Patient's question:
Expert, I would like to ask for advice: Why do I always experience vulvar itching after sexual activity? I urgently need assistance. Where can I learn about the harms of vulvar itching? Are there no other effective methods to prevent it?Doctor's answer:
Common causes of vulvar itching and irritation:1. Industrial pollution from urine and feces. When a patient has anal fissures, fistulas, urethral fistulas, or incontinence, the vulvar area is frequently exposed to the flushing of urine and feces, leading to burning pain or itching.
2. Lack of good hygiene habits for cleaning the vulva is also a cause of itching. The vulva has many folds, and if there is a buildup of grayish-white dirt in these folds, it can irritate the delicate mucous membranes and skin. On the other hand, some women overemphasize sterility and aseptic conditions. Using alkaline soaps to clean the vulva can cause excessive dryness, leading to further irritation and recurrence of itching.
