Doctor can evaluate: A normal vagina should have no bothersome symptoms like itching. There may be an imbalance in the normal acidity (pH) and the normal colonizing bacteria inside the vagina, perhaps even some overgrowth of yeast. If one has had sex, there can be more varieties of infectious problems or simply friction damage. Sometimes a person is allergic to a condom's components.
