How to effectively prevent vulvar itching

The prevention of vulvar itching is of great concern to many women. It is known as a common gynecological disease. Although the harm it brings to women is not fatal, it is indeed very torturous and even affects women's normal life. Therefore, everyone is very concerned about the prevention of vulvar itching. Next, I will give you a detailed introduction.

Vulvar itching is mostly located on the clitoris and labia minora. It can also affect the labia majora, perineum and even perianal skin lesions. It is often paroxysmal or continuous, and is usually aggravated at night. Unexplained vulvar itching generally only occurs in women of childbearing age or after menopause, and often affects the entire vulva, but may also be limited to a certain part or one side of the vulva. Although the itching is very severe and even unbearable, the local skin and mucous membranes appear normal, or there are only scratches due to excessive scratching. The main symptom is the presence of nodules in the vulva, often accompanied by pain and itching. Most patients first have long-term vulvar itching, and many years later, local papules, nodules or small ulcers appear, which do not heal for a long time. Some patients are accompanied by vulvar leukoplakia. When the tumor is adjacent to or invades the urethra, frequent urination, painful urination, burning sensation during urination and difficulty urinating may occur.

The prevention of vulvar itching is a long process, and only long-term persistence can be effective. The following are the basic necessities for the prevention and treatment of vulvar itching:

Clothes: Underwear and underwear should be kept clean. Underwear should be soft, loose and wide, preferably made of cotton. Avoid wearing synthetic clothing close to the body.

Food: Pay attention to adjusting gastrointestinal function, preferably light, vitamin-rich fresh vegetables and soy products; avoid irritating foods such as tobacco, alcohol, chili, strong tea, coffee, etc.; keep the bowels open.

Living: Adjust the indoor temperature to 16 to 20 degrees Celsius and the relative humidity to 30 to 40 percent. When the relative humidity is lower than 20 percent, the indoor air is too dry and dust and other allergens are easy to fly. Therefore, water should be sprinkled on the ground and a humidifier can be used if conditions permit.

Action: People with sensitive skin should not only reduce their activities appropriately, but also pay attention to not taking baths too frequently and not taking baths at too high a temperature, otherwise the sebum on the skin surface will be washed away, making the skin drier and more prone to itching. After bathing, you can apply 30 to 50 percent glycerin on the body surface. In addition, do not scratch randomly when itching occurs, in order to prevent the epidermal cells from proliferating and becoming rough and thick. The result is that the more you scratch, the more it itches, forming a vicious cycle.

In addition, the diet should also be arranged reasonably. For example, kelp, pork liver, milk and eggs should be eaten every day to effectively prevent vulvar itching.

The prevention of vulvar itching must start with daily chores and must be persisted for a long time. Female friends are reminded not to be half-hearted and indecisive in the process of preventing vulvar itching, as this may have counterproductive effects. Finally, we hope that everyone will actively go to professional tertiary hospitals to treat this disease.
