What Causes Vaginal Health?
Although you say you have no infections you are aware of, it is impossible to rule out infection with certainty without an examination; therefore, you should see your gynecologist for a complete evaluation. There are several reasons other than infection for genital itching. Sensitivity to soaps or detergents is one; it is best to wash the genitals with plain warm water, and avoid scented toilet papers and sanitary pads. Menopause in and of itself can contribute to itching. The lack of estrogen that occurs after menopause leads to thin, dry, sensitive vaginal tissues.
