Understanding Vaginal Itching
Vaginal irritation may have a variety of causes – infections, hormonal changes, skin problems, and irritants. Examples of common irritants include:
- Yeast infections, characterized by a proliferation of the fungus Candida that results in severe itching and a thick white discharge from the vagina.
- Bacterial vaginosis, produces an imbalance in the overall healthy flora of the vagina and results in a discolored (greyish) discharge from the vagina with a fishy odor.
- Vaginal irritation from sexually transmitted infections (STIs), such as trichomoniasis, chlamydia and gonorrhea may produce pain or burning during intercourse and an abnormal discharge from the vagina.
- Hormonal fluctuations, such as low levels of estrogen that are present during menopause may result in vaginal dryness, resulting in an itchy and irritated vagina.
- Skin disorders such as eczema or psoriasis in conjunction with irritants (scented products, tight-fitting clothes and irritants from chemicals) can all produce an itchy, irritated vagina.
If not well controlled, chronic vaginal irritation can affect a woman’s quality of life, create sleep difficulties, and negatively impact her relationship with her partner. As a result, it is important to seek medical care as soon as possible if you experience persistent vaginal itching.
