Brief Answer:
Vaginal candidiasis to be ruled out.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to HCM forum.
Thanks for posting to us.
Can you tell me for how many days you are having this problem, and whether this is associated with any discharge?
Itching and burning in vagina associated with pain is usually caused by vaginal candidiasis ( a fungal infection of the vaginal mucosa). This can be associated with white curd like discharge also.
After confirming the diagnosis by a vaginal examination, this can be treated with anti fungal pessaries for a few days.
So kindly see your doctor for evaluation and treatment accordingly.
Meanwhile, antihistamine like Levocetirizine 5 mg once daily can relieve itching.
Avoid sexual intercourse till the issue is resolved.
Hope this answer will help.
Be free to ask further questions if any.
Thank you.
