See if you have any discharge associated with itching.The reason of itching in vagina can be infection so it is better that you get examined by a Gynaec and get prescribed medicines to treat the infection.

proper antibiotic used locally or oral antibiotics for severe cases may eradicate the problem.
IT IS GENERALLY REALATED TO LOCAL INFECTION AND MAY BECOME SEVERE AND WIDESPREAD IF LEFT UNTREATED.

Hi,
To avoid vaginal itching -
_one should have good hyginic habbits ,keep vulvul&vaginal area dry.
- always wipe from front to back after bowel movements
-do not use doush.
-wear white cotton/hojiary panties. never use tight nylon panties.
-use warm water ,glycerine soap for bath.
-do not use bubble baths/fragrances ,they may lead to dry skin.
Avoid using cortisone creams available on counters, they may break the skin&worson the condition.
-if thera is white discharge it needs local &oral medicines to be taken by both partners,with dr's advice.
-Diabetese,menopausal,premenopausal conditions need expert advice.
