Accepted Answer

Cholestasis : Cholestasis typically causes total body itching. It most often occurs in the 3rd trimester. There are many other common causes of vaginal itching. Schedule a visit with your Obgyn for an exam and testing.

Question 2

vaginal itch since 4 days, scratched hard, now itches after urination. no pain or discharge. periods due in a day or two. anything to be worried?

Accepted Answer

Itching to see MD?: Your vaginal itching, unless caused by a soap or contact chemical should be evaluated for a vaginal infection and Rx by a MD. A yeast caused vulvo- vaginitis is the most likely culprit.

Question 3

vaginal itch, clumpy white discharge, no odor. took one dose diflucan (fluconazole) yesterday. still itches and uncomfortable especially when sitting. ??

Accepted Answer

Diflucan (fluconazole) takes days: Diflucan (fluconazole) takes a few days to treat a more stubborn yeast infection.  Itching indicates that the yeast is deep enough to create enough inflammation to trigger nerve endings.  So if after a week, the itching does not go away, i usually recommend using an OTC antifungal cream externally to finish the job.  If that does not help, see your GYN.

Question 4
