What causes vaginal itchiness?
Itching of the vulva (the part of the body around the vaginal entrance) is a distressing problem for many women. Often it will be put down as ‘just another attack of thrush’ and anti-thrush creams may be used to relieve the discomfort. Although thrush — a yeast infection called Candida — is certainly a common cause of this problem, there are many other reasons why intense itching may occur in the vulval area. Stress and anxiety can produce many different symptoms, including vulval itching.
