Welcome to Healthcare Magic
Are you having any discharge from vagina. It can be an infection like Candida. It's best you get looked at by your Gynaecologist and get swab tested as well for proper diagnosis and treatment. Avoid sex for now. Drink plenty of water. Keep the perineal area clean.

Hi
Welcome to HealthcareMagic
Itching and discharge could be due to infection. It may be STI. It could also be due to poor hygiene during periods, tight underclothing etc.. i suggest you to see a doctor for an examination , as you may need a dose of antibiotics and local application as well , make sure you drink enough amount of water and do not irritate the mucosa , avoid soaps over the area and wear loose cotton under garments . Your partner will also require treatment to prevent recurrence of infection. Avoid intercourse till infection clears up or use condoms. Take care
