Why Is My Vagina Dry And Itchy At 7th Month Of Pregnancy?

Yes, just curious. But I m 7 months pregnant. For a while now I have not had any vaginal discharge. My vagina has been dry and slightly itchy on the outside. I m worried that its trich or bv. In the beginning of my pregnancy, I was treated for trichomonisis. What do you think?

This itching may be due to fungal infection or dryness due to hormonal changes in pregnancy. Trichomoniasis and BV are of course important causes of itching but they cause profuse discharge, rather than itching alone. So, I think it's simply fungal infection, although for confirmation you need check up by gynecologist. In the mean time maintain hygiene, avoid using ordinary soaps in vagina, rather use medicated soaps.
