&lt;p data-block-key=&quot;91qbf&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Itch is the body&amp;rsquo;s way of drawing attention to an area to let you know that something is irritating that particular area of the body. This itch can occur through a variety of reasons, however when the itch happens in a more sensitive part of the body such as the vagina &amp;ndash; including the vulva, labia, clitoris or even vaginal opening, this itch can get quite uncomfortable.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a&gt;Causes of Vaginal Itching&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Here are some of the possible causes of itchiness in the vagina and the surrounding area.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Irritants&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Exposing the vagina to irritating chemicals can cause vaginal itching. These irritants may trigger an allergic reaction that creates an itchy rash over various areas of the body, including the vagina. Common chemical irritants include:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;soap&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;bubble baths&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;feminine sprays&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;douches&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;topical contraceptives&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;creams&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;ointments&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;detergents&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;fabric softeners&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;scented toilet paper&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;If you have&amp;nbsp;diabetes&amp;nbsp;or&amp;nbsp;urinary incontinence, your urine may also cause vaginal irritation and itching.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Skin Diseases&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Some skin diseases, such as eczema and psoriasis, can cause redness and itching in the genital region.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a rash that primarily occurs in people with asthma or allergies. The rash is reddish and itchy with a scaly texture. It may spread to the vagina in some women with eczema.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Psoriasis&amp;nbsp;is a common skin condition that causes scaly, itchy, red patches to form along the scalp and joints. At times, outbreaks of these symptoms can occur in the vagina as well.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Yeast Infection&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Yeast is a naturally occurring fungus that&amp;rsquo;s normally present in the vagina. It usually doesn&amp;rsquo;t cause problems, but when its growth goes unchecked, an uncomfortable infection can result.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;This infection is known as a&amp;nbsp;vaginal yeast infection. It&amp;rsquo;s a very common condition, affecting 3 out of 4 women at some point in their lives, according to the&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/yeast-infection/basics/definition/con-20035129&quot;&gt;Mayo Clinic&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;The infection often occurs after taking a course of antibiotics, as these types of medications can destroy good bacteria along with bad bacteria. Good bacteria are needed to keep yeast growth in check.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;The overgrowth of yeast in the vagina can result in uncomfortable symptoms, including itching, burning, and lumpy discharge.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bacterial Vaginosis&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Bacterial vaginosis (BV)&amp;nbsp;is another common reason for vaginal itching.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Like a vaginal yeast infection, BV is triggered by an imbalance between naturally occurring good and bad bacteria in the vagina.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;The condition doesn&amp;rsquo;t always cause symptoms. When symptoms do appear, they typically include vaginal itching and an abnormal, foul-smelling discharge. The discharge may be thin and dull gray or white. In some cases, it might also be foamy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sexually Transmitted Diseases&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Numerous STDs can be transmitted during unprotected sexual intercourse and cause itching in the vagina. These include:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;chlamydia&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;genital warts&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;gonorrhea&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;genital herpes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;trichomoniasis&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;These conditions can also cause additional symptoms, including abnormal growths, green or yellow vaginal discharge, and pain while urinating.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Menopause&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Women who are going through&amp;nbsp;menopause&amp;nbsp;or who have already done so are more at risk for vaginal itching.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;This is due to the reduction of estrogen levels that occur during menopause, which leads to vaginal atrophy. This is a thinning of the mucosa that can lead to excessive dryness. The dryness can cause itching and irritation if you don&amp;rsquo;t get treatment for it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Stress&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Physical and emotional stress can cause vaginal itching and irritation, though this isn&amp;rsquo;t very common. It might occur when stress weakens your immune system, leaving you more prone to infections that cause itching.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Vulvar Cancer&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;In rare cases, vaginal itching may be a symptom of&amp;nbsp;vulvar cancer. This is a type of cancer that develops in the vulva, which is the external part of the female&amp;rsquo;s genitals. It includes the inner and outer lips of the vagina, the clitoris, and the opening of the vagina.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Vulvar cancer may not always cause symptoms. However, when symptoms do occur, they may include itching, abnormal bleeding, or pain in the vulvar area.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Vulvar cancer can be treated successfully if your doctor diagnoses it in the early stages. This is another reason that yearly gynecologist checkups are essential.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;This itch can be on its own or accompanied by burning and irritation of the skin in the genital area. Furthermore this itch can either be persistent, occurring once in a blue moon or even occurring with a specific pattern &amp;ndash; after sex, before or after menses.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;nitro-offscreen&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Each of these combinations can point to a different cause such as a yeast infection, bacterial vaginosis (gardnerella infection), sexually transmitted infection (STI) such as Chlamydia, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com.sg/gonorrhoea&quot;&gt;Gonorrhoea&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;, Ureaplasma, Mycoplasma, Trichomonas. Other causes of vaginal itch also include chemical irritants of the area or even menopause.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;nitro-offscreen&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;For infections these can be easily diagnosed with a DTAP Express full vaginal swab where the correct diagnosis will allow for targeted treatment. Treatments of yeast infections include table antifungals, antifungal creams and or also antifungal pessaries. Bacteria vaginosis would then require treatments such as pessaries and antibiotics. Both of these conditions can be prevented as well with the use of probiotics.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;nitro-offscreen&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;However for other non infective causes of vaginal itch there are a few more considerations which would require a discussion with our doctors at DTAP clinic and these non infective causes include Menopause or even contact with chemical irritants.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;nitro-offscreen&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Chemical irritants can come from anything such as creams, condoms, washing detergent or soaps, scented clothes and materials that come into contact directly with the vagina and genital area. Treatment against chemical irritants include simple steroidal creams, antihistamines, and avoidance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;nitro-offscreen&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Last but not least vaginal itch that is caused by menopause is usually diagnosed when a woman stops her menstruation, and her hormonal estrogen levels are dipped. Again these estrogen levels can be picked up with a blood test and the treatments include estrogen vaginal creams as well.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-block-key=&quot;91qbf&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;The most important aspect of dealing with the vaginal itch is to differentiate between an infective cause vs a noninfective cause. And within the infective cause to know which type of fungal or bacterial infection this may be with a full vaginal swab test and getting the correct treatment to target the problem at its root once and for all.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a&gt;When to see your doctor about vaginal itching&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;It&amp;rsquo;s important to see your doctor for vaginal itching if the itching is severe enough to disrupt your daily life or sleep. Although most causes aren&amp;rsquo;t serious, some treatments can decrease the discomfort of vaginal itching.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;You should also contact your doctor if your vaginal itching persists for more than one week or if your itching occurs along with the following symptoms:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;ulcers or blisters on the vulva&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;pain or tenderness in the genital area&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;genital redness or swelling&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;trouble urinating&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;an unusual vaginal discharge&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;discomfort during sexual intercourse&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
