Q: Itchy Vagina
asked by: lukeworm23 on February 11th, 2007

Hello guys. A couple of days ago, my vagina has begun to itch. I don't think it's a yeast infection because it hasn't been "burning" and there has been no discharge-- just slight itching. Could this be a developing yeast infection, or some other disease? Please help, I am very confused. Thanks!

It could be bacterial vaginosis.

the reason why u might feel itchyness in your viginal area is because you might not be practicing proper bathing techniques. It isnt rather serious now but u might want to consider taking proper showers. My suggestion is....Scrub down there with soap and wash with hot water. Or mabey its because your vigina is a bit to hairy. Shave but dont use neir, its not ment for down there for both male and female.

i just wanted to clear this one part up. Pubic hair does not usually make people itch unless they shaved it off and it is growing back in or something like that. Pubic hair is very natural and certainly does not need to be shaved off or removed in any other way. In fact, many doctors do not even recommend it as it can even cause some health problems. Shaving pubic hair is a relatively new fad. Many people do it, many people don't. I just wanted to clear up the fact that by not shaving people are not doing any harm to their bodies, in fact the exact opposite might be the case.

Depending on your sexual activity not cleaning properly after intercourse can also cause an irritation. If there is any redness in the area you could possibly have external yeast infection rather than internal but it can spread to that. Taking baths can also casue an irritation, change in laundry detergant, change in body soap, there can be many factors that could cause itching in that area and you may want to go into see your doctor to out rule anything that may require an antibiotic. I hope all goes well take care

Taking birthcontrol?
Hi there
If you are on the pill that might cause the problem as well. It did for me.. Seems that some pills changes the uterus wall so it in general becomes more dry and irritated.
