What is the reason for the itching around the vaginal opening?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Clinically, there are many pathogens that can cause vulvar itching. The most common ones are chronic dermatitis or eczema caused by long-term physical or chemical irritation. Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that the main causes and mechanisms of vulvar itching are the infection of dampness, heat, toxicity, and insect pathogens, as well as the dysfunction of the liver, kidneys, and spleen, which invade the vulvar area, or the lack of nourishment for the vulvar skin.
