Will vaginal itching keep coming back?

Vaginal itching may come back after treatment. There are strategies you can adopted to prevent its recurrence, such as: avoiding douching; when going to the bathroom, wiping from front to back to avoid contaminating your vagina with bacteria from fecal matter; choosing underwear made from natural fibers, as synthetic fibers can promote sweating, and; practicing safe sex to reduce the risk of acquiring sexually transmitted infections. If you are experiencing vaginal itching, it is important to see your doctor to diagnose and treat the cause and to exclude more serious conditions that may be causing this symptom.
