In fact, it is quite normal for us women to experience external genital itching during menstruation. It may be caused by some fungi or bacteria that cause itching in our external genitalia, but there is no need to worry about this phenomenon, as there are many ways to treat it. As long as we pay more attention to the hygiene of the external genitalia, can we wash the itching of the external genitalia during menstruation?
Can external genital itching be washed during menstruation
In recent years, many cases of external genital itching have been caused by female friends not paying attention to their hygiene during menstruation. The problem of external genital itching during menstruation is difficult for many patients to talk about, but the itching is unbearable, which makes many patients feel very painful. During menstruation, it is possible to clean the external genitalia with clean water.
It is strongly recommended not to blindly take medication. It is necessary to actively go to the hospital for routine vaginal discharge examination after menstruation to determine the specific type of vaginitis, and then treat it accordingly. Female friends should not be embarrassed to go to the hospital for examination and should not joke about their health. Symptomatic treatment should be carried out after diagnosis to achieve good results. Vaginitis can have mixed bacterial, fungal, or trichomonas infections, etc.
What to do if there is itching in the external genitalia during menstruation
Using dry mesh and breathable sanitary napkins is the best way to deal with external genital itching during menstruation. Patients need to keep their bodies clean and dry, such as cleaning the external genitalia as usual, to avoid bacterial growth and itching, which can lead to a series of inflammations. The tighter the menstrual period, the less likely the body odor is to dissipate. So when itching occurs in the external genitalia, be careful not to wear tight fitting clothes. If not, the strange odor will become stronger and accumulate for a long time, and the long-term sealed state will also cause itching in the external genitalia.
During menstruation, do not eat high-energy and high-fat foods. It is recommended to eat more light foods, such as vegetables, fruits, plant protein, and legumes, which can lighten the original taste of menstruation in the body and make the body more refreshed. These foods can help alleviate itching symptoms.
In summary, for women like us who often neglect hygiene during menstruation, it is easy to cause itching in the external genitalia, so we must take this matter seriously. And we cannot underestimate this phenomenon. In fact, if we magnify it, it can also cause us to suffer from other gynecological inflammations and more seriously affect our fertility.
