Can you get an itchy sensation down below?

Low levels of oestrogen can cause a reduction of protective mucus in the vagina resulting in itching, irritation, and infection.

You may find Sea Buckthorn Oil helpful as this is often used to help restore the balance, although it can take 4 weeks or so to start showing benefit.

It is not one of our products but just Google for more information. You should be able to get this from most healthshops anyway.

Check what kind of soaps/shower gels you are using in that area, most of them contain a whole raft of chemicals which could now irritate this area more.

It may be an idea to switch over to organic ones and that may help. However, if this does continue it is best to check with your doctor just to rule out any infections.
