Why is my lower body always wet? Vulvar itching?

Although with the improvement of medical standards, many gynecological diseases can be well treated, many women are shy to go to the hospital for treatment, resulting in more and more serious physical and mental damage. Among them, vulvar itching is a common condition for women, so how can we prevent it?

1. Vaginal diseases

Candida vaginitis, Trichomonas vaginitis, Gonorrhea vaginitis, Mycoplasma, Chlamydia infection, etc. This disease can easily be transmitted between sexual partners. During treatment, the sexual partners must be treated at the same time to prevent cross infection and achieve a complete cure.

2. Bad hygiene habits

Not developing the habit of cleaning the vulva every day, or not changing and washing underwear frequently. If sanitary appliances are not dedicated, or if the same basin is used for bathing and washing feet, these can transmit bacteria and cause infection.

3. External stimulation

Sometimes birth control pills can also cause itching. Itching can also be caused by tight underwear, friction from underwear, and irritation from the menstrual period.

4. Local lesions of the vulva

Common warts, herpes, eczema, condyloma acuminatum, vulvar squamous cell hyperplasia, lichen sclerosus, pubic lice, scabies, etc.

Vulvar itching self-examination

Wash your hands first, then use the "tips" of your index and middle fingers to press the vulva starting from the "mons pubis" area, from top to bottom, until the anus. When you touch the vulva normally, it should feel smooth and soft. If you don't press hard, you won't feel any pain. Of course, under normal circumstances, you shouldn't feel any small nodules or lumps. Otherwise, you may be sick.

Vulvar itching prevention and treatment

Pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva, do not use soap to wash the vulva, and try to avoid scratching and rubbing the affected area.

If the symptoms still cannot be relieved after doing the above points, you should seek medical attention promptly, find out the cause of the itching, and treat it accordingly. Avoid blindly taking medication.

If the treatment of vulvar itching is delayed, it will often become a very difficult disease to treat, but it is not a terminal illness. You just need to go to a regular hospital as soon as possible.
