Why is it itching 'down there'? - ONLY LADIES.?

I am a recently married woman. For the last few days, my feminine organ is itching a lot. It does not continue all the time...some times it itches and then stops. It is very difficult to stop from scratching when it itches and is becoming a cause for big embarassment for me. Many times the itching starts when I am in the bus/road and I have to touch that area in public.

The itch is not around the region - it feels it is itching inside the area...please help. Should i visit a doctor? It is very shameful for a Indian lady to go to a man and show him the place. Is there any medicine I can take without showing to doctor?

Help please - ONLY LADIES.

What is thrush? Please let me know what medicine?

see,if you want a remedy,then its simple.........just apply coconut oil to that area daily before going to bed.in about 2 days you 'll find that the itching has gone.but if the problem still persists,then you 'll have to visit a doctor.the cause of the itching can be any vaginal infection also.if you have seen any white discharge [a white sticky substance] then its surely some infection.if you are shy,visit a good lady gynaec.it will surely help you.

Sounds like a simple case of thrush to me. In that case you do not have to see a doctor, you can go to a pharmacy and get over-the-counter medication for it. It might be an idea to speak to the pharmacist privately first but from the sounds of it, it does sound like thrush.

Thrush is a yeast infection. Canesten is the treatment available over the counter. Hope that helps!

Maybe your husband gave you a venerrial disease. Check your doctor.

Devika, it is embarassing for all of us to have to go the doctor for our examines, but that is exactly what you need to do. The causes for the symptoms are many and you need to see a doctor to determine exactly what is wrong. It may be something as simple as a yeast infection but the only way to be sure is to see your doctor. Do you have a woman friend or relative that you can discuss this with and might be able to go with you? Please do not let this go untreated.

Sounds to me like you may have a yeast infection. Go get you some Monostat cream from your local pharmacy. It is sold over the counter. Use it as directed. If that does not help you, then I suggest seeing your OB/GYN.

lots of women get thrush. Its bacteria that lives in warm moist areas like the vagina or mouth. It can be caused by taking antibiotics, tight underwear, a reaction to soap or something but its pretty harmless .... except it will drive you crazy itching and feels uncomfortable ...

You can get heaps of over the counter products, creams, tablets etc to treat thrush and they work really well.

Go to the chemist or drug store and ask for somethign for thrush or a yeast infection ....

If that doesnt work, it could be somethign you got from your husband. In that case, find a lady doctor and tell her about the problem so you feel more comfortable and its not as shameful as seeing a male doctor ...

Hope that helps ...

Common causes of vaginal itching include:

Chemical irritants --
Vaginal yeast infection --
Vaginitis --
Menopause --
Stress --

To prevent and treat vaginal itching:

Keep your genital area clean and dry. Use plain, unscented soap.
Avoid colored or perfumed toilet tissue and bubble bath.
Wear cotton panties or pantyhose with a cotton crotch.
Avoid panties made from synthetic materials.
Change out of wet clothing, especially wet bathing suits or exercise clothing, as soon as possible.
Avoid feminine hygiene sprays and douches.
Eat yogurt with live cultures.
Cleanse by wiping or washing from front to back (vagina to anus) after urinating or having a bowel movement.
Lose weight if you are over weight.
Keep your blood sugars under good control if you have diabetes.

It is also helpful to:

Avoid scratching, which will only aggravate the problem.
Avoid overexertion, heat, and excessive sweating.
Delay sexual activity until your symptoms get better or at least use a lubricant during intercourse.


If you know that you have a yeast infection try over-the-counter creams or vaginal suppositories.

Go to a woman doctor, not a man doctor. That's what I always do. There are also woman indian doctors out there too if you feel even better about the cutural side.

Your itching could be something your husband may have passed onto you. Please get this checked. It could also be thrush, which is common. And could mean your husband is simply aggravating what is already a problem there.

Thrush is caused by yeast overgrowth. You would need to get this treated, but at the sametime you'd be wise to eliminate sugars out of your diet, as this feeds yeast inside the body, which may make your problem even worse. I'd avoid sugar and yeast in your diet, at least until things are back in balance (if your below problem is caused by thrush that is).

do seek professional help to make sure of what it is. Don't be embarrassed, this is very common and going to a lady doctor will be fine.

Sounds like a yeast infection. Monistat is good but they have a lot at the drugstore. But if it doesn't' work, I would go to a gyno. I have a woman doctor. Go to rule out anything else. Good luck!

Hey if you are so shy then visit a female Gynaecologist. Do not delay it could just be something small and silly but your thoughts and condition can only be put to rest by a doctor.
Do so first ......... happy married life to you.

It is,probably,an infection caused by Candida albicans.It is a funghi and every second woman in the world has it.Nothing to worry about.Just go to a pharmacy store and buy a cream that contains clotrimalozum which you can buy without a prescription , but you must go to a doctor to give you a prescription for tablets.You won t solve a problem without those tablets. DIFLUCAN TBL.

It's common for women to have some problems when they begin having sex. Vagisil works well if you itch on the outside, if it is inside you may have a uterine tract infection, you'll have to get antibiotics from a Dr. to clear it up. You can start with Miconazole Nitrate suppositories to see if that will clear it up. (it is over the counter and comes with cream for instant relief, look for it by the feminine products.) If it doesn't work you'll have to get to the Dr. because if you let an infection go for a long period of time and it is a uterine tract infection, you'll be in a lot of pain and the infection can spread to your kidneys. Can you go see a woman Dr.? Don't forget to pee after you have sex, everytime... it'll prevent an infection. Cranberry juice helps to prevent infection also. Try to drink a cup of it a day or you can buy it in capsule form. (However peeing after sex and cranberry juice are preventatives and won't clear up the infection if you already have one.) I hope this helps.

It may be thrush.

The main symptom is itching. You may also feel a burning soreness and this can be accompanied by a whitish discharge that resembles cottage cheese. There may also be a yeast like smell.

Thrush can be treated with Canesten, which you can purchase over the counter. You can buy it in pill form. You should see an improvement in your symptoms within 24 hours.

HTH : )

wash your junk off real nice like.

it seems like a problem of yeast infection.you can get over the counter medicine candid-v ointment for this.if this doesnt seem to cure better consult a gynae or u can also try homeo medicine.it works.

Do not take any medicine without consulting a doctor. The medicin may solve your problem, but will creat another side efect. so visit a lady doctor, no problem with that. when u will become pregnant you have to show your private organs to doctors, so dont worry for that.

use for,There are many itch creams. Go to a pharmacy buy some and try them. Read the labels before purchase, to be used as, internal or external application. They may have few that can be used in both places.

If they do not work then see a doctor(if you do not wish to see a male doctor see a female Gynaecologist, or Urologist).

Hello, your symptoms could have a number of causes, including most of those above, and others, such as diabetes, though you would most likely have had other symptoms if the latter was the case. In the UK you can get a local anaesthetic ointment to apply to the area, which numbs it, but if the itching is because of something, it's important to tackle the cause. How about going to a female doctor? There are plenty, and they are used to seeing people with that same problem ALL the time, so although it feels odd and embarrassing to you, they won't bat an eyelid and you needn't feel any embarassment at all. Chances are though, it may be to do with your husband's hygiene of his own provate parts, in which case you may need to discuss it with him, but i would suggest going to a female doctor as a first step. All the best.

you might be having any kind of bacterial infection and if this itching started after having sex with your husband then u can suspect any std. Dont jump on to any conclusions and consult a gyn. soon!
