If irritation appears on any part of the body, you want to scratch this place. This feeling is familiar to many. However, in some cases, the annoying feeling becomes unbearable. So itching and burning in the perineum is manifested.
It should be noted that in this area a large number of nerve endings are collected. The burning sensation in the perineum in women, which arose for the first time, almost always causes stress. This is due to the fact that such sensations in the genital area are associated primarily with sexually transmitted diseases.
Itching and burning in the perineum develop due to irritation of the nerve endings. It is considered weak, because it can not cause "full" pain. This, at first glance, a harmless sensation may be a sign of quite serious pathologies.
Itching and burning in the perineum is a symptom of not only diseases of the genitourinary tract. These signs are also manifested in intestinal pathologies , liver function disorders , diabetes mellitus, and allergic reactions. Very often, a burning sensation in the perineum accompanies diarrhea or rapid urination.
In many cases, discomfort and discomfort are the result of neglecting the basic rules of intimate hygiene. Oddly enough, but gynecologists often have to remind women that preference should be given to underwear made from natural fabrics that have the ability to absorb secretions. Synthetics creates in some way a "greenhouse" in the perineal region. Thus, the most favorable conditions are formed for the development of pathogenic bacteria and the occurrence of inflammation.
Itching and burning in the perineum are also consequences of illiterate hygiene procedures. According to experts, it is not necessary to wash with boiled water or add disinfectants to it . Running water is also quite suitable for daily care. Many try using hygiene products (soap or gel) to “kill” discomfort and other painful symptoms. However, as practice shows, these are ineffective measures. The fact is that almost all hygiene products cause dry mucous membranes. From this, burning and itching can only intensify. Many resort to using special deodorants in the form of a foam or spray for the vagina. Specialists do not attribute them to hygiene products, according to some doctors, such products significantly disrupt the microflora. This increases the risk of inflammation.
A burning sensation and itching can accompany a disease such as genital herpes. This disease is characterized by a wave-like course. Periods alternate, starting with burning and itching and ending with rashes in the form of bubbles, with a state of rest, not accompanied by any symptoms. Undoubtedly, exacerbation of herpes always entails a "undermine" of immunity. That is why, in the treatment of ailment, along with local drugs, general restorative drugs are also prescribed.
Another disease, accompanied by burning or itching of the perineum, is vulvar kraurosis. This rather insidious disease is distinguished by the external absence of any lesions. However, even with the most careful observance of all hygiene rules, discomfort and discomfort can be so strong that they often lead to disorders of the nervous system.
As a rule, this disease is more characteristic of women during menopause. This is due to a significant decrease in the production of sex hormones involved in the protection of the urogenital mucosa. As a result of this, thinning of the shells occurs.
In the treatment of this disease, as a rule, a set of measures is used, including local drugs that reduce itching, hormones, restorative therapy, and vitamins.
