Guest guest Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Hi- I'm new to this group. There are so many messages here and I'm trying to find an answer to my question. I have had vulvar itch for over a year now. It seems to just come and go. I've been treated many times for yeast and bacterial infections, but I don't have any since nothing is working. I went off my low-estrogen birth control pill because I heard low estrogen can cause this and that didn't help either. I've also heard that this has to do with a vitamin D deficiency. If anyone has any answers, suggestions, etc., I would GREATLY appreciate it! Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should probably stop self-medicating: if it was me, I would have a test for candida and if there is no candida, I would not treat for thrush. Topical anti-fungals can make matters much worse.
