vaginapagina | Itching off and on (Reply)

Hi ladies. I've been having an issue and I wonder if you can help me.

For about the past week and a half, off and on I've had an itchy vulva and some vaginal dryness. It's usually worst at the end of the day and generally not too bad in the morning. There isn't any unusual discharge or smell and I'm feeling fine otherwise. I don't think it's a YI because I've had them before and this isn't the same. Whatever it is, it's driving me nuts because I don't want to have sex until this is fixed, but I don't know what's causing it!

I've got a couple of thoughts about what might be affecting me: I've been going to the gym more often lately, I've been a little stressed out, it's been a super hot summer so far, my period is due in a couple of days, and the last time I had sex (which was about a week and a half ago, the same time that the itching started) I used Astroglide, which I normally don't do.

I wear only cotton panties and I've been washing externally twice daily with the Summer's Eve wash for sensitive skin. I can't go to the GYN right now because I won't have health coverage until the first of August.

So does anyone know what's causing this? Do you have any advice?
