Coughing of the vagina. Main reasons.

When the vagina and labia scratches - this is the most pronounced symptom of a developing infection. At all it is not necessary to think, that unpleasant sensations will pass independently.

Why does the vagina scratch?

The cause of genital itching can be the penetration of the fungus. The most common type of candidiasis is candidiasis( thrush).

In some cases, the vagina is scratched as a result of the development of bacteriological vaginosis.

For a more accurate diagnosis of the type of infection that causes the itching, it is necessary to pay attention to other accompanying manifestations.

So, except that it itches in the vagina, vaginosis is accompanied by white, yellow or brown secretions. This is characterized by a suspicious and rather unpleasant smell. The discharge is slightly foamy, having a white color and curdled consistency can indicate the development of candidiasis. As a rule, they are not accompanied by a smell.

It should be noted that with vaginosis, women rarely feel that the vagina or labia scratches. The main complaints in this disease are secretions. In this case, candidiasis is characterized not only by itching and burning in the genital area, but also by soreness with urination and sexual contact.

As a rule, when the vagina is scratched, neither gels nor ointments help. All means bring only temporary relief. However, after some time, a woman feels the need for a hygienic shower.

Treatment of both vaginosis and candidiasis is effective with the use of antibiotics and antifungal drugs. However, one should not forget that potent medicines can destroy the microflora of the vagina. Uncontrolled use of drugs can significantly harm the condition. That's why experts recommend that you pay close attention to preventive measures.

It should be noted that the candida is in the body constantly. The development of thrush is a consequence of uncontrolled multiplication of microorganisms or the occurrence of pathogenic fungal strains.

In order to prevent disease, it is recommended to take food containing live bacteria( lactic acid) yogurt, red pepper, garlic, grapefruit, propolis, lingonberry. In addition, it is preferable to give preference to cotton linen. Specialists also recommend abstaining from casual sexual contacts.
