Itchy vagina

Common Reasons Your Vagina Is Itchy Beyond Belief

It's not exactly easy to scratch an itch down there, which is why it’s so frustrating when it happens. Vaginal itching can be caused by something as simple as your period products—but in other cases, it can actually be a symptom of a more serious issue. This guide will help you figure out exactly what’s making you feel like you have ants in your pants—and what your treatment options are. (That being said, when it comes to your lady parts, it’s always best to play it safe and visit your gyno for a proper diagnosis.)



Bacterial vaginosis (BV)
Bacterial vaginosis (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, explains Lauren Streicher, M.D., author of Sex Rx: Hormones, Health, and Your Best Sex Ever. When it comes to treatment, Streicher says RepHresh, an OTC cream, often works. If your BV doesn't clear up after the suggested usage time, you’ll have to ask your doc for something prescription-strength

Yeast infection
Like BV, a yeast infection is frequently the result of vaginal pH being out of whack, says Wendy Askew, M.D., a board-certified ob-gyn at the Institute for Women's Health in San Antonio. 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, Askew recommends taking a probiotic with a high bacteria count of acidophilus, like Flora-Q, which will help keep yeast in check.

Contact dermatitis
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.

 Eczema or psoriasis
Genetic skin disorders like these two can cause redness and itching in the genital region, along with a patch 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.

Sexual transmitted diseases
I 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 lady 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 gyno to get tested ASAP. If you do test positive for an STD, your doctor will give you either injection or oral antibiotics, or an antiviral medication in the case of herpes.

Lichen sclerosus
This serious condition and cause of vulvar itching appears as white spots on the skin, says Streicher. 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.

Hormones

Anytime your hormone 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 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 contraception. 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.

The secret of taking care vagina Live at tropical country with warm weather will make your body sweat more. Sweat will increase the body humidity, especially on the vagina the one always closed and folded. Thats way the bacteria is easy to multiply and the ecosystem in the vagina is disturbed, causing unpleasant odors and infection. This is the reason why we have to keep the balance on the vagina ecosystem. Vaginal ecosystem is the circle of life that is in the vagina. This ecosystem is influenced by two main factors, namely estrogen and lactobasillus(good bacteria). If this balance is disrupted, the lactobacillus bacteria will die and the pathogenic bacteria will grow so that the body will be susceptible to infection. Actually inside vagina there are bacteria, 95% are good bacteria while the rest are pathogenic bacteria. In order for a balanced ecosystem, it takes the level of acidity (pH balance) in the range of 3.8 to 4.2. With these levels of acidity, lactobasillus will be...
