That women's intimate areas are very gentle and that self-medication is not worth it, knows every woman. However, with the slightest suspicion that something is wrong, it's unlikely that anyone would like to run to a gynecologist. Polls show that these doctors are on the second place after dentists for the fear caused, and this despite the fact that half of the respondents are men. Let's try to figure out when the itch in the area of the clitoris and discharge are direct signs of health problems, and when their cause can be eliminated on their own.
Causes of itching clitoris
At once bad news: very often burning causes exactly the pathology, infection and all that is not recommended to treat yourself. However, there are exceptions.

Moreover, both the undue care and its excessive amount are equally harmful (for usual days, it should be 1-2 times a day, and during menstruation more often). Do not abuse antiseptics and syringings - they can also cause harm.
Note! It is also necessary to wash yourself properly - hand movements, the water jet should be directed only from the front to the back. Otherwise, you can bring an infection from the rectum.
The cause of itching may be hormonal age changes in women in the age of menopause. The lack of female hormones sometimes leads to drying of the skin of the labia and mucous membranes, which causes unpleasant sensations. Burning and other symptoms in the intimate area can cause incorrectly selected underwear. Synthetic and lace, of course, are very beautiful, but they are not always worn - because of the obstruction of air penetration, they can cause itching, the appearance of diaper rash and redness. Sometimes such symptoms appear in the last months of pregnancy due to an increased release of female hormones. In this case, the only option is to wait, and after the birth all the troubles will disappear. Quite often, even less pleasant things become the cause of the itching. Skin diseases, such as seborrhea, eczema, dermatitis and lichen can be manifested in such an uncomfortable way. Diagnosis occurs, as a rule, by the presence of foci in other places. The localized manifestation of such diseases in the intimate zone is extremely rare and is the exception. Itching, obvious redness, burning and pain, which are accompanied by the appearance of vesicles with liquid on the labia, mucous membranes and near the anus are caused by genital herpes. This disease, which is viral in nature, is not very common in acute form, despite the fact that 90% of the world's population is carriers. The diagnosis can be made only by a gynecologist after a full examination.
Note! The main danger of genital herpes is a serious risk of complications in pregnancy and an increased chance of cervical cancer.
Similar symptoms in combination with secretions of different colors and different consistencies can also be caused by infections of the genitourinary system: pale treponema, chlamydia, trichomonads, gardenella, gonorrhea, microplasms, syphilis, urinalysis and others.

Problems and abnormalities in the endocrine system, in particular diabetes, can also provoke discomfort and even cause a thrush (candidiasis).
If the itching accompanies not only the area of the clitoris and the vagina, but also the anus, it can be caused by helminthic invasion. At the same time, the symptoms will probably increase at night. Another parasitic cause of itching and discomfort is the itch mite and pubic lice. They are quite simple to determine independently visually or in the wake of bites and scratching. Get rid of parasites can be funds from any pharmacy. All unpleasant symptoms can be a trivial allergy to synthetics in laundry, detergent or hygiene, latex, fragrances or fragrances in pads.
