Why does it arise? What is this fraught with? Maybe there is reason to worry about their own health? Is this a reason to review personal hygiene? Can I go on an intimate date with a similar symptom? Any girl will worry in such a situation. How to answer the most basic questions?
Oh woman, you are a goddess!
A woman is a clean and delicate flower that needs affection and constant care. Then she can afford a good rest, abstinence from cheap cosmetics and timely hygiene. But if a lady disappears from work from morning to night, grabs a plate of instant noodles at lunch and only late at night recalls that she needs to take a shower and rinse off makeup, then not the most pleasant problems may loom on the horizon. These include redness of the labia. Alas, a woman has a high probability of catching an infection due to the structural features of the genitals. But carriers are often men. So do not immediately blame everything on yourself. It so happened that a woman has to pay for general shortcomings, but both partners have to be treated.
What to suspect?
If redness of the labia is observed, what should I do? It is clear that panic will not help, but this symptom can signal the presence of a serious problem, so you can not delay it with a visit to the gynecologist. Concomitant sensations can be very unpleasant, since itching appears on the labia and the need for friction due to stimulation of the skin with a certain irritant.
First of all, we begin to suspect the genital herpes virus. A few days after the first symptoms, mini-blisters appear on the organs and turn into sores.
If the cause of itching becomes a papillomovirus infection, then in intimate places genital warts appear, single or multiple. Their color can vary from pinkish to deep red. There may be an unpleasant odor. By the way, such a disease is transmitted sexually.
Also, a cytomegalovirus infection that causes colpitis, vulvovaginitis, endometritis, etc. The disease proceeds without symptoms, with the exception of pain in the pelvic area.
With such ailments, women note obvious redness of the labia, itching, burning and purulent discharge. During intercourse and urination, pain may appear.
If the fungus is to blame
There is an insidious disease - candidiasis, or thrush. With it, redness of the labia is observed. The discharge becomes curdled, and redness with whitish spots is visible in the vagina. Itching intensifies during sleep, after a long walk or during menstruation. Treatment for thrush consists in suppressing the development of Candida yeast.
And with bacterial vaginosis, grayish discharge can be added to all the symptoms. With treatment, you can not do without medications and suppositories.
Sami with a mustache
Most offensively, when the discomfort and illness the lady earned, succumbing to a minute hobby. After all, itching on the labia is the first signal about the presence of sexually transmitted infections. It is also worth paying attention to strange spots on the skin, an increase in lymph nodes. It is impossible to make a diagnosis guided only by these symptoms, since such ailments accompany many diseases. Be sure to take tests.
The cause of redness and itching can be banal violations of personal hygiene! You must also be careful when choosing gels, soaps.
Synthetic underwear can contribute to genital discomfort, as is allergy to external contaminants.
Risk factors can be considered taking antibiotics, diseases of internal organs.
Treatment
If redness of the labia is observed, the reasons established on time help to determine the further treatment. The gynecologist will check the tests, prescribe a course of medications and may recommend additional procedures. For example, washing the genitals with a decoction of St. John's wort and chamomile. Also relieves itching decoction of sage, mint, yarrow. After taking a bath, you can apply an ointment based on crushed walnuts and vegetable oil.
During the rehabilitation period, it is necessary to boil underwear and iron it with steam. It is better to exclude tight clothing and thongs. It is better to abstain from sexual intercourse. Yes, and it is unlikely that you will want to try your luck, because touching the genitals can be painful. Symptoms cannot be ignored categorically, as the consequences can be dire. In particular, the redness of the genitals flows into inflammation, affecting the uterus and urethra. Accordingly, the kidneys suffer. And timely treatment provides quick and complete relief.
