I am experiencing a lot of itiching coming from my vaginal area. My boyfriend and I just recently had sex and this is the first time I ve had sex in about 4 months. After we had sex I began to bleed like a period but it has been 2 weeks now and I m having a lot of discomfort and a lot of itching. What should I do?
Hi. It can be due to fungal or yeast infection of the vagina causing itching and bleeding on having intercourse. So the first thing that you need to do is to consult a Gynecologist and get examined. If a clinical examination is not sufficient then a vaginal swab culture can be done to rule out the nature of infection. If fungal infection is confirmed then you can be advised oral antifungal medicines like Fluconazole, Itraconazole etc. and along with it using vaginal antifungal ointments like Clotrimazole and pessaries can be advised. For now to control itching take anti histamines like Levocetrizine and maintain a good hygiene. Chat Doctor. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
