I am 4 months pregnant and my vagina is very itchy and uncomfortable. why?

Changes..: Certainly there are hormonal changes with pregnancy that will cause unusual symptoms, however if you are experiencing vaginal itching especially if having more than usual discharge you should get seen by your OB provider to confirm yeast infection along with other concomitant infections and be treated appropriately.

Time to see your OB: Many women get yeast infections or overgrowth of Gardnerella during pregnancy. Only one way to know for sure and safely get treated, see OB. You should call today, because preterm labor can sometimes result from vaginitis or urinary tract infection. To keep your baby healthy, and to keep yourself comfortable, see your doc today.
