Vaginal Itching after first time Posted: 07-10-08 12:06pm
I had a very small yeast infection, and it
seemed to go away on its own. But the
other day my boyfriend and I had sex,
which was my first time. I knew that pain
during your first time was common for most
people. But .. I'm gonna say about 45
minutes to an hour had passed (after we
finished) my vagina got really irritated.
It actually felt exactly like the very
first yeast infection I ever had, which
was incredibly annoying. I told my mom and
she went and bought a generic version of
Monistat, which I really don't usually
like the generic brands, I've found in the
past that it hasn't even completely gotten
rid of the yeast infection before. But
anyway she got me the 3-day treatment, and
I've used 2 days of it so far. Usually
when I use Monistat the irritation starts
to fade away a great deal even after the
first day, but it's hardly changed at all
and it's been 2 days of treatment. I know
it has to be a yeast infection, because
I've had them before and this feels like
the first one I had. But it's just being
incredibly stubborn and it wont go away.
I've been applying the cream throughout
the day and the treatments at night before
bed, and drying after showers and
everything. I've even been using K-Y Jelly
occasionally. Could it just be that the
treatment I bought is a rip off? I mean,
it was about 8 dollars less than the 3-day
Monistat treatment so my Mom wanted to get
it. But I really haven't seen any results
at all. Could I just be irritated from my
first time?
To be honest, I wouldn't go with anything
less than the 7 day treatment for a yeast
infection, regardless of the brand. My
doctor told me NEVER the 3 or 1 day
treatments because there is such a
concentration of medicine in it, that if
it is not administered perfectly, it
worsens the yeast infection.
At this point...I would go to the doc to
clear it up. They'll give you the happy
pill, and you'll be happy.
Did you use a condom with any sort of
lubrication? Sometimes, women have to get
used to the condom. Are you allergic to
latex or anything? Also, did you urinate
after you were done having sex? Many women
get infections from sex (yeast and
bladder), and urinating helps prevent
these infections.
I wouldn't worry about the sex causing the
yeast infection. Just get it cleared up by
the doc, and don't have sex (or do
anythign sexual, really) until it's all
cleared up!

Also, sex (especially your first time, if
you weren't well lubricated) you might
have small tears and irritation in the
vagina, which could feel like an
infection. Are you having any discharge at
all? That's usually the telltale sign of a
yeast infection.
There is no difference generic vs. name
brand. But I agree, 7 day treatment is
what I would go with.
