Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am 48 years old and have been having vaginal itching for about 2 years.they have been so intense at night time.I have tried over the counter products such as babies diaper cream,Vaseline, and Lanacane. Nothing seems to work and too shy to see the Doctor.What causes it and is there a home remedy?
apple cider vinegar has anti bacterial n anti fungal property..take two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and mix it with warm water.Wash your vagina with this water twice a day for two to three days. This should effectively take care of your problem. Apple cider vinegar makes the vagina acidic where the bacteria cannot thrive for long. Cold compress also helps to relief itching..so before going to sleep,do cold compress. do salt bath.wash your vagina with concentrated salt water pure yoghurt made of sheeps milk..apply it directly over vagina. keep d vagina dry..sweat free.n use anti bacterial talc and wear loose clothing. hope u get well soon.thank you
