Quick answers

Itching & dryness, in brief

Common causes

Infection, skin conditions, allergy/irritants, and the dryness of menopause as oestrogen falls.

Dryness & menopause

Falling oestrogen thins and dries the tissues — very common after menopause, and very treatable.

Treatment

The right treatment for the cause — antifungal, soothing or hormonal, as needed.

When to see a doctor

Persistent itching, soreness, dryness affecting daily life or intimacy, or any skin change.

01 / Understanding it

Finding the cause of the itch

Persistent vaginal itching, irritation or dryness is common, uncomfortable, and nearly always treatable — but because it has several different causes, the key is finding which one, rather than reaching for the nearest cream. Treating the wrong cause often fails or prolongs the irritation.

The usual causes are infections (such as thrush); skin conditions affecting the delicate area; allergy or irritation from soaps, products or hygiene wipes; and — very commonly — the dryness that follows menopause, when falling oestrogen thins and dries the tissues, causing itching, soreness and discomfort during intimacy. In younger women, hormonal changes and some skin conditions can do the same.

Dr. Agarwal takes a quick, private history, examines where needed, and treats the specific cause: the right medicine for an infection, gentle measures and avoiding irritants for sensitive skin, and simple, effective treatment for menopausal dryness (including local oestrogen or moisturisers where appropriate). Most women get real relief quickly — and no concern here is too embarrassing to raise.

07 / Your questions, answered

Itching & dryness questions

What causes vaginal itching?
Common causes are infections (like thrush), skin conditions, allergy or irritation from products, and — especially after menopause — dryness from falling oestrogen. Finding the right cause is what gets the right, fast-working treatment.
Why am I dry down there after menopause?
As oestrogen falls after menopause, the tissues become thinner and drier, causing itching, soreness and discomfort during intimacy. It is very common and very treatable, including with local oestrogen or moisturisers.
Can I just use a cream from the pharmacy?
It may help if the cause is what the cream treats — but if the cause is different (dryness, a skin condition, allergy), it can fail or prolong the irritation. A quick check gets you the right treatment.
Is dryness during intimacy normal?
It is common, especially around menopause, and nothing to be embarrassed about — and there is simple, effective treatment. It is well worth raising, as it responds well to care.
Is the visit private?
Completely. These concerns are handled with full confidentiality and no judgment, and booking on WhatsApp is discreet.
Is treatment covered by insurance?
This is inexpensive out-patient care usually paid directly; any further assessment is covered by most policies, with cashless facility at Medifirst.
