uti
I am 72 and recently I experienced an itchy sensation in my vaginal to anus region which usually happens by the end of the day and goes away by washing with water. I had a urine culture test done and it appeared to be clear. Does this seem to be UTI?

Have you been screened for a yeast infection?

1 ReactionHello, @anjali1953. Persistent itching can be so frustrating. I'm so sorry you're dealing with this.
There are a number of different issues that can cause itching. It could be some kind of contact dermatitis, or like @gravity3 said, a yeast infection. You can read more about possible causes here: https://www.healthline.com/health/vaginal-health/reasons-vaginal-itch-happens-when-you-dont-have-a-yeast-infection
You mentioned that you had a urine culture. Have you spoken to your doctor about the continued itching?
This comment doesn’t pertain to the itching complaint but as soon as I read UTI and your age I thought of a recent podcast I listened to.

I hope you can get relief soon!
