My vagina is always itchy after a period. What should I do?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I usually have a slight on and off vaginal itching after my periods, for which I consulted a doctor. She advised me to take two tablets of Candiforce 200 and it stopped. However, these days I still have light vaginal itching on and off. My period date is on the 28th. Kindly help as I am worried.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I suggest you do a high vaginal swab (HVS) to rule out any infection as it will also tell you which medicines will suit you.

Follow up with the report.
