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.
What Causes Itching Sensation In The Vaginal Area?
i am a female and about last Thursday after a trip to the gym my vaginal discharge has changed in scent, however the consistency and color have remained the same. As of today i have noticed an itch. Should i wait a little bit or should go to my doctor? I also know that i just ended my fertile window but am not sure if that is relevant.
The symptoms are more consistent with infective causes like yeast or bacterial vaginosis. Consult a gynecologist and plan for a vaginal swab to confirm the diagnosis.
As of now, you can use clotrimazole lotion to cleanse your genitals.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
