Relief from vaginal itching

Vaginal itching is a frustrating and often uncomfortable problem that many women experience at some point in their lives. It can be caused by a range of factors, from hormonal changes during menopause to infections like yeast or bacterial vaginosis, or even irritants such as soaps, laundry detergents, or tight clothing. This persistent itching can interfere with daily life and intimate relationships, leading to discomfort, irritation, and sometimes even pain. While it may be tempting to ignore or self-treat, persistent vaginal itching should be addressed with a healthcare provider to identify the underlying cause and prevent further complications. Fortunately, there are effective treatments available that can provide relief and restore comfort.

CAUSES OF VAGINAL ITCHING

Root Causes

The root cause of vaginal itching can vary depending on individual circumstances, but common causes include infections, hormonal imbalances, and irritants. Yeast infections and bacterial vaginosis are frequent culprits, both of which disrupt the natural balance of bacteria in the vagina, leading to inflammation and itching. Hormonal changes, particularly during menopause, can cause the vaginal tissues to become thinner and drier, resulting in irritation and itchiness. Additionally, external factors like harsh soaps, perfumed products, certain fabrics, or tight clothing can irritate the sensitive skin in the vaginal area, triggering itching. Identifying the root cause is key to finding the right treatment and lasting relief.

Age

Current treatment options for vaginal itching depend on the underlying cause.  Hormonal imbalances, particularly those caused by menopause, can be treated with hormone replacement therapy (HRT) using estrogen creams or vaginal rings to alleviate dryness and restore vaginal tissue health. For itching caused by irritants, avoiding the use of harsh soaps, perfumes, and tight clothing can help, along with the application of soothing, over-the-counter creams or ointments. In cases of chronic itching can be due to a medical condition called lichen sclerosis.

Solutions

The Empower platform offers an innovative solution for vaginal itching, especially when it’s related to hormonal changes or tissue thinning, such as during menopause. Using non-invasive radiofrequency energy, treatments like FormaV work by stimulating collagen production and improving blood flow in the vaginal tissues. This rejuvenation process helps restore tissue health, increase natural moisture, and reduce inflammation, which can alleviate the discomfort and itching caused by dryness or tissue irritation. The Empower platform is FDA approved for vaginal itching and has been shown in clinical studies to provide significant relief in just 1-3 sessions.

Frequently asked questions

Vaginal itching can be caused by various factors, including infections like yeast infections or bacterial vaginosis, hormonal changes (especially during menopause), irritants such as soaps or detergents, and skin conditions like eczema. Identifying the cause is essential for effective treatment.

Mild vaginal itching caused by irritants or temporary hormonal fluctuations may resolve on its own once the irritant is removed or hormone levels stabilize. However, persistent or severe itching, especially if accompanied by other symptoms like discharge or burning, should be evaluated by a healthcare provider to rule out infections or other underlying issues.

Treatment depends on the cause. For infections, antifungal or antibiotic medications are commonly used. Hormonal imbalances may be treated with hormone replacement therapy (HRT), while topical creams and lifestyle changes (avoiding irritants) can help soothe symptoms. Advanced treatments like radiofrequency therapy (e.g., FormaV) can rejuvenate tissues and improve symptoms related to dryness and irritation.

You should see us if the itching is persistent, severe, or accompanied by other symptoms such as unusual discharge, pain, or burning. It’s important to get a professional diagnosis to ensure proper treatment and avoid complications from untreated infections or other underlying conditions.

Brands We Love & Trust

I don’t know about you, but we’ve been super frustrated trying to find brands that are eco conscious and use non-toxic, non cancerous ingredients. I never realized how difficult it was to find brands that fit these criteria. Is it really that much to ask that known carcinogens aren’t placed in our skin care products?


After a long, hard search, we are thrilled to share with you our curated partners who go above our expectations.
