What's Going on with Itching in the Female Intimate Area? It Could Be Vaginitis

Many women have experienced itching in their private parts in their daily lives, itching when sitting and even when standing. Almost all women experience this once or more, and this distress may be closely related to vaginitis.

Vaginitis is a common disease in which inflammation occurs in the mucous membranes of the intimate parts, and its symptoms mainly include itching of the private parts, abnormal increase in leukorrhea, odor, burning sensation in the urethra, and other discomforts. Presently, three kinds of vaginitis are most common in the clinic: trichomonas vaginosis, bacterial vaginosis, and mycobacterial vaginosis. The clinical symptoms of these three types of vaginitis are different because the disease-causing bacteria are different. 

The leukorrhea of trichomonas vaginosis is usually yellow and can be frothy within the leukorrhea. The vaginal discharge of bacterial vaginosis is increased, grayish-white and thin. The discharge has a fishy odor and is especially worse after sexual intercourse. In mycobacterial vaginosis, leukorrhea is profuse, whitish, and sometimes tofu-like and is often accompanied by significant vulvar itching.

The treatment of vaginitis mainly takes drugs and general treatment; at the same time, females can focus on strengthening immunity and improving resistance to prevent disease.

1. Medication Treatment: For bacterial vaginosis, antibiotics are usually used to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria. Candida vaginitis is treated with antifungal medications, and antiprotozoal medications are used for trichomonas vaginosis. Medication is only indicated for diagnosed vaginitis, and before self-diagnosing and administering medication, one should consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment advice.

Patients can also use the patent medicine Fuyan Pill, which has strong bactericidal power and can kill all kinds of bacteria and viruses, so these three types of vaginitis can be treated. It also has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying the body, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, helping patients to relieve itching symptoms and eliminate inflammation easily.

2. General Treatment: Keep intimate areas dry, avoid using detergents containing harsh chemicals and frequent changes of sanitary napkins or pads, use safe sex practices, and take preventive measures with the partner.

3. Immunity Improvement: A healthy diet that includes foods rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, helps to strengthen the functioning of the immune system. Moderate exercise improves the body's resistance and immunity. Adequate sleep helps the body to repair and the immune system to recover. Reducing stress and adopting effective coping methods, such as meditation and relaxation techniques, are also very beneficial in maintaining a healthy immune system.

Of course, itching in the intimate parts may also be due to vulvar skin diseases, including jock itch, vulvar eczema, vulvar dermatitis, vulvar leukoplakia, etc., pubic lice disease, as well as other reasons, such as bath products to stimulate the skin, sexual intercourse allergies (semen allergy, condoms, etc.), drug allergies and other causes.

There are many reasons for itching; women should find out in time and take symptomatic treatment to relieve it effectively.
