Three major causes of vulvar itching

Vulvar itching is actually caused by many diseases. This itching disease brings great trouble to many women. The symptoms of this disease appear more frequently during the menstrual period. When the vulvar itching is severe, it will spread to the entire perineum and even around the anus, which seriously affects women's normal life. So, what are the causes of vulvar itching?

1. Trichomoniasis: Itching of the vulva and vagina, foamy leucorrhea, often with a special odor, and eczematous changes of the vulva after scratching. A smear examination of vaginal secretions can be distinguished from the above diseases.

2. Fungal vaginitis: itching of the vulva and vagina, flushing of the vulva, dregs-like leucorrhea with an odor. Scratching may cause eczematous changes of the vulva dermatitis.

3. Pubic lice: Pubic lice often lie on the surface of the skin or on the roots of pubic hair. Pubic lice eggs are grayish white and the size of a pinhead. Pubic lice bites and their venom and excrement can cause itching and scaling of the skin, and can cause eczema-like changes and folliculitis.

4. Pinworm infection: It mainly affects young girls, but adult women can also be infected. When the anus relaxes at night, pinworms crawl out of the rectum and swim to the vulva to mate and lay eggs, irritating the skin and mucous membranes of the vulva, causing local itching.

5. Local skin uncleanness: Some women use toilet paper improperly, and the skin of the vulva is soaked by menstrual blood, vaginal secretions, and even urine, feces and sweat, which causes chronic inflammation of the local skin and causes itching of the vulva.

6. Drug allergy: Women with allergic constitutions may experience "fixed drug eruptions" caused by sulfonamides or other drugs. These eruptions often occur at the junction of the skin and mucous membranes of the vulva. In addition to local itching, they may also be complicated by erosion and exudation. If allergic reactions and contact dermatitis occur when using drugs for vaginal washing or vaginal insertion, vulvar itching may also occur.

Warm reminder: Here we need to remind female friends who suffer from vulvar itching that they must not take medicine casually or scratch with their hands when the disease occurs. What they can do is to go to a professional hospital to consult a doctor in time, find out the cause, and then follow the doctor's instructions for treatment. Only in this way can vulvar itching be completely cured.
