I would recommend taking acidophyllus supplements daily and cleaning the area atound your clitoris.There are a bunch of skin folds were TP miniature pieces sometimes get stuck. You might need a mirror or ask your hubby for assistance. Be gentle, and use a wet q-tip. I how that helps!

This happened to me when I was 32 weeks and it was a yeast infection. I had no discharged but when my doctor checked me I had discharged inside of my vagina. My doctor prescribed me a pill to take with some cream to relieve the itch. The pill was great, I felt better within 24 hours of taking it. I still use the cream from time to time to help relieve any itch that I might get.

That is one reason I went out to buy a HPT. I have yet to find relief but I have found several objects to scratch without gauging.

Well this is a strange story but last year when my best friend was pregnant, one day she called me n sent me a pic on my phone of her vagina  (weird) she was panicking because it looked purple n like she has varicose veins. She ended up going to her doctor n was told that that was exactly what it was.. varicose veins that happen during pregnancy. Due to bad circulation because of the added pressure on her pelvic veins. As soon as she delivered it went away.

You may want to check with your obgyn it can be a bacterial infection or even a yeast infection.
