Q: Itchy red irritated labia
asked by: worriedinky on August 9th, 2008

I have been itching like crazy for a couple weeks now... nothing internally just my labia. I do not have a discharge or odor, no blisters, sores or anything like that. I have tried a yeast infection treatment to no avail..... I'm worried it may be an STD. I have been with my husband and only my husband for over 5 years now... I've gone as far as accusing him of giving me something..... Fears overtake ration thoughts at this point.

Any ideas???

Do you shave? Is it possible irritation from that?

Otherwise, I'd see a doc if you feel it might be some sort of STI/STD. Even if it's not, it'd be nice to get it taken care of, you know? So, I'd see someone about it.

I have a Dr's appointment on Monday. And yes I do shave and have for nearly 20 years and I've never experienced anything like this.

Itchy Red Irritated Labia
I was faithful, but my hubby of thirteen years cheated on me a LOT. I would go to the doctor whenever I thought things were not right, and sure enough I'd have another infection of some kind. My doctors never told me they were STDs, and when asked, would give me wishy washy non-commital answers, then give me two prescriptions, one for me and one for him. At any rate, you may be sore because you just have a yeast infection that is staying at a very low level, or you could have something more serious, but you may want to get it checked out. If you are on hormonal birth control, that can cause severe dryness that leads to irritation as well. Or, if you're near menopause, lack of estrogen can cause this.
