Severe vaginal itching during periods is commonly due to pad-related irritation, moisture, or a mild fungal infection. It can persist even after removing the pad.
What to do now:
Keep the area clean and dry
Change pads frequently; use unscented cotton pads or menstrual cup if comfortable
Avoid soaps, vaginal washes, or home remedies
Wear loose cotton underwear
If itching continues >2–3 days, or if you develop white discharge, redness, swelling, or burning, consult a gynecologist—antifungal treatment may be needed.
Do not self-apply steroid or mixed creams.
