    Re: One after the other- and now its severe vaginal itching

    hi ladies,
    use Epsom salts in warm water & wash yourself regularly especially after periods this will stop the itchiness or infection if you have.

    try the following

    1. no underwear at night
    2. apply a thick layer of vaseline petroleum jelly to the affected parts
    3. no tight clothes during the day, only cotton underwear
    4. consume lots of yogurt and cranberry juice

    Could be a yeast infection, especially if you have a burning sensation. If it does not get better with these remedies, call or go see your ob-gyn. They can give you a stronger prescription medication.

    Pavarun - Itching is on & off and rarely occuring in my case.. No burning sensation when itching.. Once I asked GYN and she gave a cream to apply.. But only when I apply cream it goes off and then comes back if I dont apply..

    Anitha,
    even i am having this itch and when i told my gynec she too gave me a medicine which makes my itch go when applied and return when not applied. But she also told me that starch from carbs makes us itch too as it helps in the growth of the yeast. So try cutting down carbs.

    It could also be because of dryness. I apply a little coconut oil there before going to bed. I feel that it is safer than anything artificial. The hot water may be drying your sensitive down under skin even more. And, I eat yogurt every night.

    itching is it common?

    Hello Everybody,

    i am 32 weeks pregnant. since, last weeek i having itching on my lower abdominal stomach and got red stretch marks on my stomach. is it common? I heard that when our stomach will stretch more the skin will become dry and itching will occur.
    I also heard that if itching is more it will cause premature birth is it true?
    i am so worried about this ? please let me know if anybody faced this problem before? I am applying olive oil daily. Shall i contact my doctor regarding this? Please advice me.

    Thanks in advance
    Neeru
