🌸 DO YOU EXPERIENCE FREQUENT VAGINAL ITCHING?
Many people experience vaginal or v***ar itching and immediately assume, “It must be yeast infection.”Not necessarily!
Vaginal itching is a symptom, not a diagnosis. Different conditions can cause similar symptoms, and the right treatment depends on the actual cause.
1. HEAT, SWEAT & MOISTURE
Nigeria's hot weather can make the ge***al area sweaty. Moisture and friction can irritate sensitive skin.
✍️ Keep the area dry, change sweaty clothes and wear breathable underwear.
2) STIs:
Some s*xually transmitted infections can cause itching, unusual discharge, burning during urination, sores or pelvic discomfort.
✍️ If there has been a possible exposure testing is important
3) HYGIENE -TOO LITTLE OR TOO MUCH

4) MENSTRUAL HYGIENE:
leaving menstrual products on for too long can contribute to moisture and irritation,change them regularly and keep the external area clean and dry.
5) PERFUMES PRODUCTS:
your itching could sometimes be a reaction to something touching the skin;scented soaps, sanitary products,wet wipes, detergents/fabric softeners, perfumes vaginal products,some lubricants if a product causes irritation stop using it.
