Go to a gynecologist. You could have a host of diseases and only a gyno can tell you what it is. You cannot cure this on your own.

For years I've been having the same problems. Irritations and vaginal itching...swelling of my clitoris, my labia minora down to my vagina opening. When I pee its stings every where it touch. Sex i love but could not enjoy fully. If i had sex too often it just seem to irritate my vagina even more. a rash on the vagina Been to doctors, pap smears, blood works, test for STD's and any other test possible to help get raid of this disgusting annoying irritation, change the type of under-weares to cotton, iron my under weares to kill bacteria, tried oral vaginal pills, tried acidophilus to get my ph balance back to normal, change my diet to help my ph balance... man i tried every thing it would seem And some times it even seems to be more worst when im getting close to my cycle. (This I could never understand), I've blamed my boy friend for constantly giving it back to me. (Which i believe is also the reason it�s been re-occurring) I do believe that our man is also part of the reason we keep getting these symptoms as well. We broke up, I�ve stayed away from sex during this period. No symptoms. Started dating another guy and the same thing occurred again. We've changed condoms, tried with or with out condoms.. I thought that I was allergic to latex; or maybe my body needed to get use to his�.. Nothing seemed to be working in my favor.....

Im as healthy as a horse, I don�t have HIV. Im not on any pregnancy pills, im not taking any other pills except my iron and vitamin pills. No anti-biotic pills for anything. I do tend to be stress sometimes because of work or just life and something I do lack sleep; and my immune system seems to be great according to the doctor.

I constantly ware panty liners on an every day basics because of this irritation and because i don't like to feel wet with the discharge i get whether its my normal body fluid or some infection coming on yet again. Hate the smell of urine on my underwear. The great-full thing about panty liners is it helped get raid of the odor and i could see the color of the discharge which help me know when it�s just normal body fluid or if something is going wrong again. The odor was the biggest thing for me. I don�t usually have one so when I do start to smell anything slightly funny I know some thing is going wrong. Sooo.... I'm i Frustrated? Yes!

Then my gynecologist gives me this wonderful wonderful cream called FLAGYSTATIN. This cream works almost immediately it would seem. After an overnight dose the morning feels wonderful. Swelling is gone, the itching stop, the tenderness of the skin is now reduced, peeing seems normal once again, my body produce regular mucus one again (after 4 day of treatment - But its recommend to use for 10 days), sex is a blast once again. Thats how great i find this cream works. It is an anti-biotic type of cream or so i've been told so you cannot drink when using it, (well i don't) but this cream to me seems to be stronger then the rest of vaginal cream out there.... Oh and don�t let your boyfriend go down on you when you are using this cream. It will have a very bad reaction to his throat (as I have witness). Make sure that there is nothing remaining (FLAGYSTATIN cream) remaining there.

Ask your doctor about it and try it.. May be it will work for you....

Here's what worked for me... I had the same
problem and after trying the products made
especially for feminine itch, I found out
that because they contain so many artificial
ingredients like perfumes and chemicals that
they were only making it worse.

I finally used ISP Ointment, a non-toxic product
we had purchased for skin problems such as cuts,
scrapes, rashes, etc. ISP Ointment, (available
online, just Google it), contains small amounts
of peppermint oil, iodine, sulfur, cocoa butter
and petrolatum, so it has nothing that aggravates
the problem. It's really easy & cheap to use:
after bathing, thoroughly dry vaginal area, &
apply about a 1/4 teaspoon (like a swipe) to the
vaginal area (labia). That's it... I actually do
this every day because it keeps my vaginal area
healthy and smelling fresh and clean due to the
peppermint oil, which is a known for being beneficial
as a health-promoting ingredient. Hope this helps!

As an afterthought, if your situation gets worse
or is really bothering you, go to your gynecologist
or physician. If you can't afford one, please visit
a free clinic or your health department:)

Hi there
I am still having the vagina yeast infection.
It takes a really long time to heal.
I dun even know if it can be cured.

I am sick of going to the doctors and they will still give me cloritimazole pills to insert. It will only help me for like 5 days then it starts again.
It cost me so much money too.

So i did my own research, the natural way to heal yeast infection.
Garlic.
Yes it sounds yucks but it helped me alot!

A piece of garlic can help kill the yeast in a min.
Garlic is a yeast worst enemy.
U wont even feel a pain after u insert the garlic into your vagina.
I bet you gonna feel WAY ALOT of Relief!!

I was scared too when i read about it. But the pain and itchiness is killing me.
So i tried. And it works damn well!!

Just peel a piece of garlic. Cut it into half. And slowly insert the garlic into your vagina.
You can insert it near to the middle but not too deep. Dun worry, it wont get too further in.
Do it at night, so u can sleep with it.
The next morning you can dig it out with no pain, itchiness and so ever.

Dun forget to wash with feminine wash after released or intercourse.

Try it!
