I'm 16,virgin and I thought I had a yeast infeaction.then tried douching ...thank you mom...and well after that I got my period and It stoped itching but now it itching again around the vagina hole..I recently tried shaving and it's a another irritation factor right now..what do? ;(

sounds like a pretty bad yeast infection, bacteria infection, or urinary tract infection. theyre all basically the same thing, and cause a lot of the same symptoms. I was about your age when I started to get them, and now I get them almost every 3 months, usually before my period. see your doctor, they'll prescribe some antibitics and it'll be gone in no time. or you can try over the counter monostat, but its pretty messy.

Sounds like another yeast infection. You may try to eat lots of plain yogurt or put it directly on your privates. 

Actually, all healthy women have bacteria and other organisms in the vagina. The balance of organisms and the normal acidity of the vagina both act to prevent overgrowth of specific organisms, leading to symptoms of a vaginal infection. Douching disturbs the normal environment of the vagina, which can lead to inflammation and further imbalance of the organisms normally present in the vaginal canal. This can result in symptoms such as chronic vaginal discharge and discomfort. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and most doctors recommend that women avoid douching unless specifically prescribed by a doctor. The body has a natural way of cleansing the vaginal canal by itself. Douching is not believed to have any health benefits and may actually worsen vaginal symptoms.
