subject: How To Stop Vaginal Burning And Itching [print this page] If you would like to know how to stop vaginal burning and itching, just a few simple steps could be all you need. By far the most common reason for this is Bacterial Vaginosis, which is caused by an imbalance of the naturally occurring bacteria in and around the vaginal area. Another common cause is thrush or yeast infection.
Very often, to make matters worse, the vaginal burning and itching is accompanied by other symptoms, such as discharge and bad odor. However, whatever the symptoms, rest assured you needn't suffer for long. If it's bacterial vaginosis, the discharge is likely to be watery, if it's a yeast infection, the discharge will be white and clumpy.
Soothing the affected area is really important. One good way to do this is to add a couple of cups of cider vinegar to a warm shallow bath. This can help to neutralise the condition and give some relief. Very often, you might be aggravating the condition by using perfumed products around the area and overwashing. Whatever you do, avoid washing more than twice daily and only use simple, unperfumed soaps.
Some women also find natural yogurt to be really helpful to stop vaginal burning and itching. If you get hold of the live variety, this is rich in beneficial bacteria which can help to replenish depleted supplies in the vagina which could be causing the problem. Although messy, natural yogurt is very soothing and non-irritant, even in this sensitive area.
Synthetic panties can cause the vaginal area to "overheat" and this in itself can sometimes cause irritation and burning. Try to stick to wearing cotton panties as these will allow air to circulate around the vagina.
