What is the cause of vulvar itching in women’s lower body?
The vagina likes to be ventilated and cool, and it has a certain pH level. Artificial damage to its environment, such as sedentary, vaginal douching, and drug abuse, can lead to dysbiosis and inflammation of the vagina, the most common of which is vaginitis, which itches and fidgets and seriously affects its quality of life.
The symptoms of inflammation complained by women are more or less the same: nothing more than abnormal leucorrhea, the appearance of odor, itching of the pubic area, redness and swelling of the private parts, etc. The age of patients is mostly concentrated in two stages.
1. young women between the ages of 20 and 30, with the majority of them being newly married, have an increased likelihood of contracting inflammatory diseases because they are more sexually active. Women also tend to change their vaginal pH level easily before and after menstruation. Low estrogen levels and thinning of the vaginal epithelial tissue can also lead to vaginitis.
2. Middle-aged women who are around 40 years old and have not yet reached menopause may have a reduced defense mechanism, which makes it easy for germs and bacteria to take advantage of the situation. Once women reach their childbearing years or menopause, their resistance becomes weaker and when the vaginal lactobacillus decreases, the vaginal flora becomes dysbiosis and the pH value changes (normally, the vaginal pH value is 4.0-4.6), which can lead to Candida vaginitis when it is too acidic and bacterial vaginitis when it is too alkaline.
Sitting for a long time makes the pubic area hot and stuffy all the time, and women sitting for too long can also lead to vulvar itching. Some women take a bath and scrub with soapy water or harsh detergents because the medicated lotion contains some chemical ingredients that can affect the pH value of the vagina and destroy the original environment of the vagina. Mental tension can also cause vulvar itching. The use of poor quality or expired sanitary napkins and lack of hygiene can also cause itching of the lower body.
