Vaginal Itch & discomfort
Itchiness around the intimate area may be more common than you think. It can be caused by a wide variety of conditions including a vaginal infection, over cleaning, vaginal dryness due to menopause, psychological stress, or even an allergic reaction to your sanitary pad or underwear.
Women with medical conditions such as diabetes, dermatitis, psoriasis, fungal infections, sexually transmitted viruses or warts tend to experience itchiness around their private parts more frequently.
These are some tips to maintain good hygiene and to relieve existing symptoms of vaginal discomfort and itch:
- Maintain good vaginal hygiene. Wipe from the front to back after using the toilet and avoid douching.
- Wash your genital area daily with a gentle mild soap, especially after sexual intercourse.
- Avoid wearing tight garments. Consider cotton undergarments instead.
- If the itching is due to dryness, consider vaginal moisturisers or water-based lubricants to help in relieving the discomfort.
- Consider using a gentle soothing formulation to help reduce swelling and itch of the intimate area.

Vaginal itching or irritation is often self-limiting, meaning it often goes away on its own. However, to ease any worry regarding the cause of the itch, it may be good to consult a doctor. A vaginal infection, which may be coupled with other symptoms such as pain and discharge, will require medications.
