What could be the cause of vaginal itch and burn?!


Question: What could be the cause of vaginal itch and burn?
This is a very embarrassing, very personal question, and I've already tried googling it, but nothing seems to help. Lately there's been a lot of irritation inside and around my vagina, and it burns a little when I urinate.
I'm a VIRGIN, and I don't have an STD. I'm too embarrassed to go to my parents or a doctor right now, so what could I do for this?

Answers:

Sounds like you have a yeast infection. You can go into any drug store and get cream for this and you don't need a prescription. If you need help finding it ask one of the drug store pharmacist to help you.



There could be a variety of things. It could be something very simple to more complex were in Doctor should get involved here. It would be best ot bring it up to your mother and she may feel as if you should see a doctor. But it could be you underpants. Were the cotton kind not those g strings. If you have washed the area with any kind of normal soaps it can upset the good bactria in and around it. Even the laundry detergent can have some effects. If your mother is not having any troubles then that part should be fine. Don't spray the area with any perfumes that would upset the balance as well. Always wipe from front to rear and every time you go pee. Granted you may be a virgin and many young girls like to find out about themselves by touching. This alone can cause some kind of infection if your hands were not clean.



I'm sorry to tell you but I think you have a vaginal infection. If you have: pains when you urinate, redness/burning in the vagina, unusual smell or colour and an irritable vagina, then it's definetly an infection. You should go to see your gp or doctor about this immediatly.But don't worry too much about it, it is very common and can be treated.

I am a GP.

Did you recently start shaving it ? It feels weird when you first start shaving and it grabs all fabric and just doesnt feel good for the next month.

If you havent, maybe you should because hair can be very comfortable in my opinion.

You could possibly have gotten some kind of bug from trying on other peoples clothes or clothes in a store also - not to scare you.

Or it could be too wet or too dry when it itches. Theres so many possibilities :D



Most common cause is yeast infection. Go tell your mom and she can help you get the medicine you need. It's not embarrassing everybody gets one sooner or later.
