General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

As per your clinical history is concerned, please follow like this:

1) Do a clinical examination by your Doctor [Gyn] to rule out any pathology.
2) If no pathological cause is found then discuss with your Doctor about topical estrogen cream on the vagina.

Do follow lifestyle modification like this:

1) Try to avoid baths in tubs. Rinse soap from your outer genital area after a shower, and dry the area well to prevent irritation.
2) Don't use scented or harsh soaps, such as those with deodorant or antibacterial action.
3) Try to avoid irritants. These include scented tampons and pads.
4) Don't douche. Repetitive douching disrupts the normal organisms that reside in the vagina and can actually increase your risk of vaginal irritation.
5) Use a latex condom while doing sex.
6) Wear cotton underwear if you feel comfortable without it.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Uday Nath Sahoo
