During menstruation, women may feel weak and uncomfortable, and some may also experience itching in their external genitalia. They may be shy and hesitant to talk about it, so what should they do if their external genitalia is itchy?
1. During menstruation, local moisture and lack of ventilation in the female external genitalia can easily lead to vaginitis or external genital eczema, causing symptoms of external genital itching. Women should pay attention to keeping their external genitalia clean during menstruation, scrubbing them with warm water every day, and not using gynecological cleansers or sitz baths during menstruation. Regularly change hygiene products during menstruation to reduce bacterial growth. After menstruation, you can go to the hospital for gynecological examinations to clarify the type of gynecological diseases and receive targeted treatment.
2. If women only experience this condition during their menstrual period, it may be due to itching caused by allergies to sanitary napkins. There are many sanitary napkins or pads on the market that are of poor quality. So women can replace some big brand sanitary pads or menstrual cups, which may help alleviate symptoms to some extent.
3. Whether it's during menstruation or on a regular basis, women should try to wear cotton and loose underwear. If they wear too tight clothing, it can cause irritation to the external genitalia and trigger itching. It is advisable not to scratch the itchy area of the female external genitalia with your hands, as this can easily lead to infection and cross infection.
