What Causes Itching Sensation In The Vaginal Area?

Hi there, I am 19 years old and just finished my second period in 3 weeks. The first one started around the 20th oct and finished on the 24th, the second one started on 30th of Oct and finished yesterday. I am not on any form of contraceptive. My vaginal area feels itchy all the time and I feel constantly stiff and bloated in my abdominal area. My period came last month also and I have not been sexually active in over 2 months. There is also a bit of an odour I m not sure why. Any help would be great, thank you

Hi
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic.
I have gone through your query.
I think I have understood your concern, I will try to suggest you the best possible treatment options.

1) First of all do not panic.
2) It is not uncommon to have menstrual cycle irregularity to start off. It will take period of couple of months for your cycles to get regularized.
Please seek prescription support from your treating doctor for progesterone pills like Regestrone, twice a day for 20 days. Withdrawal bleeding will follow in 3 to 10 days period.
Keep watch on dates of your cycle.
3) for itching in vaginal area I will suggest use of Lactic acid containing vaginal wash daily at bath time.
Antifungal local ointment and oral tablet like Fluconazole will be of help.
4) Please get proper sex counselling done to know about safe and protected sex activity. This will help to prevent unwanted pregnancy and STDs.

I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks.
Wish you good health.
With regards
Dr Purushottam Neurgaonkar
