Vaginal itching during confinement

Every mother pays more attention to her physical recovery during the confinement period, because confinement is the golden period for the mother's physical recovery. If this period is not grasped well, it will be very difficult to recover in the future. However, during the confinement period, women need to pay attention to things that they should not do during pregnancy. But what is the cause of vaginal itching in some women during the confinement period?

What to do if vaginal itching occurs during confinement

1. Chinese medicine treatment to relieve vaginal itching during confinement

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that damp heat and yin deficiency and blood dryness are the main causes of female vulvar itching. From the perspective of holistic treatment, the onset of vulvar itching is also closely related to the liver, spleen, kidney and other internal organs in the body, and involves the Ren and Du meridians. Some are caused by damp-heat in the liver meridians and leucorrhea soaking the genitals; some are caused by liver-kidney yin deficiency, loss of essence and blood, and malnutrition of the vulva. Vulvar itching often occurs interchangeably with leucorrhea, and in severe cases, it may also be complicated by vulvar pain.

2. Washing the lower body to relieve vaginal itching during confinement

Within 12 weeks of pregnancy, you can wash the vulva and vagina, change your underwear every day, and wash and iron it together with the towel and basin. After 12 weeks of pregnancy, after cleaning according to the above method, gently dry the vulva and place special medicine deep in the vagina. Use it every night before going to bed. If there is vulvitis, special medicine can be applied to the vulva. Generally, one course of treatment lasts 10-14 days. The patient should be rechecked 7 days after stopping the medication, and the fungus should be rechecked for the third time 2 weeks after the symptoms disappear. Treatment can be terminated after recovery. After 35 weeks of pregnancy, vaginal operations should not be performed to avoid intrauterine infection.

3. Go to the hospital for a check-up to relieve vaginal itching during confinement

You should go to the hospital for a gynecological examination and routine examination of leucorrhea to find out whether you have vaginitis or vulvitis, make a clear diagnosis, and take medication as prescribed by the doctor. Do not blindly take medication on your own before a diagnosis is confirmed to avoid delaying the disease. If the condition is more serious, you must seek treatment immediately and go to the obstetrics and gynecology department of a regular hospital for examination. After finding out the cause, under the doctor's instructions, you should choose a drug system that has less impact on the fetus and carry out standardized treatment. For vulvar itching, relevant examinations must be done to find out the real cause of vulvar itching and treat it symptomatically. Do not take antibiotics indiscriminately. In addition, for patients with some special cases of vulvar itching, it is recommended to check their blood sugar and arrange appropriate treatment to get rid of the trouble of vulvar itching.
