Question:

I usually get an itch in V-Region whenever I wear tight jeans, what can it be?

 

Answer:

We would like to start by saying the best scenario to determine what is causing your itch will be to visit a doctor since it could be from something other than tight fitted jeans.

Nevertheless, if you’re short on time and curious on an answer, it should be known that wearing tight jeans has been known to cause Yeast Infection. You may want to lay off not just tight jeans but also tight panties and underwear. While it may not be practical to completely stay off tight fitted clothing (we ladies love our skinnies), limiting the number of times you wear it may just be absolutely necessary.

“Yeast thrive in warm, damp places, and if your clothing is tight and made of non-breathable synthetic fabric, you’re setting the stage for overgrowth so save your slimmers for short-term use and special occasions, rather than using them as your go-to everyday garment” says CBS Health.

 

If you do not have an immediate access to a doctor, a yeast infection test kit from a local pharmacy can help determine if it is indeed yeast infection. If confirmed, an over the counter medication from the same pharmacy can also help cure the infection

So yes, ultimately, wearing tight jeans can eventually give you Yeast Infection.
