yeast infection
okay so when i typed in yeast infection symptoms on google i got this site that said this::
Since not everyone gets the discharge, the easiest way for a woman to tell that she has a yeast infection is that she itches in and around her vagina. A lot. The itchiness may be accompanied by a burning sensation, and her vulvar area can be red and swollen. It may also burn or be generally painful for her to urinate, and sex may become painful as well. A good way to distinguish the burning on urination that is due to a yeast infection vs. a urinary tract infection is to pay close attention to exactly when the burning starts and stops. With yeast, the burning is due to acidic urine hitting the irritated skin of the vulva, so the burning starts when the urine reaches the outside. With urinary tract infection, the burning is felt as the urine passes down the tube on its way out.
While these are the general symptoms of a yeast infection, every woman may experience one differently. She may identify an infection by the smell and consistency of the discharge, which can be unique to her. However, certain symptoms definitely do not go along with a simple yeast infection, and they may indicate that something more serious is going on. For example, if she is feverish or is experiencing pelvic pain, these are definitely indications that she ought to see her doctor in order to receive a proper diagnosis and medical care.

I answered your previous question but I am assuming you did not throughly read through my response.
It is really not uncommon to only be experiencing one symptom of a yeast infection (or no symptoms even). If your vagina was previously not as itchy as it currently is then something is probably not normal. Vaginas don't just get very itchy out of the blue for no reason.
You also noted in your other question that you had an increased amount of vaginal discharge than you've been accustomed to. The discharge does not have to be just like cottage cheese to be a yeast infection--like I said, some women do not show exact symptoms of the yeast infection. If you're having greater amounts of discharge than previously then that is a symptom.
Any way it is--vaginal yeast infection, bacterial infection, or nothing--you should wear looser clothing if you feel it may be scratching your skin in that area. You still may want to wear a panty-liner daily if you are bothered by your discharge.
I still hold that you should see your regular doctor to make sure everything is healthy but that is your call. It's better to be knowledgeable of your own body and stay healthy than to get very sick and regret waiting.

Well, this happens to me too. It's normal. Because if you don't have any symptoms, then you can't have one. And every girl gets a discharge!!
hope I helped!

A link to your previous question would have been helpful.
If your vagina is just itching in general, then it's okay. It might be your jean's synthetics irritating your lower area. That's perfectly normal. You can go to this website to learn how to treat it naturally:

If all else fails, it's time to see your doc.
