I have had vaginal itching for the last 3
days. It's not constant and there is
absolutely no discharge or odor. I
thought it might be a yeast infection but
how can it be if there is absolutey no
discharge. In fact it seems to be overly
dry. It is also, a little swollen and
red. I haven't noticed any bumps or
anything like that. Anybody know what
could be the problem?

I would consider anything new or changed,
like, body soap, laundry detergent, fabric
softener, even new undies, if you're
sexually active new condoms, spermicide,
partners new soap, laundry detergent etc.
Maybe it's an allergic reaction.
There's also the fact that i'm not sure
that a yeast infection has to have
discharge or odour, it still might be a
yeast infection, maybe really low grade.
If it was me i'd go to the doctor, or I
might just try an over the counter
medication for yeast infection and see if
that helps.

I will try the medicine first since I just
started a new job and my insurance hasn't
kicked in yet. Thank you!

The above advice is great. Yes, it still
could be a yeast infection, so it wouldn't
hurt to try the medicine. It could also
be bacterial vaginosis. Itching isn't a
normal symptom I don't think, but I get
really itchy when I have it. Do you have
a family planning type clinic you can go
to? It would be cheaper since you don't
have insurance.
