Should I tell my doctor about this problem? I can't handle it.

Something similar happened to me; when the itching started, I first thought it was a fungus, so I got a cream from the pharmacy, but it didn't go away. Then I went to a gynecologist, and it turned out to be a vaginal infection. Honestly, I didn't need to be that scared, the doctor was very understanding. I really felt relieved. Don't take the itching lightly, I think you should see a doctor.

So where is the itching occurring? Is it something general or in a specific area? Because this is important; for example, if it's something like a fungus, you need to go to an obstetrician, and if it's a skin issue, you should see a dermatologist.

@pratikcevapci vaginal but more on the outside. Not on the inside.

What's the big deal? You're just explaining it to a doctor, they're not a stranger, they're doing their job. They'll either get a cream or medication, just get it done. It's not something to be ashamed of.

Vaginal itching can generally be caused by a yeast infection, bacterial vaginosis, or skin irritation. If you get cream from the pharmacy by yourself, there is a risk of using something wrong, because if the cause is different, it won't work. It would be appropriate to go to a dermatologist or an obstetrician. Doctors are familiar with these kinds of issues, so you don't need to hesitate when explaining.

My daughter, if she were my daughter, I would take her directly. Is your health less important than the shame of your thoughts? If you don't go to the doctor because it's a private matter, it will get worse. Just go to the gynecologist and explain openly. They listen to these kinds of things every day anyway.

@bilgiguzeli it doesn’t always happen, as I said, sometimes I forget during the day but then it starts suddenly, and then it goes away again. Occasionally, there’s a whitish discharge, is that normal do you think?

@atismakayardimci I think everyone may have a different understanding of privacy. It would be better if they didn't downplay their own discomfort. When it comes to a private matter, people can get tense, so let's support each other and not belittle anyone 😅

Vaginal itching and white discharge often indicate a fungal infection. It’s better not to try anything at home; it’s best to visit a doctor for a clear diagnosis. If you’re used to going to a gynecologist, go there; otherwise, a dermatologist can also help.
