Patient's question:
Methods for treating vulvitisWife, he has vulvitis, what should we do
Doctor's answer:
Vaginal itching is a symptom that can be caused by various factors. Local 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 also frequently experience vaginal itching. In some cases, there are no obvious local or systemic causes, which may be related to psychological or mental factors. Vaginal itching is a symptom caused by multiple factors. In elderly women, due to decreased estrogen levels, thinning of the vulvar epidermis, atrophy of the vaginal epithelium, reduced vaginal secretions, dry or unclean vulvar conditions, and mechanical or alkaline irritation, vaginal itching may occur. Additionally, due to disorders of the ovaries, uterus, or vagina, increased vaginal discharge often leads to irritation and itching of the vulvar skin.
