual situation and then treat it symptomatically. Many women have experienced symptoms of vaginal itching. Because the area is relatively private, it is inconvenient to scratch and it is easy to cause embarrassment, which has a great impact on women's work and life. Severe itching can even make women restless and very painful. So, what disease causes vaginal itching?

1. Vaginal itching caused by secretion stimulation is not always caused by disease. The special physiological structure of women determines that the female vagina is easily stimulated by external stimuli. For example, sweat, urine and secretions from the anus may stimulate the vaginal opening, causing itching symptoms. In this case, women should pay attention to the cleaning of the vulva and wash the anus and vulva after defecation to prevent vaginal itching.

2. Chronic vulvar malnutrition . Due to endocrine disorders, genetic factors, or the influence of diseases such as diabetes and vitiligo, many women will experience chronic vulvar malnutrition, which is manifested as white spots on the vulvar skin and accompanied by itching. This situation often occurs in middle-aged women or postmenopausal women.

3. Caused by mental factors: Some women do not have obvious lesions, but always have symptoms of vaginal itching. This may be caused by mental stress and is a mental symptom.

4. If the acidity of the female vaginal mucosa is reduced due to Trichomonas infection , the production of lactic acid will be reduced, which will cause Trichomonas infection and lead to itching symptoms at the vaginal opening. The itching caused by this reason is generally accompanied by foamy leucorrhea. Once discovered, it should be treated in time.

5. Fungal infection . Some women are prone to fungal infection due to long-term use of antibiotics or diabetes, which can cause vaginal itching. This is usually accompanied by tofu-like leucorrhea.

6. Skin allergies causing urticaria, drug rash and other allergic skin diseases can also cause symptoms of vaginal itching. In addition, long-term use of irritating soaps and various lotions may also cause vulvar skin allergies and lead to vaginal itching.

7. Local irritation: Due to the stimulation of various inflammations, women's vaginal secretions increase. These secretions will affect the balance of vaginal flora, causing local inflammation and leading to itching of the vaginal opening.
