Burning and ichy vagina/anal area Posted: 03-15-08 13:23pm
I recently had a problem with my vagina.
It was kind of ichy and then it started to
kind of burn too. Eventually, when it was
at its worse, my anal area was burning
too! I haven't done anything different
with my hygeine routine, and it seems to
go away after a few days and then come
back. It's about to drive me crazy..I
have an appointment with my Dr., but not
till a week from now. Anybody had
anything like this? I feel like I used
sand paper for toilet paper!! Oh, and I
don't have any discharge or weird
smells....and I'm a virgin...so no real
concern about STD's. Please help!

It might be a yeast infection. Have you
taken any antibiotics recently? Normally
with a yeast infection you have burning,
itching and some discharge. But you said
that you didn't have any discharge. If
it's not yeast, then maybe its a chemical
sensitivity to something.

Yeah, no discharge and no antibiotics, but
I was actually given a pill for a yeast
infection a month ago...don't really know
if it was really a yeast infection, but
since my doctor books up really quickly,
she called it in for me in the meantime.
Seemed like it kind of got better, but now
it's back! I'm not sure how long the one
pill will last though?? Does anybody
else?? My guess is that I'm either
allergic to something (even though I've
stopped using everything) or i've got
bacterial infection...don't really know,
wish I did!!! It's driving me nuts!! Guess
I'll just have to wait till I see my Dr.

itchy vagina, itching after sex, etc... Posted: 03-31-08 21:37pm
TRY LATEX FREE OR NON-LATEX CONDOMS. OR
CONDOMS WITHOUT Nonoxidyl 9 Spermicide.
BUT DO NOT STOP USING CONDOMS!
I AM NOT A DOCTOR.
Could be a yeast infection
If it persists for more than a week after
not having sex, and not usuing condoms,
should see one just to be safe.
AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION IS WORTH A POUND OF
CURE!

SHOULD SEE A DOCTOR, BUT IN THE
MEANTIME.... MAY WANT TO TRY TO SIT IN A
BATH IN WATER AND WHITE VINEGAR.
ALSO HAVE HEARD/FOUND THAT TEA TREE OIL, A
NATURAL ANTISEPTIC WORKS... OR AT LEAST
RELIEVES THE ITCHING.
