What Causes Vaginal Itching?

hi doc, i gave this guy an oral sex a few years ago but i didnt have an itchy vagina after doing it. i just started getting an itchy vagina near my clit on the upper area. im so worried. well, before i masturbated with an unclean hand, bought a deodorant for my vagina and spat on my finger without brushing my teeth. it started last year february and i havent got it checked yet :/ im so scared. i think i might have an std?

Hi there,

Thanks for your query.

Your problem is apparently not related to oral sex in the past.

The symptoms are suggestive of a yeast/bacterial infection of the genitals, most likely due to abrasions of the delicate skin following masturbation, thereby enabling the microorganisms- normally present over the skin- to invade deeper layers and causing infection.

Local application of an anti-fungal + anti-bacterial ointment will cure the infection and thereby relieve itchiness.

If you find my response helpful and informative, do not forget an “excellent” (5-star rating) to my answer, to ENCOURAGE ALL doctors- engaged in social service- to render sound advice to the FREE queries.

Take care
