Answer 1

It sounds like a yeast infection. There are products you can get from the store. There are seven-day products, three-day products, and one-day products. Although the seven-day products take longer, I personally have had problems of irritation with the three and one day products. But to each their own. Some people do fine with any of them. Eating yogurt has been known to help with the healing too.
DO NOT DOUCHE! This product was invented by a man who didn't like the way women vaginas smelled.
Douches are a vinegar mixture that is squirted up into the vagina. It's supposed to keep the vagina clean but it also washes away the natural and necessary bacteria and lubrications that the woman's body makes to keep itself healthy. Douching is a very common cause of yeast infections. Also, if used after sex to wash out semen, it's been known to simply push the sperm further inside the body, making the trip to fertilizing the egg quicker.

ok #1, DON'T DOUCHE *ever!
it is the worst thing that a woman could do for herself
if it is infact a yeast infection it could very well spread further into your vagina by using douche.
if it is on the outside of your vagina
it could just be simple"vaginal irritation"
there are topical over the counter creams that you can use for this, that can be purchased at any drug store or w..m

if it is actually itching inside the vagina then you need a "suppositoral type" yeast infection treatment, but make sure you go exactly by the directions.

if none of this works, you can see your md and if it is infact a yeast infection as if you can get diflucan it is just 1 pill that works in 24 hours.


you should also be eating yogurt , it helps to replace essetial germ fighters in the vagina while you have a yeast infection, and if you continue eating atleast 2 yogurts a week you will cut your chances significantly for getting another yeast infection.

hope it gets better soon!

Answer 4

No not douche. Repeat DO NOT douche. Douching actually removes or harms the good bacteria in your vagina.
If you are having itching but no discharge it might be something else...yeast infections normally have a thick discharge that smells. Another similiar ailment is BV...Bacteria vaginan(or something like that)
If you have never had a yeast infection before you need to go see your Dr so they can do a test and find out what you might have. different things are needed for different things.
And don't worry it might just be that you tried a new laundry soap and it's causing the itch.

Answer 6

DON'T Dousche..it's make it worst. Dousche's kill all the good bacteria and leave the bad bacteria to over grow. go to the store and get a 1-3 day yeast kit. it can't hurt. u could have "jock itch" also from swimming or from the heat. if the yeast kit doesn't clear it up go to the doctors. it could be Trichinosis (sp) also which is a bacterial infection caused from either A) u having to many sexual partners B) your partner having multiple sexual partners and not cleaning up properly..if u know what i mean or C) having anal and then having vaginal right away.

If we offered you a miracle remedy that cure "Pruritus/Itching of Vulva" would you buy it? Certainly you would. You won’t find it in a Pharmacy but at the Grocery Store.

Try the Natural Cures for Pruritus/Itching of Vulva.

Pruritus literally means a sensation of itching and vulva is the name given to the entrance to the vagina. It is a symptom, not a disease in itself. At least 10% of women all over the world suffer from this complaint.

Pruritus vulvae is generally relieved through scratching in the initial stages. At a later stage, the patient develops a burning sensation in this region. This can intensify to such an extent that women suffering from this complaint prefer to remain indoors and refuse to go out. This problem occurs more during the night. The patient may scratch the area during sleep and wake to find that she has made herself bleed.

Causes: One of the main causes of pruritus vulvae is purulent and mucopurulent vaginal discharge. Due to this discharge, the vulva region chafes. The resulting tenderness causes pain. Over 80% of these cases occur due to this cause. Prorates without vaginal discharge occurs in 15-20% of the cases.

In some cases prorates vulvae may develop due to the presence of skin diseases not specific to the vulva such as psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, and scabies. Other causes include animal and vegetable parasite infections which tend to cause pruritus public rather than pruritus vulvae, conditions of the urinary track like continence of urine and pyuria. Highly acidic urine sometime causes soreness which subsequently leads to pruritus. Glycosuria and diabetes also contribute to this condition.

Pruritus vulvae can result from skin sensitivity to various kinds of soaps, bath salts, deodorants, and antiseptics which contain particular phenols and cresols and from certain drugs. These allergies may also be caused by nylons and tight-fitting clothes. In rare cases the disorders may develop as an offshoot of certain major problems like jaundice, uremia, and other toxic conditions.

Many mental disturbances can affect the sexual bias and psychoneurosis results. The skin of the vulva region can also be a site of psychoneurosis, nervous fatigue and rough clotting, sexual frustration, and guilt feelings can also lead to pruritus vulvae.

Treatments: There is always some underlying cause for the onset of pruritus, but scratching soon damages the skin and causes secondary changes which may obscure the primary cause. In addition, the skin may become sensitized to some local application. IN long standing cases, the diagnosis of both the initial cause and the reason for the maintenance of the irritation may become extremely difficult, particularly when more than one factor is involved. Successfully treatment depends on two cardinal principles, namely, to remove any underlying cause and to stop further damage to the skin by scratching or by unsuitable application.

The most important factor in the treatment of pruritus vulvae caused by infections through fungus or parasites, is cleanliness. Bowels should be kept clean either through enemas or a natural diet. The patient must wear clean clothes to avoid this problem. After urination, the vagina should be thoroughly washed with plain cold water. IN case of severe pruritus, it is advisable to wash the vulva with neem leaves decoction and apply green light charged coconut oil.

Treatments like neem water vaginal douches help kill bacteria and fungus. The affect reaction should be exposed to green colored light or rays of the sun through green colored glass for 25 to 30 minutes. This will help reduce infections.

Pruritus vulvae resulting from discharges from the uterus, cervix, or vagina causes inflammations. This can be reduced by regular application of mudpacks on the lower abdomen, twice or thrice a day. A cold hipbath may also be taken for 10 minutes. An alternate hot and cold hipbath is especially useful in reducing inflammation.

In cases of pruritus resulting from diabetes mellitus, glycosuria, uremia, jaundice, and other toxic states, specific diets and treatments for these complaints should be followed before pruritus could be cured.

Skin diseases like psoriasis, scabies, fungal infections should be treated through nature cure methods. These include steam baths, mud baths, immersion baths, sunbaths, spine baths, and chromotherapy.

Diet plays an important role in the treatment of pruritus vulvae. Initially the patient should be put on a juice fast for a few days. She should drink fruit and vegetable juices, diluted with water on 50:50 basis. A warm water enema should be used daily during the period of fasting to cleanse the bowels.

Fasting helps relieve the toxic conditions not in just the affected region but also the entire body. Thus inflammation is reduced. The diet after the juice fast could include seasonal fruits, salads, sprouts, vegetables, soups or buttermilk. Cooked food should be included in the diet only much later.

The patient should avoid all processed, refined and denatured foods such as white sugar, white flour, and all products made from them as well a s coffee, tea, eggs, meat, spicy and oily foods. Alcohol and smoking are to be completely eliminated.

A natural mode of life will go a long way in overcoming pruritus vulvae. It will also lead to improvement in health in general.

Hope this helps, Good Luck.
