What medicine to use for vaginal itching

The female genitals are a relatively weakly protected part of the body. Due to reproductive reasons, many bactericidal substances in the human body do not work here. Female genital itching may be due to vulvitis or negligence in daily hygiene, which causes bacteria and fungi to breed and cause inflammation in the genitals, leading to redness, swelling and itching of the genitals. Because of its location, you must consider carefully when choosing drug treatment. Let me introduce it to you in detail below.

Overview

Vulvitis is an inflammation of the vulva caused by invasion of pathogens or various adverse stimuli. It can exist independently, but is more often complicated by vaginitis, urinary tract diseases, anorectal diseases or systemic diseases, or is one of the manifestations in the pathological process of certain vulvar diseases. The clinical manifestations are itching, pain, burning sensation and even swelling, rash, erosion and ulcers of the vulvar skin.

Clinical manifestations

The vulvar skin may experience itching, pain, burning sensation, and even swelling, rashes, erosions, and ulcers. If the disease lasts for a long time, the skin may become thickened, rough, cracked, and even become lichenified. Common types of vulvitis include:

Nonspecific vulvitis

Most of them are mixed infections of Staphylococcus, Streptococcus and Escherichia coli.

Fungal vulvitis

It often exists simultaneously with candidal vaginitis, and bean curd-like secretions can be seen, and the surface of the lesions is sometimes covered with white moss-like substances.

Vulvitis in infants and young children

The vulvar skin and mucous membranes become red, itchy and painful, which can lead to labia adhesion.

Bartholinitis

The labia majora on one side becomes red, swollen, hot and painful, and a lump forms in the lower 1/3 of the labia majora, which is fluctuating and tender, indicating a Bartholin's gland abscess. Abscesses sometimes burst on their own.

treat

Actively and effectively treat the primary disease.

Local treatment: Keep the vulva clean and dry and avoid adverse stimulation. Choose different liquid medicines for sitting baths, and apply antibiotic ointments, antifungal preparations, etc. to the vulva.

Antibiotics can be used appropriately for patients with fever and increased white blood cell count.
