Ehat does it mean when your vajina itches alot?!


Question: Vaginal itching can come from something as simple as trapping bacteria for too long under too many layers of too-tight clothes.

In fact, itching can be the unwelcome calling card of a wide variety of infections, ranging from bacterial vaginitis to yeast (also called Candida albicans or monilia) and trichomoniasis.

The itching can also signal an allergy to a chemical in soap, deodorant or dye.

If you're looking for relief you can try this recipe my gynecologist gave me.

Dissolve a half-cup table salt in a shallow tub of warm water. In the tub, insert your finger into your vagina to let the warm salt water in, then remove your finger and relax for 10 to 15 minutes. Two or three consecutive nights of sitz baths should ease the itch, if yours is home treatable.

Resist douching. Douching not only won't help to relieve itching or vaginitis, it may be dangerous.

Make sure you don't have the signs of yeast infection. If you have been seeing a thick, white vaginal discharge that looks like cottage cheese and does not have a bad smell you probably have a yeast infection.
