Vulvitis is a gynecological disease that many women have experienced, and its appearance can affect the normal life and physical health of patients. We need to be aware of the pathogenic factors and take reasonable prevention measures in daily life.
Etiology of vulvitis
1. Poor personal hygiene: In daily life, female friends should pay special attention to their personal hygiene, especially during menstruation or postpartum period. They should pay attention to using qualified hygiene products and try to avoid swimming and soaking in hot springs in public places, which can lead to female genital infections.
2. Reason for antibiotics: If women often take medication containing antibiotics, although it can alleviate the general condition, it not only kills harmful bacteria but also kills beneficial bacteria, leading to imbalance of the bacterial community in the female genital area, leading to vulvitis.
3. Improper clothing: Women's choice of clothing is also very important, always wearing chemical fiber underwear, using hygiene products without strict disinfection standards, etc. Women's external genitalia skin has poor ventilation, is prone to itching, and ultimately develops external genitalitis.
4. Local skin uncleanness: The skin of the external genitalia is soaked in menstrual blood, vaginal secretions, urine, feces, and sweat, leading to chronic inflammation of the local skin and causing vulvitis.
5. Fungal vaginitis: itching of the external genitalia and vagina, redness of the external genitalia, bean residue like leukorrhea, unpleasant odor, and eczematous changes after scraping of the external genitalia. Therefore, it is important for women to seek medical attention promptly if they experience symptoms such as itching.

8. Sexually transmitted diseases: Genital warts often occur in the vaginal wall, cervical opening, and vulva of women. Infectious warts with foul smelling vaginal discharge that occur in the vulva often occur in circular papules with central umbilical cord like depressions, and can also cause vulvar inflammation.
9. Drug allergy: A "fixed type drug rash" caused by the use of sulfonamides or other drugs by women with allergic constitution, often occurring at the junction of the skin and mucosa of the external genitalia. In addition to local itching, it can also be accompanied by erosion and exudation.
