It could be a yeast infection (which would have itching ) or BV which would have itching , maybe mild burning and a fishy odor, or it could just be a reaction fromt he douche. I do not recommend using these products - douching is a bad idea unless directed by a doctor for a specific reason, and even then they will recommend the type of douche you should use (usually a vinegar water solution). Instead of washing with summer's eve, which usually contains tons of fragrances and other things that could cause irritation, use a natural soap like dove or dial. And if you're concerned about vaginal odor, try using a ph balanced soap like johnson and johnson ph 5.5 body wash. good luck.
