What is the best medicine for vulvar erosion?

Vulvar erosion is caused by serious infections of various bacteria and fungi. General vulvar inflammation, vulvar redness and swelling, etc., if not treated in time, will turn into erosion after a period of time, emitting an unpleasant odor, seriously affecting the patient's normal life. So, how should we choose medications and related changes after discovering vulvar erosion? Let me explain the relevant knowledge in detail below.

Vulvar erosion is an inflammatory lesion of the skin or mucous membrane of the vulva, such as vulvar redness, vulvar swelling, vulvar pain, and vulvar itching. Vulvar erosion is divided into two types: specific and nonspecific.

Specific vulvar erosions are mainly caused by fungal and Trichomonas infections; non-specific vulvar erosions are mainly caused by Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Streptococcus infections. Nonspecific vulvar erosion infection is more common.

People suffering from vulvar erosion will feel itching in the vulva. In severe cases, they will feel restless day and night, which will affect their work and life, and they will be very painful. This disease often occurs in women over 45 years old. Vulvar erosion can be mild or severe, and it often gets worse at night. It is mostly located near the clitoris and labia minora, and in severe cases it can spread to the entire vulva and around the anus. Due to long-term itching, the skin of the vulva will become thicker due to friction and become over-keratinized and grayish white. Frequent scratching may also cause skin damage, leading to secondary infection.

Vulvar erosion can also be secondary to other local or systemic diseases, such as cervicitis, vaginitis, cervical cancer, etc. The stimulation of increased secretions, or excessive and prolonged menstrual blood and lochia can cause varying degrees of inflammation. Other factors such as immersion in menstrual paper or towels, irritation from feces in patients with urinary fistula or fecal fistula, irritation from diabetes in patients with diabetes, etc. may even lead to vulvitis. After discovering vulvar erosion, female friends should pay special attention to disinfecting the vulva, clothing, daily sanitary ware, and bedding. You can use diluted sanitary detergent such as Chlorhexidine to soak and wipe the area to eliminate the infection route of vulvar erosion. In addition, follow the doctor's advice and actively receive treatment.
