Itching! Please Help
Posted: 07-16-06 09:36am

For the last few weeks ive been getting severe itching on my vagina and just recently a couple of lumps have developed. Ive only slept with my boyfriend so it cant be stds. I was wondering if it is pregnancy related or if its a heat rash as its been incredibly hot here

Well it could be a chemical burn.
Not to be too personal but if u shave that could also be it.
Using razors or nail can cause stuff like that to happen.
Or it could be from extreme heat.
To relieve the pain id say try some cooling lotion like cucumber melon.

Thats always fun, pregnancy has got to be the best for getting eveything you dont usually get well hopefully it cures up pretty quick and you dont get a repeat infection

i never got one my whole pregnancy. Which is weird I guess because before I got pregnant I would get them like every couple months. They suck!

I've had one for a couple of weeks now and it's only just clearing up.. It's been driving me mad =( I used to get them every so often, but pregnancy has seemed to make it worse coz i've never had one this bad before.

Glad the cream worked for you though =)

Thanks, hopefully when this one goes it wont come back again! Thrush is awful and don't want to experience it again. Ive only got three and a half weeks left so fingers crossed it wont happen again

Just an fyi I heard from a dr/few friends that yogurt helps keep it clear and down there in balance....

I also heard drinking cranberry juice on occasional basis will actually not help for yeast infections but utis as well its natural and is safe for you preggo folk

Yea yogurt is good for yeast infection because the meds they give you can kill the good and bad bacteria. There's a specific culture in yogurt that helps out your cha cha. It also helps balance the p.H levels which can cause itching/burning.

My whole life i've had 1 slight yeast infection. I caught it at the burning and it healed before it got severe. I didn't have one my entire pregnancy or after. I'm not gonna speak too soon, cuz my luck, i'll jinx myself and wake up itching!! Hahahaha!!

Good luck and i'm glad your cha cha is feeling better!!
