Hi Anon,

Welcome to EmpowHER. Vaginal itching can be caused by sexually transmitted diseases or infections. A woman can experience vaginal itching during pregnancy, due to changes to the vaginal PH level which can cause topical irritations. Vaginal yeast infections can also cause vaginal itching.  It's important to see your OBGYN and he will be able to let you know what can be causing the vaginal itching and if you are pregnant. The pullout method is not considered a safe way to prevent pregnancy.  If you want to avoid a pregnancy, you should use some sort of protection such as condoms or birth control pills. 

Best,

Daisy
