I feel my vagina is itchy, what is going on?

The vagina is a reproductive organ unique to women. If you don't protect yourself properly, it will lead to vaginal diseases, and vaginal itching is often one of the symptoms of many diseases. So what causes vaginal itching?

1. Vaginal trichomoniasis: Female friends experience itching of the vulva, vagina, urethral opening, foamy leucorrhea, often accompanied by a special odor. After scratching, the vulva also develops eczematous dermatitis. A vaginal smear test can be used to distinguish it from the above conditions.

2. Fungal vaginitis: Female friends experience itching of the vulva, vagina, vaginal opening, urethral opening, vulvar flushing, and bean curd-like leucorrhea with an odor. Scratching may cause eczematous changes of the vulvar dermatitis.

3. Drug allergy: Women with allergic constitutions may experience itching caused by taking some drugs, which often occurs at the junction of the skin and mucous membrane of the vulva. In addition to local itching, it may also be complicated by erosion and exudation. If you use drugs for vaginal washing or vaginal insertion, if allergic reactions and contact dermatitis occur, vulvar itching and urethral itching may also occur.

4. Local skin uncleanness: Some women use toilet paper improperly, and the skin of the vulva is soaked by menstrual blood, vaginal secretions, and even urine, feces and sweat, which causes chronic inflammation of the local skin, causing itching of the vulva and urethra.
