Worried
Sent to Health Experts August 14 07:13 PM

I am nine months pregnant, I have never had anything ever wrong, like cold sores etc. I have been itching down there for about two weeks now, I thought it was just a yeast infection. Just today I discovered there were bumps and redness down there should I be worried could I have gotten herpes from a toliet seat or what?

                     Thanks, Laura

Vaginal itching during pregnancy can be caused by sexually transmitted diseases or infections; however, the most common reason for vaginal itching during pregnancy may be the normal change to the vaginal PH level which can cause topical irritations. Vaginal yeast infections are also common during pregnancy and are notorious for persistent vaginal itching.
