Introduction
The following refers to the genital area. Itching in the genital area more than 20 days after an abortion may be caused by factors such as vulvar eczema, trichomoniasis vaginitis, or urethritis, and can be improved with medication. Besides these causes, it could also result from cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, or genital herpes. If any physical discomfort occurs after surgery, it is recommended to seek timely medical attention at a hospital.

The term "below" refers to the genital area. Itching in the genital region more than 20 days after an abortion may be caused by conditions such as vulvar eczema, trichomonas vaginitis, or urethritis, and can be improved with medication. Specific analyses are as follows:

1. Vulvar Eczema

Vulvar eczema is an inflammatory skin condition caused by excessive moisture in the vulvar area, leading to bacterial or fungal growth. After an abortion procedure, increased secretions due to endometrial tissue disruption and trauma can create a persistently moist environment, promoting the proliferation of bacteria or fungi. These microorganisms may stimulate nerve endings, resulting in itching. Patients may use medications such as calamine lotion or compound acetic acid dexamethasone cream under medical guidance.

2. Trichomonas Vaginitis

Trichomonas vaginitis alters the internal vaginal environment, disrupting the normal balance of vaginal flora. The presence of trichomonads irritates the vaginal mucosa, triggering an inflammatory response that leads to symptoms such as increased vaginal discharge and local itching. Patients may be treated with medications such as metronidazole tablets or tinidazole suppositories under a doctor's supervision.

3. Urethritis

Urethritis is inflammation of the urethral mucosa caused by bacterial infection. Because the urethra is anatomically close to the genital organs, bacterial infections can trigger an inflammatory response in the urethral lining, stimulating nearby nerve endings and causing symptoms such as local redness, swelling, and pain. Patients may take medications such as amoxicillin capsules or azithromycin dispersible tablets under medical guidance.

Besides the above causes, similar symptoms may also result from cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, genital herpes, or other conditions. If discomfort occurs after surgery, it is recommended to seek timely medical evaluation, undergo appropriate diagnostic tests, and receive treatment based on the underlying cause.
