(Commonly abbreviated as BV) is the most common reason for vaginal itching and is caused by an
imbalance in healthy bacteria and a change in vaginal pH. It feels similar to a yeast infection, but in this case, the discharge is more watery and usually has an odor, you’ll have to VISIT your doctor
for treatment .
2.YEAST INFECTION
Like BV, a yeast infection is frequently the result of vaginal pH being out of whack.They can occur at random or following antibiotic use, sex,stress, or a change in diet (and women with diabetes have a higher risk). In addition to itchiness, you may also notice curdled, white, or thick discharge.
The good news is that you can go ahead and use an OTC remedy, like Monistat, which should take care of the symptoms within a day or so. To avoid recurrent infections,We recommends taking a probiotic with a high bacteria count of acidophilus, which will help keep yeast in check.
3.CONTACT DERMATITIS
This skin irritation is caused by allergies to certain products. You can get it from anything with perfumes or additives, including condoms and lubricants, and on top of itching, you may also notice redness, swelling,and skin thickening. It can also be the result of shaving. If you know that you’re susceptible to vaginal irritation, use hypoallergenic hygiene products, like shampoo, fabric softeners,
and laundry detergents,making sure to avoid chemicals, soaps, and irritating lubricants.
Even toilet paper with scents or colors can be troublemakers. Plus, you should definitely avoid shaving if you're sensitive—and never, ever douche. The vagina is self-cleaning, so you don't need to put anything on or in it.
4.ECZEMA/PSORIASIS
Genetic skin disorders like these two can cause redness and itching in the genital region, along with a patchy or rash-like appearance. If you’re diagnosed with either,a mild steroid like hydrocortisone and taking oatmeal baths can help alleviate the discomfort. If you don’t feel relief within a week, ask your doctor about other treatment options.
5.SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES
We shouldn’t have to tell you this again, but unprotected sex can lead to an STD (which is why you always, always need to use protection). And a bunch of them can make your genital parts itch, including chlamydia, herpes, trichomoniasis, and gonorrhea. Crabs, or pubic lice, can also appear in women with hair down there.
With any of these, the itching (or tingling sensation) can progress to pain and burning. If you experience itching along with any other common STD symptoms like burning while you pee, foul-smelling discharge, sores on your genitals, and pain during sex, you should book it to
your gynaecologist to get tested as soon as possible. If you do test positive for an STD, your doctor will give you either injectable or oral antibiotics, or an antiviral medication in the case of herpes.
6.LICHEN SCHLEROSIS
This serious condition and cause of vulvar itching appears as white spots on the skin. While it can come out of nowhere,some medical professionals think hormones or an overactive immune system may have something to do with it. Lichen sclerosus needs to be diagnosed by a gynecologist and treated with prescription medication.
7.HORMONES
Anytime your hormones levels change or fluctuate (like during your period,pregnancy, menopause, or while you're taking birth control), you may experience vaginal itching. Dryness is another indicator that hormones could be to to blame for your pain. When it comes to your period, the products you use during that time of the month (like pads and panty liners) often contain fragrances or colors that can add to the discomfort. If this happens to you often, consider trying a menstrual cup or organic cotton products, which may be less irritating. However, it may be difficult to pinpoint if your birth control prescription is what's causing you to itch down there (sometimes the only way to know if this is the culprit is to stop or start hormonal contraceptives). With any of these hormonal changes, your doctor might prescribe a hormonal cream to apply topically and you can also ask about switching pills if the itch continues to be a persistent problem.
