Suggest Treatment For Itchy Sensation Near The Vagina
I got off the pill two months ago, after having been on it for around 7 years. As my period was getting over a few days ago, I started feeling very itchy in and around my vagina. There is no smell or unusual discharge, nor any pain. I have been using a vaginal wash to try to soothe it but it only helps temporarily. It almost feels like my vagina is allergic and reactive to any discharge. I do not have access to a gynaecologist for the next 2 weeks so would be grateful for any advice.
Your symptoms could be a vaginal infection, vulvovaginits, contact dermatitis. Vaginal examination, swab test and urine testing will help in the diagnosis. Take following advises: Apply vaginal suppository of clotrimazole plus clindamycin Apply vagisil cream Wash vagina with warm salted water then apply apple cidar vinegar Wear pure cotton loose inners Maintain hygiene after sex and urination Avoid perfumed soap and cosmetics Drink plenty of water for better systemic circulation Eat healthy diet to increase immunity. Hope this may help you
