Sexual Health - Women Forum - Why Is My Vagina Itchy????

I'm having a problem!!!! I've been having a lot of issues lately with stress and being over emotional and stuff, and i've gained weight over the past few weeks, and now i'm starting to lose it again...

My problem is: my vagina itches! It started this morning. I really don't think it's anything big because it's not sore, swollen, or looks like it is inflamed at all, it's just itchy.

I haven't had sex since last saturday. I've been taking my bc like normal. I haven't shaved down there in at least a week (and I don't shave all the way (i use bikini razors), so I don't think it has anything to do with hair growing in. The only difference i've had is what I listed above, and there are two other things: 1. I've been wearing my pajama pants without undies and 2. I've had a mostly clear/white discharge, that isn't abnormal, but I usual don't have any discharge since i've been on bc, which is why it's strange.

So does anyone have any advice or opinion before I go buy something for the itching?? If it doesn't stop i'll go to my gyno, but right now I need it to stop itching!!!

I'm sure you have some type of infection. There are other kinds besides yeast infections that you can have. If the itching gets worse def. See your gyno.
It could be a yeast but yeast infections have what they call cottage like discharge. When I had mine I had lots of itching first though before I got the discharge, so I didn't think I had one.

why is my vagina itchy?

Iv been dealing with an itchy vagina now for about 2 days..weird thing is, it never itches during the day! its always at night just befor i go to bed. Iv had a bit of the white "cottage chesse clumps" iv read about. my vagina is not swollen and i have not tried any new body washes. I have had a yeast infection in the past, is it possible the i have another one?

i remember i had a horrible itch and i thought it was a yeast infection so i used cream on my clitoris. i had no other symptoms and months later i found out i had trigg. that doesnt mean you have this it could be a yeast infection.
Emile you definitely have a yeast infection the cottage cheese clumps is a tell-tell sign.

yeast infection. get the Monistat that has the three day treatment and the soothing cream. If you don't have much discharge or don't think it's a yeast infection, get some Cortizone to relieve it

I've been having a reallll bad itch for a awhile now. I stopped shaving my vagina and i have gotten tested for STD's and everything and i came out negative. But can the itching be caused by the thicker hair growing in? because i haven't shaved for 2 weeks now (or maybe more).

my vagina has also been itchy, but I'm a virgin, could it still be possible I have a yeast infection, because I've also had some white discharge, its not cottage cheese like though.

if you have white discharge which looks like a cottage cheese, yout vagina is itchying, i thing this is unambiguously a yeast infection.

itchy vagina

question...are the cottage cheese clumps usually just there or do they only come out when u're having sex?because the last couple of times i've had sex i get an itchy vagina and very small white clumps end up on the condom whne we're done.what does that mean?

the white clumps mean that you have a yeast infection, but you won't necessarily have the clumping if you have a yeast infection. Eat yogurt, take acidophilous ( vitamin and supplements section of drugstore). Sometimes having sex can irritate the infection, so hold off on it so that you can heal up. plus, even if you are using a condom, you and your partner could be transferring yeast to eachother, which will make it worse. Use a monistat cream, or even a 3 day ovule. It can help a lot. Also, check and make sure you aren't using a new toilet paper, and avoid baths. Only take showers. Also, while in the shower, don't saop up your vagina, just use warm water to clean it (don't worry, vagina's are like a self cleaning oven) The soap can really irritate the area. Also, you are going to want to really get as dry as possible after your shower. One thing that can keep you on the dryer side is to wear a panty liner. This will draw away any unwanted moisture. Hope this helps.
