Irritants: Sweat, tight clothing, soaps, perfumes, detergents, and razor burn can all irritate the skin. 
Allergies: An allergic reaction to something in your environment can cause itching. 
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs): Genital herpes, genital warts, HPV, syphilis, and gonorrhea can all cause itching. 
Pinworms: These parasitic worms can cause intense itching at night when females lay their eggs around the anus. 
Yeast infection: A yeast infection in the vagina or anus can cause itching.

Question 2

I'm a 29-year-old mom with a 2.5-year-old baby and I've been diagnosed with a right dermoid ovarian cyst measuring 2.6 cm x 2 cm along with bilateral PCOD causing irregular periods. I really don't want to undergo open or laparoscopic surgery since I'm done having kids. Feeling completely stuck and frustrated about what to do next - could you suggest some options for me?

Accepted Answer

Given your diagnosis of a 2.6 cm x 2 cm right dermoid ovarian cyst and bilateral PCOD, and your preference to avoid surgery, here's a breakdown of potential options and considerations:
 Understanding Your Situation:
 
  Dermoid Cyst:
  Dermoid cysts are usually benign and often don't cause symptoms, especially when small. While generally harmless, they can grow and potentially cause complications like torsion or rupture if large enough. 
 
 PCOD:
 Polycystic ovary disorder (PCOD) can lead to irregular periods and other issues, but with management, fertility remains a possibility. 
 Your Preference:
 You're hesitant about surgery due to your desire to avoid complications, which is a valid concern
