10 Symptoms and Treatments of Bacterial Vaginosis

3. Itching

Itching of the vagina can be incredibly uncomfortable on a day-to-day basis, but sadly one that many women tend to just ‘live with' instead of seeing a doctor. It is also a common symptom of a yeast infection, otherwise known as thrush. When a woman starts to itch in and around the vagina, the most common response is that they are suffering from a bout of thrush, but is not always the case. The irregular pH balance in your body and the bacteria that are forming inside can also cause itching. Itching is a symptom that does not go unnoticed, so you should definitely see your women's health professional as soon as possible.
