Question: Why does my vagina itch every day?Do i need to go to a clinic?Whats wrong with me?
First couple weeks it would itch like crazy, everyday all day. Now its at night almost everyday or when ever i take a shower.

Answers:

?Chemical irritants -- such as detergents, fabric softeners, feminine sprays, ointments, creams, douches, and contraceptive foams or jellies.
?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.
?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.
Other possible, but less common, causes of vaginal or vulvar itching include:

?Certain skin conditions affecting the vulvar skin, some of which may be precancerous
To prevent and treat vaginal itching:

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

?You have increased thirst or appetite, unexplained weight loss, frequent urination, or fatigue -- these may be signs of diabetes.
?You have pelvic or lower abdominal pain or fever.



watch what you use when showering weather it be a type of soap or cloth
you may have a aligic reaction to it
.but i think it sounds more like a yeast infection differently
there stuff you can buy in a drug store or walmart
for yeast infection it comes with a little tube
you just put the cream in the tube
an place the tube in your vagina as far as you can
to get the cream in to that area
but you can see a doctor OB GYN is better



It could be anything to an infection, sensitivity to soap, irritation to not cleansing, std etc. I'd suggest getting it checked to be on the safe side.

I'd also suggest not using soap that contains chemicals.Stick to very mild, organic soaps, rinse well.



Is it just itchy or is there also discharge? You should see a doctor cause you can have a really bad problem, like vaginitis or yeast infection.



Do you shave down there? That could be why. But if you are sexually active then I would go to the doctor asap.



could be a yeast infection i would get it checked out
