What to do if vulva itches intolerably

　　Wrong approach one:

　　Some people mistakenly believe that the vulva is a dirty place and wash it every night with soap, hot water, salt water, cleaning solution or disinfectant. They also say that they feel very comfortable after being scalded. In fact, the vulva is not dirtier than the mouth and nose. Excessive cleaning, disinfection, and "comfort" can cause imbalance of the flora of the vulva, local inflammation, make it more severe, and even cause perianal inflammation, cystitis, retrograde pyelonephritis, etc.

　　Wrong approach two:

　　for Itching of the vulva , some doctors not only do not advise patients to stop scalding, but instead recommend that they apply drugs containing "pine" hormones after scalding. The result is that it is temporarily effective, but it will become more itchy after stopping, and it will become more stubborn with more treatments, and may even not heal for many years.
