Most women assume that when they experience feminine itching that it is thrush, but there are several different triggers that could lead to itching.

Some non-infection triggers could be:

• Wearing tight clothing
• Wearing synthetic materials
• Periods
• Allergic reactions
• Dermatological causes
• Perspiration
• Vaginal dryness
• Sexual activity

If the itching is accompanied by changes in vaginal discharge and in some cases odour, the chances are that there is a vaginal infection. It's very important that the infection be diagnosed correctly. Make an appointment to see your doctor or visit your Well Woman clinic as soon as possible.
