What’s with the postmenstrual itch?

Postmenstrual itching may be related to the stuffy environment caused by the use of sanitary napkins during menstruation, or it may be caused by allergy or pathogenic bacterial infection.
1. Normal phenomenon: The use of sanitary napkins during menstruation will lead to localized dampness and stuffiness, and therefore may irritate the vulva, thus causing itching.
2. Allergy: If the quality of the sanitary napkin used is not up to standard or its composition contains allergens, it will cause an allergic reaction, resulting in itchy skin symptoms.
3. Pathogenic bacteria infection: Due to the change of vaginal environment, it is very easy to cause the breeding of pathogenic bacteria, and at the same time, the lack of cleaning work can also cause pathogenic bacteria infection. The typical symptom of pathogenic bacteria infection is vaginal itching.
Therefore, there are many reasons for itching after menstruation, and it is recommended to make a clear diagnosis before treatment. If the itching symptoms are serious, you should go to the hospital in time for examination and treatment.
