It could be due to low oestrogen levels.

Detailed Answer:
Hello Mam,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.
In your case vaginal itching could be due to dermatitis, vaginal atrophy( due to low oestrogen) and vaginal infection.
It is most likely due to low estrogen levels, you can use oestrogen cream for local application.
