hi
two things may be there
-allergy or
-infection
1-allergy
sanitary pad may cause contact dermatitis and cause itching during and after period.
use it with moisturizer and change it frequently.
2-infection
as during period ,environment of vagina remain humid and hot ,which provide best medium to grow fungus .
so it may be due to fungal infection
apply clotrimazole powder during and after period to avoid any fungal infection.
better to consult dermatologist
