Svědění pochvy: příčiny, léčba a kdy jít k gynekologovi

When you experience svědění pochvy, nebezpečný, ale často přehlížený příznak ženského zdraví, který může signalizovat infekci, alergii nebo hormonální nerovnováhu. Also known as vaginální svědění, it is one of the most common reasons women visit a gynecologist — and often the first sign something is off. Toto není jen nepříjemnost, kterou si můžete „vydržet“ — to je tělo, které vám říká, že něco není v pořádku.

Nejčastější příčinou je kvasinková infekce, přesnější název je vaginální mykóza, způsobená přebytkem houby Candida. Also known as vaginální mykóza, it causes intense itching, white clumpy discharge, and sometimes burning during urination. But it’s not the only culprit. Bacterial vaginosis, irritation from soaps or synthetic underwear, hormonal changes during menstruation or pregnancy, and even diabetes can trigger the same symptoms. You can’t guess the cause just by how it feels — and self-treating with over-the-counter creams might make things worse if it’s not a yeast infection.

What makes svědění pochvy tricky is that it often comes with other signs: unusual discharge, odor, pain during sex, or redness. If it lasts more than a few days, comes back after treatment, or happens with fever or pelvic pain, you need to see a gynekolog. No shame in it. A simple swab test can tell you exactly what’s going on. Many women think it’s normal after antibiotics or during stress — but it’s not. Your body isn’t broken; it’s just out of balance. And that’s fixable.

Prevention matters too. Avoid scented tampons, tight jeans, and douching. Cotton underwear, plain water for cleaning, and avoiding sugar-heavy diets can reduce your risk. If you get it often, it’s worth looking at your overall health — gut health, immune system, or even stress levels. It’s not just about the vagina — it’s about your whole system.

Below you’ll find real, practical advice from women who’ve been there. Articles on how to treat kvasinková infekce naturally, what to eat when you have vaginální mykóza, how to recognize early signs, and when to skip the pharmacy and go straight to the doctor. No fluff. Just what works.
