Question: Why is my vagina so itchy!?
I know it's a pretty private topic and i appreciate it if only girls were to comment on this only, no offense boys!. here goes!. i'm 22 and once a month i get my period for 4-5 days!. on the 4th day the itchy begins and goes away after 3-4 days!. i can't go anywhere because i'd be tempted to itch in public and wouldn't do it, how rude!! I am not sexually active, nor have i ever been!. And i don't want to see a doctor!. Any creams you may suggest will be very much helpful and appreciative!. My mother recomends i have at least two baths daily when this occur!. Would this help do you think!? xWww@Answer-Health@Com

There is an antiseptic called Domeboro and that relly helps!. The reason why when you get a period it itches because hormones change during a menstral cycle and it feels a "little inflammed" because of blood flow during the cycle and it i very normal to itch when you have a period!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You're mother could be wrong!. This may be a yeast infection, have you taken any antibiotics lately they are famous for causing yeast infections and also douches!. Yes yeast infections come from being too clean, and they cause severe itching!. There is an over the counter cream called mono-stat or you can get a generic just make sure it says it cures yeast and not just controlled the symptoms!. If the itching continues then you need to see you're doctor to have him check for vaginitis this is not a STD!. And women who do not have sex can get it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Talk to your doctor, but over cleansing will make it worse as would douching!. In the meantime, eat yogurt with LIVE cultures, or drink kefir (you get it at the health food store) they will help balance the good bacteria in your system!. Good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com

It sounds like you may have a low grade infection!. I'd call my doctor and explain!. Also, since its' a week-end-I'd try increasing the good flora and eat yogurt!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Two baths a day is ok, but don't wash or dry the area too vigorously and irritate it even more!. Vagisil will help!. Actually it is something that happens to some women when they get their period!. My daughter gets it and when she became sexually active, it got worse and she would get a vaginal infection some months!. In my opinion, her doctor at the time was a quack and tried to convince her to take an antibiotic every day (really bad idea)!. If the baths or Vagisil doesn't help, a doctor can!. They have prescription creams that work better than Vagisil!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
First of all try antihistamines, they could reduce the itch if it's an allergy/stress based itch!.
Another thing you can do is to take a bath in water and white vinegar!.
Another bath remedy is oatbran in bath water!.
Before of after your period try a Canestan treatment, which uses a pessary or cream inserted up "there"!.
If these fail to work then you should visit your doctor/Ob Gyn to find a cure more suited for you!.
It might be Bacterial Vaginosis which can feel itchy and gets worse during the period but has a smell!. This can be "cured" by taking 800mg of folic acid per day for a week, or by taking meds prescribed by the doctor!.
Good luck, and eat live yoghurt with acidophilus/bidfus to get good bacteria down there!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
