Itching and prickling pain in the vulva are most likely caused by vaginitis. Vaginitis often leads to changes in vaginal discharge, and some patients may experience increased leucorrhea. Under the stimulation of vaginal inflammation and secretions, the vulva may develop symptoms such as itching and pain. It is recommended to visit the gynecology department of a reputable hospital for evaluation, undergo necessary examinations to confirm the diagnosis, and receive appropriate treatment based on the specific condition.
