Some women have itching in the vulva because they usually do not pay attention to hygiene, while others are due to viral infections. No matter what the reason is, once it itches, it cannot be scratched in public, which can make people crazy. So female friends should pay more attention to hygiene and change their underwear frequently. What to do with female genital itching? How to self test for external genital itching?
How to self test for external genital itching?
1. Use a small mirror and place it under the vulva. Move the mirror back and forth, left and right, and use the mirror to observe the vulva.
In addition, observe vaginal secretions. Normal vaginal discharge is a clear white thin fluid, while normal menstrual blood is bright red or light red, and some people may have some blood clots. If the color, turbidity, and thickness of vaginal discharge and menstrual blood are abnormal, it indicates inflammation.
3. Smell the odor of secretions, menstrual blood, or external genitalia from a distance. Generally, the normal odor is light fishy, sweaty sour, or odorless. If there is a fishy odor, putrid odor, or special odor, problems may occur.
4. First, wash your hands and use your index and middle fingers to "point your abdomen" from the "pubic mound" to the bottom, touching the external genitalia in sequence until you reach the anus. When touching the vulva normally, it should feel smooth and soft. If you don't press hard, you won't feel pain. Of course, under normal circumstances, you should not feel small nodules or lumps. On the contrary, it may get sick.
If there are indeed abnormalities in the above inspection or if you are not satisfied with the self inspection results, it is best to go to a formal institution for further professional inspection. Perform deeper gynecological examinations, such as external genital and vaginal examinations. The purpose of external genital examination is to check whether the skin of the external genitalia is smooth, whether the color is normal, whether there are ulcers, dermatitis, proud organisms, and pigmentation. Then perform a vaginal examination. Check whether the surface of the vaginal mucosa is smooth, whether the texture is normal, whether there are bleeding points, and whether the characteristics and odor of vaginal secretions are normal. Do you have symptoms such as ulcers, proud organisms, cysts, congenital malformations, etc. If you want to check for vaginal discharge, the doctor will take a specimen at this time.
5 Habits trigger itching in private areas
1. Excessive cleaning
Colleague Kim, I really enjoy cleaning. I often recommend using branded lotions. In fact, gynecological inflammation is related to personal hygiene habits. Misuse of lotion can cause gynecological inflammation. Because a normal vagina has its own pH value, indiscriminate use of lotion often disrupts the acid-base balance of the vagina. Disrupting this balance can lead to imbalance of the vaginal microbiota and induce infection.
