If there is no allergic reaction to povidone-iodine rubbing on the vulva, it will play the role of disinfection and care for the vulva clinically. Usually, after abortion, induced abortion, postpartum or gynecological surgery, povidone-iodine rubbing on the vulva for vulvovaginal care is a very good way to take care of the vulva. However, it is not recommended to scrub the vulva with povidone-iodine without any other discomfort in daily life. If you use povidone-iodine to scrub the vulva, it will not cause any other discomfort, unless an allergy to povidone-iodine causes localized redness, swelling, heat, pain, and possibly severe itching, which requires anti-allergy treatment.
