Answer 2

Itching around the vulval area may be the result of a vaginal infection (usually fungal), cystitis, or a rash (possibly caused by sensitivity to toiletries or synthetic underwear).

Vaginal fungal infections are caused by a yeast-like fungus, Candida albicans. This condition is commonly called thrush. A woman with vaginal thrush will normally complain of vulval soreness, itching and a burning sensation. There may be a thick white discharge like cottage cheese.

Occasional recurrent episodes may be treated with vaginal antifungals. These antifungals are available over-the-counter from pharmacists. As the creams may themselves cause vulval irritation in some women, prolonged symptoms that persist after treatment must be reviewed by a doctor.

Common triggers of vaginal thrush include:

antibiotics;
pre-menstrual changes in the vagina’s acidity/alkalinity;
hot weather;
tight fitting synthetic clothes;
vaginal deodorants, bath salts and some soaps;
intercourse, especially if the vagina is dry; and
tampons.

Go see you doctor and they can do a swab test to determine if it is thrush or not.

Answer 3

Its probably the birth control. Are you using a gel or something you insert? I get that and yes it could be a yeast infection and the birth control has irritated it more. Some of those inserts will burn you and irritate the **** out of you. They say the non oxynol 9 is too strong for you when it does that, but who want to get one that has lower amounts and risk getting pregnant? Good luck!

Answer 4

Go to your gynecologist immediately and ask him to give you a yeast culture test to see if it is yeast or something else.
