Causes of female vulvar pruritus

Vulvar itching in women is often caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, environmental changes, and physiological changes, which require a comprehensive understanding to find the right solution. Genetic factors may make some women more susceptible to vulvar itching, and family history may increase the risk. Environmental factors such as moisture, chemical irritation, or improper use of hygiene products may also cause itching, especially non-breathable clothing or detergents containing harsh chemicals. Physiological factors such as hormonal changes, immune system abnormalities, or internal diseases such as diabetes may interfere with skin health and induce vulvar itching.

To treat vulvar itching, the cause must be determined first and the appropriate method should be used according to the situation. Medical treatment may include topical steroid ointments to reduce skin inflammation; antifungal drugs if the itching is caused by a yeast infection; and antihistamines for itching caused by allergies. For mild discomfort, local washing with warm water, avoiding irritants, and wearing breathable cotton clothing can be used. If symptoms persist or worsen, you should see a doctor in time and undergo necessary medical examinations to rule out potential serious health problems.

To prevent vulvar itching, you should pay attention to daily hygiene and healthy living habits, including a balanced diet and moderate exercise to enhance immune function. In daily life, you can choose to use mild and non-irritating care products, keep the vulva clean and dry, and try to avoid wearing tight clothing for a long time. A healthy lifestyle not only helps reduce the occurrence of vulvar itching, but also contributes to overall health and reduces the risk of related complications. If itching occurs frequently or is difficult to relieve, it is recommended to seek help from medical professionals for targeted treatment.
