Cracks in the vulvar skin may be caused by friction, tearing during sexual intercourse, estrogen deficiency and other factors.
1. Friction: If the patient often wears tight underwear, it will make the skin of the vulva suffer from friction for a long time, which will make the local skin thin and cause cracks.
2. Sexual intercourse tearing: if the patient is rough or too violent during sexual intercourse, it will cause local skin tearing and cause the symptom of vulvar skin fissure.
3. Estrogen deficiency: for older women, as they age, the secretion function of the glands will gradually decline, which will reduce the estrogen in the body, thus causing the mucous membrane of the vulvar skin to atrophy, leading to the symptoms of vulvar skin fissures.
When the vulvar skin cracks, you need to go to the hospital in time for examination, to clarify the cause of the disease, and then follow the doctor’s instructions to give targeted treatment.
