How to prevent vulvar itching

Vulvar itching is mostly caused by the lack of hygiene in private parts and the presence of many bacteria. Vulvar itching not only makes women feel uncomfortable, but may also develop into serious inflammation, seriously affecting the health of women. So what should women do if they want to prevent vulvar itching?

1. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva. You should equip yourself with a dedicated cleaning tool. First, put a small square towel in a basin of water and boil it for 15 minutes. Let it cool before use. When you clean your vulva by yourself, it is best to cut your nails short and wash your hands. After cleaning your vulva, you need to dry the cleaning tool in a ventilated place.

2. Ensure that your underwear is clean and hygienic. Choose loose, cotton underwear and avoid wearing synthetic fiber items close to your body.

3. In daily life, your personal items, such as clothes, bed sheets, and quilts, should be used and washed separately to prevent transmission within the family. In particular, baby girls or girls should be protected from infection because children have weaker resistance and are easily infected with bacteria, leading to vulvar itching.

4. Pay special attention to diet and adjust gastrointestinal function. It is best to eat light, vitamin-rich fresh vegetables and soy products; avoid irritating foods such as tobacco, alcohol, chili, strong tea, coffee, etc.; keep the bowels open.

5. If your skin is itchy, try not to scratch it. For those with skin allergies, you should reduce your activities appropriately. You should also pay special attention to not taking a bath too often and the water temperature should not be too high to prevent the sebum on the skin surface from being washed away, making the skin dry and causing itching.

6. It is strictly forbidden to abuse hormone drugs. There are many reasons for vulvar itching. If female friends abuse drugs, it will not only be detrimental to the treatment of the disease, but also cause greater harm to the body. It is recommended that female friends go to a professional hospital for examination and treatment in time.

7. Avoid repeatedly washing the vulva. Many patients with vulvar itching are caused by not paying attention to hygiene. Therefore, female friends will choose to use some soap or detergent to wash. However, if a large amount of detergent or soap is used to wash the vulva, it will destroy the pH balance of the vulva and make the vulva lose its self-protection ability. It will not only aggravate the itching symptoms, but also easily be infected with bacteria.
