Is me alone or other women also experience this itching vagina?

vaginal itching or itchy vigina is incredibly a common issue nowadays. Itching itself gives a discomfort feel but if you get this on your private part then this is seriously embarrassing. But no need to get ashamed it is so common like how you get cold. The itchiness what women generally experience is on vulva area. The vulva area is absolutely covered by a sensitive skin. This is the area which is actually affected. Most of us don’t know that the vulva area is consists of many compounds. These compounds are labia majora, labia minora, clitoris, urethra, vestibule, and perineum. This all area can be affected so you will feel itching and irritation. Most of the time this itching vagina is not a serious concern but its just uncomfortable sometimes.

What causes itching vagina?

There are a lot of things can cause itchy on the vagina. Some are hormonal changes like your periods, pregnancy, menopause or when you take birth control pills can cause vaginal itching. So five are the most important causes of vaginal itching, burning and discomfort are:

1. Bacterial vaginosis (BV)

BV is an overgrowth of bacteria which normally exist in the vagina. Its mean that our vaginal itself has some good bacterias which help our vaginal part to stay healthy. But when these bacteria start growing double or triple then we got BV. If you experience itching sensation and strong fishy smell from your vagina then this the sign that you have BV problem.

2. STDs (sexually transmitted diseases)

There are so many STD like chlamydia, gonorrhea, genital warts and many more. If you have any of this STD this is also a cause of itching vagina.

3. Yeast infection

Yeast infection is a common problem in women like vaginal itching. Yeast infection caused due to overproduction and imbalance of candida in the vagina. Rather then this women who had a yeast infection can experience white thick glue like cheesy discharge.

4. Menopause

The certain fall of estrogen in women can cause its vaginal walls to thin and dry out. This can further cause itching, irritation and redness.

5. Chemical irritants

Sometimes the cause lay in your cabinet rather than within your body. There are a lot of chemical things that can irritate your skin and can cause itching. Such as douches, flavored or cheap condoms, scented soap or toilet papers, menstrual pads, menstrual cups, harsh detergents or fabric softeners and sometimes body washes too.

Because Itching, burning, and irritation can be symptoms of an infection it doesn’t mean you remain silent. First of all, try to identify its cause then try some home remedies. If you still didn’t see any improvement then consult with a doctor.
