Vaginal Itching, Burning, and Irritation

 

Itching or irritation anywhere on the body can cause discomfort. But when it occurs in an area as sensitive as the vagina and vulva (the labia, clitoris, and vaginal opening), it can be especially uncomfortable. Most genital itching and irritation isn't a major concern. But because they can be symptoms of an infection, it's always a good idea to call your health care provider.

What causes vaginal itching, burning, and irritation?

There are several common causes of vaginal itching, burning, and irritation, including:
  • Bacterial vaginosis. It's normal to have a healthy mix of bacteria in the vagina. But the wrong bacteria growing there can lead to an infection. Besides itching, other symptoms that come with bacterial vaginosis are inflammation, burning, discharge, and a fishy-smelling odor.
  • Sexually transmitted disease (STDs). Chlamydia, genital herpes, genital warts, trichomoniasis, gonorrhea and other organisms can cause vaginal/vulvar itching and irritation and other symptoms.
  • Yeast infection (vaginal candidiasis). About three out of every four women will develop a yeast infection at some point in their lives. Yeast infections occur when the yeast, candida, grow excessively in the vagina and vulva. Pregnancy, intercourse, antibiotics, and a weakened immune system can all make women more likely to get a yeast infection. In addition to itching and irritation, a yeast infection will produce a thick, white, cheesy discharge.
  • Menopause. The drop in estrogen production that occurs at the end of a woman's reproductive years can cause the vaginal walls to thin and dry out. This can lead to itching and irritation. Thinning of the vaginal walls is also a problem in some women who breastfeed.
  • Chemical irritants. A number of chemical substances, including creams, douches, condoms, contraceptive foams, laundry detergents, soaps, scented toilet paper, and fabric softeners can irritate the vagina and vulva.
  • Lichen sclerosis . This is a rare condition that causes thin white patches to form on the skin, especially around the vulva. The patches can permanently scar the vaginal area. Postmenopausal women are most likely to develop this condition.

    How are vaginal itching, burning, and irritation treated?

    Vaginal irritation will often get better on its own. However, if the irritation continues, is severe, or comes back after treatment, call for an appointment with your doctor. The doctor can do a pelvic exam. The doctor will probably also take a sample of the discharge to find the source of the problem.

    How vaginal discomfort is treated depends on what condition is causing the problem:

  • Vaginosis and STDs are treated with antibiotics/antiparasitics.
  • Yeast infections are treated with antifungal medications. They are inserted into the vagina in the form of creams, ointments, or suppositories, or they are taken orally. You can buy these medications over the counter in different doses -- one-day, three-day, seven-day. However, if you've never been diagnosed with a yeast infection, see your doctor before taking any over-the-counter medication.
  • Menopause-related itching may be treated with estrogen cream, tablets, or a vaginal moisturizer.
  • Other types of itching and irritation respond to steroid creams or lotions, which reduce inflammation. A prescription-strength steroid cream can relieve the irritation of lichen sclerosis.
    • In young girls, it's important to report any itching, burning, or irritation to a health care provider, because these symptoms can be signs of sexual abuse.

    Are there home remedies for vaginal itching, burning, and irritation?

    Here are a few tips for preventing and treating vaginal irritation at home:

  • Avoid scented pads or toilet paper, creams, bubble bath, feminine sprays, and douches.
  • Use water and a plain, unscented soap to regularly clean your external genital area. But don't wash more than once a day. Doing so can increase dryness.
  • Always wipe from front to back after having a bowel movement.
  • Wear cotton panties (no synthetic fabrics), and change your underwear every day.
  • Do not douche.
  • Change the diapers of infant girls regularly.
  • Use condoms during sexual intercourse to help prevent sexually transmitted diseases.
  • If you are experiencing vaginal dryness, use a vaginal moisturizer. Apply a water-based lubricant (K-Y, Astroglide) before having sex.
  • Avoid sexual intercourse until your symptoms improve.
  • Don't scratch -- you can further irritate the area.

    The Guild of Medical Directors, a body of owners of private hospitals in Nigeria, has reacted to video claims by Dr. Stella Immanuel, a General Practitioner in the U.S. that she has treated over 350 patients of COVID-19 with a combination of Hydrochloroquine, Zinc and Zithromax, saying it is her own personal, unsubstantiated claim.

    In a statement signed by the President of GMD, Prof. Olufemi Babalola in Abuja on Tuesday, the body said: “there is no scientific evidence to prove the claim.”

    The Nigerian-born and trained physician is trending on social media after delivering a speech on COVID-19 in the U.S. on Monday.

    She said at a news conference held by a group of American doctors under the aegis of “America’s Frontline Doctors” in front of the U.S. Supreme Court.

     in Washington DC that the antimalarial drug — hydroxychloroquine, zinc and antibacterial drug — Zithromax, were effective cures for the coronavirus disease.

    The doctors held a two-day “White Coat Summit” at the Capitol Hill to address what they call “massive disinformation campaign” surrounding the virus.

    Immanuel, who was joined by other frontline doctors, said she had treated no fewer than 350 patients with hydroxychloroquine, zinc, and Zithromax.

    However, the GMD president stated that research on the efficacy of the combination of Hydrochloroquine, Zinc and Zithromax to treat COVID-19 had yet to be concluded.

    He noted that “we have watched with dismay the viral video of Dr. Stella Immanuel, a doctor in the United States of America.

    “The video has been shared all over the country and led to many people justifiably asking the question, ‘What do you think, doctor?.

    “The video was part of a news conference held in America.”

    Babalola stated that the group was founded by Dr. Simone Gold, a board-certified physician and attorney, made up of medical doctors who came together to address what the group termed “massive disinformation campaign” about the coronavirus.

    The guild president noted that while some studies suggested that it was effective, others felt otherwise.

    He added that “it is true that Senegal, where HCQ is routinely used, has one of the lowest COVID-19 case fatality rates in the world at 0.64 per cent compared to 3.4 per cent in the U.S.

    “As we speak, a study is underway at Lagos University Teaching Hospital on its efficacy and safety. Subsequently, a meta-analysis of all these studies should be undertaken to pool all the results and come up with analysis which will guide clinicians.

    “So, until then, all anecdotal claims such as the one from Dr. Stella Immanuel must be taken with a pinch of salt.”

    Babalola stated that HCQ may be a cause of serious complications and even death in some people, stressing that other anecdotal claims such as the herbal mixture from Madagascar had subsequently been proven ineffective.

    He stated that the Guild of Medical Directors is a body of owners of private hospitals in Nigeria “and collectively, we are responsible for the management of about 70 per cent of the healthcare needs of Nigerians.

    “So, a lot of the burden in explaining the problem as related to the video naturally falls on us. Therefore, we feel it is pertinent to explain or clarify the issues for Nigerians.

    “We must reiterate that Coronavirus is real and COVID-19 is an indiscriminate killer.

    “We know from personal experience since it has killed many doctors and nurses all over the country, including our very own Prof. Lovett Lawson.

     The disease is definitely not a joke.”

    He, therefore, condemned the politicisation of the pandemic, noting that the whole world was actively looking for effective treatment and vaccine for the disease.

    “So, until then, everyone has a responsibility to remain safe and protect one another through proven ways.

    “These are — social distancing, wearing of face mask and frequent hand washing and respiratory hygiene.”
