What Causes Itching Sensation And Discomfort On Inside Of Vagina?
Hi, I have noticed that for a while now on and off I get this itching sensation and uncomfort on the inside of my vagina at the opening. Not the labor but my vaginal canal. I find that after w hole this goes away but then comes back months later. I am not sure if this is a yeast infection or something worse? It is really uncomfortable and I cannot see a doctor until tmrw. Is there anything I can do to relieve this uncomfort and what does it sound like I have?

Hi,
The symptoms you described, such as itching and discomfort on the inside of the vagina, can be caused by a number of conditions, including yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), or even allergies or irritants. >It is difficult to determine the exact cause without a physical examination and diagnostic tests by a medical professional, so it's important that you see a doctor as soon as possible.
In the meantime, to alleviate your discomfort, you may try over-the-counter antifungal creams or ointments specifically designed for vaginal use, such as miconazole or clotrimazole. Additionally, you may find relief by practicing good hygiene, wearing loose-fitting clothing made of breathable fabrics, and avoiding scented products in the genital area. It's crucial to note that if you are experiencing any abnormal discharge, fever, or severe pain, you should seek medical attention immediately.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
