What Causes Vaginal Itching After Ovulation?
Question: Hi! I track my cycles and have noticed that I experience vagunal itch only several days after I ovulate until my period and then it goes away until the next cycle. What could this be? I do not have it between my period and ovulation at all.
Brief Answer:
this could be fungal infection
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for contacting health care magic.
This is probably vaginal candidiasis with the itching after ovulation categorically and going off during menses.
I would suggest you to visit your gynecologist after ovulation during the itching for a pelvic examination and a PAP smear and vaginal smear for culture , to rule out fungal infection.
