Itching In The Vaginal Area

Whether it is vaginal itching, irritation, or burning sensation in and around the vulva are usually the symptoms of vaginitis. Women suffering from yeast infections will certainly experience these symptoms. These symptoms can also be caused by bacterial vaginosis.

ย 

The vagina is a self-cleaning organ and it is perfectly normal to experience occasional vaginal irritation, itching or inflammation. For some women, this happens just before the onset of menstruation. This stimulus improves spontaneously without formal treatment. However, if vaginal itching, itching persists or becomes severe, be sure to see a doctor.
