I chose the IUD for birth control. I haven't had sexual intercorse for more than 4 months, but I feel irretation and burning inside of my vagina like I'm always hot below. There's no discharge or odor. My pap came back normal in July 04 and my IUD is in the correct place. I thought it could have been a yeast infection so I used 3 day monostat cream. I was fine for a few days, then it was back. Can you help me find a answer to this question?

chaos answered Wednesday August 11 2004, 9:05 am: I would seek a health professional. Sometimes you get itching with another infection called bacteriosis. This infection left untreated could make you sterile. Also, the IUD itself is designed to irritate the vagina to keep an egg from attaching. You might just need a break from it or something. Please see a dr. or gynecologist. [ chaos's advice column | Ask chaos A Question ]

Don't treat yourself as if you have a yeast infection anymore - if this WAS a yeast infection there would have been discharge and odor, and the Monostat would have gotten rid of it.
TheKnightOwl answered Wednesday August 11 2004, 6:24 am: Keep using the Monostat, its entirely possible that you're have an allergic reaction to the IUD. It can happen believe it or not. Maybe you should try a different form of birth control. But yea, get rid of the IUD and look into other means of birth control, find one that's right for you. Use the Monostat as needed. That's all I can offer, I'm not an expert on the subject, but I have done my home work on anatomy, and allergies. Try my advice if it doesn't work then see a doctor about the irritation. Good luck.
