Are Itchy Vagina And Painful Urination Serious Concerns?
Question: I have a itchy vagina and it sometimes hurts when I pee. Not sure what it is
Brief Answer:
Can be a vaginal infection .
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
From your symptoms it looks like vulvovaginitis to me which is inflammation or infection of the vulva and vagina. It may be caused by chafing or friction rub due to intercourse or the second possibility is of an infection can be caused by bacteria or yeast.
The other reason can be an allergic reaction to soaps, detergents, shower gel and condoms etc.
I suggest you to follow up with your gynecologist as you need to get a pelvic swab sample done for the cervical discharge to rule out any bacterial or fungal infection. Apply cold compresses and wear cotton undergarments.
Do get your urine examined to rule out a urine infection .
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
