A member asked:

Why are my vaginal flaps itchy and sore?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Vaginitis: It could be yeast, bacterial infection, sexually transmitted infection or even atrophy causing your irritation. You should consult with you doctor but could try over the counter medication prior to that. There are also vaginal ph tests that are available over the counter which may help.
