Hi,

Thanks for writing to us about it.

I can understand your concern here.

There are so many reasons for vaginal itching, so before giving my opinion I want to ask a few questions from you.

Is vaginal itching associated with any discharge and odor?

What is the color of discharge?

Is she using any type of contraceptive pills?

Any other associated symptoms?

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Nice to hear from you once again.

With your history and symptoms it is most probably due to fungal( yeast) infection.

She should follow these advices-

-Keep the vaginal area dry and clean.
-Use cotton underwear
-Do not use soap, perfume, tampoon.
-Use antifungal cream or suppository for local use.
-Use antifungal tablet( fluconazole ) one singal dose
-Drink a lot of water
-Take healthy and balanced diet

If it will not resolve in a week than consult a gynaecologist and get yourself examine to rule out the cause.

Hope it is useful.

Good luck.
