Unclear question: It is unclear what you are asking. If your genitals are itching and you had sex then STDs such as pubic lice, scabies and herpes are possible. If you meant that you recently shaved then this can cause itching. Vaginal odor can be a sign of infections like trichomoniasis and bacterial vaginosis. Not sure what you mean by referring Ohio.

Here are some ...: Shaving genital area has become common to mentally satisfy some fascinated adults with no known physical merit, but resulting in multiple adverse effects such as itch, ingrown hairs, etc. As to smell of genital region, it is known to widely vary among individuals, largely related with personal unique secretions of eccrine and apocrine glands. So, see Doc for evaluation and counseling...

Get tested: You should have a urine test to check for an STI. Shaving can cause irritation at times, but if you normally keep your genital hair short and trimmed and do not have itching problems this is worrisome. It would be easy to order a urine test from a qualified laboratory and get the results. I would recommend abstaining from sexual intercourse until you have an answer. Any other symptoms?
