Doctor's answer:
Vaginal itching, vulvar pruritus, is a common symptom among gynecological patients. It is often caused by various 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 pale vulvar skin. Local allergies caused by reactions to condoms, tampons, sanitary pads, or other drugs and chemicals. Poor hygiene habits neglecting vulvar cleanliness, with the infiltration of sebum, sweat, menstrual fluid, vaginal secretions, and even urine or feces, can lead to prolonged irritation and itching of the vulva. 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 of the vulvar area, avoid washing the vulva with soap; try to restrain scratching and rubbing the affected area; and avoid spicy and irritating foods in your diet.
