I welcome you at my virtual clinic! Thanks for consulting me at HealthCare Magic. I have thoroughly worked through your case, and I can easily realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as things will settle down very soon. Causes of your condition may be: 1.Bacterial infection (unhealthy bacteria grow more than the healthy vaginal bacteria which normally reside inside vagina). 2.Sexually Transmitted Disease (STDs). 3.yeast Infection- causes being pregnancy, intercourse and weakened immune system 5.chemical irritants etc I have collected data from majority of my patients regarding their habits at home & based on that I can suggest a few tips for preventing and treating vaginal problem you have: Avoid scented pads or toilet paper, creams, bubble bath, feminine sprays, and douches. Use water and a plain, unscented soap to regularly clean your external genital area. But don t soap-wash more than once a day. Doing so can increase dryness. Always wipe from front to back after having a bowel movement. Wear cotton panties (no synthetic fabrics), and change your underwear every day. Stay away from hot bath tubs and avoid whirlpool baths. No swimming until you get better. Do not douche. Douching removes the healthy and normal bacteria in the vagina that actually protect you from infections. Wear loose clothes; and, no pantyhose. Use condoms during sexual intercourse to prevent sexually transmitted diseases. If you are experiencing vaginal dryness, use a vaginal moisturizer. Apply a water-based lubricant (K-Y, Astroglide) before having sex. Avoid sexual intercourse until your symptoms improve. Limit the number of sexual-partner. Don t scratch -- you can further irritate the area. Apply Clotrimazole/Hydrocortisone vaginal cream for prompt relief. Get yourself checked for any STDs. Take Loratadine by mouth if you also have got itching around the genitals. May you get very well soon and have a wonderful time ahead.
