You could have either thrush or a bacterial infection (bacterial vaginosis) These are NOT stds so dont worry! They are very common and easy to treat. I have had thrush & didnt have the white discharge either. you wont always have ALL symptoms.
With bacterial vaginosis the most obvious symptom will be an offensive smell (especially after sexual intercourse)
My advice would be go to your doctor and they will prescribe the best treatment for you. In the mean time, avoid using perfumed products and wearing tight clothing/underwear.
I have had both thrush & bacterial vaginosis myself!
It's normal; I'm sure every women gets a "itchy" vagina at times. It could be the pad, tampon, laundry detergent you're using. In the mean time, use a anti-itch feminine cream.
It might be the type of wash you use, some have some type of irritent in them. I had this before and I changed what I washed with and the itching went away after a week or two
It's probably just a yeast infection which is VERY common. I would not worry one single bit. You can get yeast infections without having sex.
