Itching in private area
Hello Doctor,
For the past 1-2 days I’ve been feeling an itching/irritation in my private area while urinating.
This started after my last periods. I’m not having any discharge, but the itching happens especially after I wash.
Could this be an infection? Please suggest what I should do and if any tests or treatment are needed.
Thank you.

This can be due to irritants like soap ? Talc ? V wash ? Etc . You can have an urine routine microscopy test to rule out urinary infection.
