For women with vulva itching, if it is considered to be caused by vaginal inflammation, but there is no way to check and treat it at this time, you can consider washing the vulva with light salt water first, and play a role in sterilization and antipruritic. But for women with vulvar malnutrition, it is not possible to use saline to clear the vulva, this is because after washing with saline, it will cause obvious stimulation to the vulva, although the cleaning process may temporarily play an antipruritic role, but after the end of cleaning, it will increase vulvar itching due to the stimulation of saline. For such women, it is necessary to locally apply drugs for symptomatic itching, and at the same time, it is not possible to use various irritating lotions to clean the vulva, including light saline or vinegar water.
