[/INST] HiWelcome.If the water is dirty, then only swimming can be attributed as a cause of fungal infections, otherwise it is usually not.No, absence of period is not a cause either. You can pay a visit to your gynaecologist for period related issues.It could be due to profuse sweating. Sweating creates a humid environment, which suits for fungi to grow.Keep the areas described by you dry as far as possible. If possible do visit a dermatologist, who will see whether it is a fungal infection or something other which is creating so much itching.Always use cotton undergarments (Avoid synthetics). Change them frequently.I hope this helps. In case of any other problem contact me, I will be more than happy to solve your querries. Gos bless. </s>
