HEALTH & FITNESS | YOUR BOD | DOWN THERE

Itchy down there after my period


 
I've just started my period and now, down there, has been constantly irritated! I don't want to itch but it gets so bad. Any solutions?

Resist the urge to itch! If you scratch yourself down there it could really hurt.

The number-one culprit behind itchiness during and right after your period is pads. Having a moist wad of papery fabric rubbing you the wrong way down there can cause major irritation. I know it sounds gross, but it’s sort of like diaper rash. Try switching to unscented and softer pad or a tampon.

Another possibility? Shaving. If you shave down there, the itchiness could be the result of the hair growing back in.

If neither one of these situations is the case, it is possible that you are at the beginning of a yeast infection or another type of irritation. If the pad ideas don't work or you are uncertain about anything, you should see a doc!

Hey girl,

 If you have any kind of itch or rash anywhere on your body (including down there), you should definitely go see a doctor to make sure everything's OK. It could spread to other parts of your body, depending on what the rash is, so it's better to be safe than sorry. x0x0

I'm having pain "down there" especially when I walk... Its not my vagina or where urine comes out. It doesn't even hurt to go to the bathroom at all. Its like in front of all that. I've noticed that there is some redness on the flat part in front down there, almost in like a trail going up under the hair. Its a little tender too if you push on it. I have no clue what it is but I just got my period today this month. Does this sound like anything? I'm getting kinda worried! Please help!!!




Hey girlie,

It could be a rash that has been irritated by wearing a wet bathing suit, a new soap you've started using, or some other reason. I know it sounds awkward, but you should really tell mom/an older sister about it just to make sure it isn't anything that would require an antibiotic to get rid of!

MOD MOD MOD This is gonna sound stupid but...im afraid to talk to my doctor, im afraid he will think im wierd because of the questions i have about like body and intercorse questions, and im afraid he will tell my mom all about me. i guess i could feel a little better about having a girl doctor but when i told my mom that, she said that i shouldnt feel uncomfortable at all because my doctor has been my doc since the day i was born. im also afraid of "that" checkup where he checks"down there". i know this is stupid but...help!!!!!!!!!!! thanks Smile

 

 

Oh, girl. You do not sound stupid. Please don't think that. I can see how asking your doc questions may be hard, but he is one of the best sources of reliable health info. Try asking him if he could not mention questions you ask to your mom and see how he responds. Explain to your mom that you don't feel comforable asking your doc about your changing body. Just because you've grown up going to the same male doctor doesn't mean that you will always be comfortable with him. He will understand you switching. You could even send him a  thank you for being such a good doc. About him checking down there, remember than he sees things all the time. He is a medical professional and it is his job. Personally, I see a male 'lady' doctor and it took me a little while to get used to it. Maybe you could ask your mom to come in with you for the check up?

Take the stairs more than once. When you’re at home, run up and down the stairs three or four times before heading to your room. It’s a sneaky way to stay active.
