Vaginal itching, vulvar pruritus, is a common symptom among gynecological patients. It is often caused by various different lesions of the vulva but can also occur in individuals with completely normal vulvar anatomy. Candidal vulvovaginitis and trichomoniasis are the most common causes of vulvar pruritus. Lice and scabies can also lead to itching. Pruritus around the anus and vulva in young girls caused by pinworms typically occurs only at night. Chronic vulvar dystrophy is characterized by severe itching, accompanied by white patches on the vulvar skin. Local allergies to condoms, tampons, sanitary pads, or other drugs or chemicals. Poor hygiene habits, such as neglecting vulvar cleanliness, and prolonged irritation from sebum, sweat, menstrual flow, vaginal secretions, can cause itching. It is recommended that you seek medical attention promptly for a detailed examination to identify the cause and receive appropriate treatment. Avoid self-medication. Maintain good hygiene for the vulvar area, avoid washing the vulva with soap; try to restrain scratching and friction of the affected area; avoid spicy and irritating foods in your diet.
