Suggest Remedies For Vaginal Itching Post Intercourse
Hi. I am 18yrs old. I had sex with my boyfriend and since the next day I am experiencing severe itching in the entrance of the vagina in the morning and at night. The rest of the day the itching isn t that bad. What is it and what can I do to stop the itching?
Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. I understand your concern. Itching sensation what you are having following intercourse could be due to inflammation around the vaginal region. Kindly do the following to overcome it. 1. Clean the area with mild antiseptic solution like Savlon twice daily. 2. After drying, apply Neomycin with Hydrocortisone cream over the region. 3. Take Tablet. Levocetirizine once a day to overcome itching. 4. Apply moisturizing cream over the region at bedtime. 5. Wear loose fitting undergarments to avoid friction. 6. Abstain from sexual activities till the symptoms subside completely. Maintain good personal hygiene. Gradually, your symptoms should subside completely. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
