Vaginal Itching, Dryness. Fibromyalgia, Sjorgens Or Lupus?
I have had vaginal itching for aprox 3-4 months now, mostly on the lubia and clitorious area. I have noticed dryness I have never had before. I have been battling some un identified autoimmune problem. Doctors say it could be lupus, fibromyalgia and sjorgens. Could this itching be related to the autoimmune problem I'm having?

Autoimmune conditions can result in various effects on different parts of the body, and at the same time the medications prescribed to treat these conditions can also result in various side effects that could be causing your symptoms.
But before assuming these conditions to be the cause I would request you to go about a urine analysis and a vaginal swab test to rule out infections as the cause.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
