Vaginal itching is a symptom that can be caused by various factors or underlying conditions. Local factors or causes include specific infections (such as fungal vaginitis, trichomoniasis, pubic lice, scabies, pinworms), chronic vulvar dystrophy, drug allergies or chemical irritation, poor hygiene habits, and skin diseases. Patients with chronic conditions such as diabetes, jaundice, leukemia, vitamin A deficiency, and vitamin B deficiency often experience vaginal itching. In some cases, there are no obvious local or systemic factors or causes, which may be related to psychological or mental factors.Vaginal itching is a symptom caused by multiple factors or underlying conditions. In elderly women, the decline in estrogen levels leads to thinning of the vulvar epidermis, atrophy of the vaginal epithelium, reduced vaginal secretions, dryness or unclean vulvar skin, and itching after mechanical or alkaline irritation. Additionally, conditions affecting the ovaries, uterus, or vagina often cause itching due to increased vaginal discharge irritating the vulvar skin.
