Q: Irritated Vaginal Opening?
asked by: dice on February 1st, 2008

Ok, so since the beginning of Dec. the opening of my vagina has been really weird. First I thought it was the beginning of a yeast infection, bc it was moderately itchy and irritated. So I used an over the counter cream. Never went away... then the itching and irritation would get worse, then almost disappear. Went to the doc and he said it was a yeast infection, told me to use more cream. Never went away. Went back and then was told, maybe its Trich... heres a prescription and some more cream. Still hasn't gone away. I don't know what else it could be. Is it possible to be allergic to my own discharge? Because during my last period, I used tampons the whole time... and never had any problems. Then when my period was over it came back again. There is no real change in my discharge color or consistency. No noticable sores or bumps. Just red, irritated and somehwat itchy. No burning when I pee.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

did your doc ever do a test? They can do a simple urine test to determine if it's a bacterial or yeast infection.

If it's a yeast infection, antibiotics won't help. If it's a bacterial infection, anti fungals won't help. Also, antibiotics can cause yeast infections and antifungals can cause bacterial infections. You need to figure out what it is!

Well, I'm having similar vaginal issues. Doctors aren't helping(especially since ive been moving around so ive been changing doctors).

Ive been researching alternative ways to get better . Anyone else have good results with natural supplement or products?

Yeast free diets
I am having the same issues. It might have something to do with our diets.

I have found something called the yeast free diet, basically you cut all sugars and yeast out of your diet for awhile until your candida levels get back to normal...I am considering trying it, even though I love my sugar.

I have the same thing only it's been about 3 or 4 days that I have had it. But i've been checking it everyday and there are no sores and no weird discharge of anykind. It's just red and irritated and itchy.
