What Causes Vaginal Itching?
Question: I am married for 2 years. I get vaginal itching every now and then mostly near my periods and post intercourse. Can you please suggest something to control that.
Brief Answer:
Vaginal infection
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Vaginal itching is likely due to vaginal infection which can be bacterial, fungal or due to other vaginal organisms.
The itching gets aggravated post intercourse.
In this situation, you should get examined internally by an OBGYN specialist, get a vaginal swab examination done to confirm the pathology and get appropriate treatment.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
