Vaginal Itching Care in Bangalore
Vaginal or vulvar itching can be distressing and disruptive. It may relate to infection, skin conditions, hormonal changes, or irritants — and the right treatment depends on identifying the cause rather than repeated antifungal use.

Understanding this area of care
A clear overview to help you know what to expect before your consultation.
Itching without discharge may still indicate candida, bacterial vaginosis, or a non-infectious cause such as lichen sclerosus, eczema, or contact dermatitis from soaps or products. Postmenopausal itching may relate to vaginal dryness and atrophy. Examination and targeted testing guide appropriate care.

Treatment & management overview
Options depend on your history, examination findings, and preferences.
Antifungal or antibiotic treatment addresses infectious causes. Non-infectious itching may need topical steroids, emollients, elimination of irritants, or hormone cream for atrophy. Lichen sclerosus requires specific long-term management. Repeated self-treatment without diagnosis often prolongs symptoms.
Frequently asked questions
Clear answers to common questions — for personal advice, please book a consultation.
Why does itching return after antifungal treatment?
Why does itching return after antifungal treatment?
Recurrent itching may mean the cause was not candida, or that an underlying factor such as diabetes, antibiotic use, or a skin condition needs attention. Clinical evaluation helps prevent repeated incorrect treatment.
Can menopause cause vaginal itching?
Can menopause cause vaginal itching?
Yes. Lower oestrogen after menopause can cause vaginal dryness and thinning (atrophy), leading to itching and discomfort. Local oestrogen or moisturisers may help when this is the cause.
Could itching be a skin condition and not infection?
Could itching be a skin condition and not infection?
Yes. Conditions such as lichen sclerosus, eczema, and contact dermatitis can cause significant itching without infection. Examination is important because these conditions need specific treatment.
