Why im having vaginial itching?
My question is why is vaginia itching so bad to the point when i scratch it my vaginial lips tend to puff up like a cauliflower and the only way for the swelling to go down is if i soak myself in a hot bath and the itching stops few minutes but my vaginial lips are still swollen such that i can't share my sex with my husband because i feel pain,help me pliz.

Hi Nancy
I am not a doctor but I am guessing that one strong possibility is that you may have a yeast infection. This is not a sexually transmitted disease. And it is very common for a woman to get at least one of these in your lifetime.
Here is an article that I just wrote about yeast infections.
But you really do need to get seen by your doctor or gynecologist because it may be something else. Don't suffer needlessly. Please make an appointment.
