Suggest Treatment For Vaginal Itching In A Diabetic

Hi I am 47 years old and was recently diagnosis with type 2 diabetes and recently I noticed I have bad vaginal itching only in the evening. I went to my doctor several times and they said it might be the soaps but I have used the same soaps before it. Can you please tell me what can cause vaginal itching?

Hello and welcome to HCM
I have read your query
I hope this will help
Diabetic patients have decreased immunity to counter infections..
Often in female diabetic patients vaginal itch secondary to infection is the only presenting symptom at time of diagnosis...
You might be having VAGINAL CANDIDIASIS which is very common in female diabetic patients...I will advise you to visit a gynaecologist and have your vaginal swabs taken for examination.. And receive medications according to the results.. Meanwhile good diabetic control and local hygiene are necessary.. The response to treatment is excellent most of the times..
Thanks
Dr faeza
