What to do if your vulva is itchy? Traditional Chinese medicine has some tricks to treat vulvar itching

Vulvar pruritus is a common symptom that occurs mainly in middle-aged women. There are many reasons for vulvar itching, sometimes due to poor hygiene and sometimes due to gynecological inflammation. To treat vulvar itching, you should pay attention to daily hygiene, diet, etc.

1: The first reaction when you feel itchy is to scratch it. Scratching can provide temporary relief but it cannot solve the problem. Instead, it may cause skin damage accidentally. You have to endure the itching even if it is unbearable. At this time, you can listen to music, watch TV, or do other things to divert your attention.

1: Sanitary napkins are used every month during menstruation. In order to prevent and treat vulvar itching, in addition to paying attention to cleanliness and hygiene, you should also pay attention to the choice of sanitary napkins. When buying sanitary napkins, pay attention to the production date and do not buy products without any quality assurance.

1: Underwear is in close contact with the vulva. If the material of the underwear is not good, it will affect the health of the vulva. Some people suffer from vulva itching because of wearing unqualified underwear and long-term friction. There are many materials for underwear, such as pure cotton, modal, and bamboo fiber. It is best to choose pure cotton underwear, and chemical fiber underwear is best not to use.

1: Do not eat spicy or irritating food, quit smoking and drinking, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, absorb more vitamins, and let the skin restore normal metabolism. Such a diet is very helpful in treating itching.

1: Since the itching is in a difficult-to-talk-about area, many women are too shy to speak up and dare not go to the hospital for examination and treatment, or they think that this is normal for women and do not need to see a doctor. These reasons delay the time to see a doctor, which is very unfavorable for the treatment of vulvar itching. When vulvar itching occurs, we should not be afraid to see a doctor. We should go to the relevant department of the hospital for examination in time to find out the cause of vulvar itching and cooperate with the treatment according to the doctor's instructions.

1: Many people pay attention to their personal hygiene but ignore household hygiene. Daily necessities such as quilts and bed sheets are also sources of infection and should also be washed carefully.

1: Unclean hygiene is a common cause of vulvar itching. This type of vulvar itching requires women to pay attention to the hygiene of their vulva and develop the habit of washing the vulva and changing underwear every day, especially during menstruation. At the same time, attention should be paid to the cleanliness of washing utensils, and "one person, one basin, one towel, one water" should be achieved to avoid itching caused by unclean vulva. Here we must also remind everyone that the cleaning of the vulva should not be too frequent. The vulva has a self-cleaning acidic environment. Excessive cleaning will lead to acid-base imbalance, which will also cause vulvar itching.

It is a symptom caused by the lesion, but it can also occur in people with completely normal vulva. When the itching worsens, the patient is often restless, which affects his life and work.
