Why Does My Vagina Itch? by Refrequent: 7:02am On Jul 31, 2019
There is no worse feeling in the world than when your vagina itches in public. It can start as a twinge in your nether regions while you are in a meeting, at a restaurant, or during the world’s longest wedding. You shift in your seat and take a depth breath assuming it will quickly pass, but it does no such convenient thing.

Instead, the twinge progresses to an itch and then the itch intensifies until it is almost burningly painful. Your eyes begin to water, as you search desperately for an exit and begin fantasizing about the sweet, sweet relief that scratching your crotch would bring you if only you weren’t in public.

What makes the vagina itch (and how can you make it go away)?

Life
If you feel a twinge every now and then, most likely it’s nothing major. The vagina can be irritated by a new soap and fabric softener. Your new jeans, leggings, or thong may be rubbing you the wrong way. Condoms, or simply friction from sex, can make you feel itchy after intercourse. The labial skin can also be sensitive to weather changes – just as your elbows don’t like winter, sometimes your vulva doesn’t either.

If the itching is random or minor, check your detergents and make sure nothing has changed. Switch to cotton underwear and loose-fitting clothes for a few days. If your symptoms get better with an easy fix, then no need to worry.

Menopause
The vaginal tissue is very sensitive to estrogen, so when the estrogen levels begin to plummet during menopause, the vagina can be affected. As blood flow decreases, the vaginal skin becomes significantly thinner causing vaginal atrophy. In some women, this can lead to pain with intercourse and well as irritation and burning.

Also, it can make the tissue more prone to infections and chronic skin changes like those mentioned above. Step one in treating vaginal atrophy is using lubrication with intercourse and a vaginal moisturizer for daily itching. These are available over the counter, but also coconut oil works well for both. There are also many prescription treatments available for vaginal atrophy of menopause.

Infection
A rip-roaring yeast infection is probably the most common and most intense cause of vaginal itching. While yeast infections can cause a thick, cottage cheese-style vaginal discharge, sometimes the only symptom is itching. A yeast infection will often cause the skin of the labia and groin tissue to be blotchy, irritated, and red. Another common vaginal infection that can cause itching is bacterial vaginosis (BV).

BV is often associated with a gray discharge and fishy odor. It usually doesn’t have external redness and the itching is often more of an irritation than the intense itch of yeast infection.

BV requires a trip to the doctor for prescription antibiotics. Yeast infections can often be resolved by over-the-counter treatments, but more severe yeast infections don’t always respond. So if your symptoms don’t improve with easy treatments.

As we all have known, antibiotics have much side effect, include allergic. I suggest you try another way. For your safety, you might as well try the patent Fuyan pill of herbal medicine, which belongs to the herbal formula. Since ancient times, herbal medicine has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxification, moistening intestines and strengthening the spleen.

It can kill all kinds of bacteria and viruses in about 3 months, and turn mycoplasma, chlamydia and gonorrhea negative, which not only has no side effects on the human body but also is of great benefit to women's health.
