What Causes Intermittent Itching In Vaginal Area After Intercourse?
Hello, my question is. After having sex, unprotected, 2 weeks later, 4 days before my cycle, my vaginal area started to be itchy. I treated it naturally with yogurt twice. It went away then came back. The following month a few days before my period it flared up and I treated it with OTC one day treatment. I thought it took care of it but 2 days after my cycle finished the irritation came back. I then used a 3 day OTC treatment. It went away BUT I m still having an occasional day here n there where I m being irritated and itchy. To answer some of your first questions: my labia and vaginal area still looks normal. There s no discoloration. No bumps or anything odd. There s no fowl odor. There s no change in color of any secretion. I just don t understand why it keeps coming back?
