What Causes Vaginal Itching Even After Maintaining Hygiene?
I have been married for 4 months already and about a month ago I had slight vaginal itching. I was wondering what the cause might be as I am very much meticulous with hygiene. I noticed that after my husband and I have sex I noticed itching which goes away with proper cleaning. However, the past week the itching just wont stop and I notice increase vaginal discharges. No foul smell is noted and the discharge is just white but not the cottage-cheese consistency in yeast infection. What might be the problem with me? Thanks.
