Itching of the vulva may be related to pubic lice, or it could be associated with gynecological conditions such as vulvitis, vaginitis, and cervicitis. However, irritation from urine cannot be ruled out either. As treatments vary depending on the underlying cause, patients are advised to undergo relevant medical examinations at a hospital for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment. During treatment, maintaining vulvar hygiene is important; the vulva should be cleaned with warm water.
