Description
An itch around the anus and genitals that is persistent and often severe and uncomfortable. It could be due to infection, allergies or poor hygiene.
When to See a Doctor
Seek professional care if you experience any of the following symptoms
Increase in vaginal discharge
Intermenstrual bleeding
Possible Causes
- Atrophic vaginitis
A condition where the vaginal surface becomes dry and thin. This is commonly seen after menopause, due to a decrease in female hormone levels. Symptoms include itching and painful intercourse.
- Candida vulvovaginitis
This is a fungal infection by Candida that affects the vaginal area. Candida normally exists on skin linings with no issues. An infection occurs when the vaginal skin changes in character such that it promotes an overgrowth of Candida. People with weakened immune system or are on birth control pills may be at increased risk.
- Descent of uterus / uterine prolapse
Protrusion of the uterus (womb) outside of the body. This happens when the muscles and tissues that support the womb become weakened (e.g. after repeated childbirths, aging), allowing the womb to drop out.
- Trichomoniasis
- Bacterial vaginosis
- Crab louse
Condyloma Acuminatum
- Genital herpes
- Vaginitis
- Vulval cancer
