A member asked:

After one week of menstruation, my vagina is so dry and itchy..what could be the cause?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Vulvar or vaginal?: If it is vulvar dryness and itching, irritation from tampons and pads, especially the products have been kept in place too long. Intravaginal itching/dryness may be due to a vaginal infection or the low estrogen level of the menstrual phase.
