Why does my vagina itch during the period?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

At the young age of 11, itching around the time period may be just a minor infection. Usual infections are respiratory infections or urinary infections. If you have any respiratory infection, suppose you cough into your hands later if you wash your genitals with the same hands after using the washroom. This will transmit the infection to the vaginal area, and you will get itching around the area. The same is true with urinary infections. When you have periods, the vascularity of the vagina and surrounding area is increased. When the vascularity increases, the infection flares up, and you get itching. Another possibility is just skin dryness. To get relief, follow these suggestions;

1. Wash the perineum and area around the vagina with a vaginal wash or bland washes.

2. Do not use rough soaps. Use mild antibiotics for respiratory infections.

3. use some mild Aloe vera cream or moisturizing cream locally after the bath.

4. Use only cotton undergarments. Avoid synthetic or nylon undergarments. Do not use them at night.

5. Try to keep the perineal as dry as possible.

6. If itching is significant, I suggest you apply any of the antifungal plus antibiotic cream twice a day for three to five days.

Thank you.
