Answers:
Common causes of vaginal itching include:

Chemical irritants -- such as detergents, fabric softeners, feminine sprays, ointments, creams, douches, and contraceptive foams or jellies!.
Vaginal yeast infection -- often includes a discharge that is white and curd-like!. Vaginal yeast infections can be brought on by antibiotics, birth control pills, pregnancy, menstruation, condom use, sexual intercourse, diabetes, and a weakened immune system!.
Vaginitis -- inflammation, itching, discharge, and odor caused by other infections (including sexually transmitted diseases)!. Vaginitis in girls before puberty is common!. If a young girl has a sexually transmitted vaginal infection, however, sexual abuse must be considered and addressed!.
Menopause -- the drop in estrogen causes thinning of the vaginal wall and less lubrication!.
Stress -- may increase vaginal itching and make you more susceptible to infections!.

To prevent and treat vaginal itching:

Keep your genital area clean and dry!. Use plain, unscented soap!.
Avoid colored or perfumed toilet tissue and bubble bath!.
Wear cotton panties or pantyhose with a cotton crotch!. Avoid panties made from synthetic materials!. For infants and toddlers, change diapers often!.
Change out of wet clothing, especially wet bathing suits or exercise clothing, as soon as possible!.
Avoid feminine hygiene sprays and douches!.
Eat yogurt with live cultures or take lactobacillus acidophilus tablets when using antibiotics!. Check with your doctor!.
Cleanse by wiping or washing from front to back (vagina to anus) after urinating or having a bowel movement!.
Lose weight if you are over weight!.
Keep your blood sugars under good control if you have diabetes!.
It is also helpful to:

Avoid scratching, which will only aggravate the problem!.
Avoid overexertion, heat, and excessive sweating!.
Delay sexual activity until your symptoms get better or at least use a lubricant during intercourse!.
Use condoms to avoid catching or spreading sexually transmitted diseases!.
If you know that you have a yeast infection because your symptoms are exactly the same as those in the past, try over-the-counter creams or vaginal suppositories!.

Yeast infections are not considered sexually transmitted!. However, sometimes men also develop itching and redness following sexual contact!. If this is the case or you get recurrent infections for unclear reasons, both you and your partner may require treatment!. Talk to your doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
