Me and my boyfriend hardly get to spend anytime together so we had ALOT of sex whenever he came over. I'm on Yaz birth control and he used Trojan condoms *sometimes*. This isn't a pregnancy question because I've already taken a pregnancy test and it came back negative. Anyhow, I noticed yesterday morning that I was red and irritated down there and then yesterday evening it started itching (like a yeast infection). I've been using Premarin (keeps it from itching). And it doesn't seem to be helping. Sure it stops the itch but it's not helping it go away.
Alot of times whenever we would have sex I would be really dry and it would hurt (because we didn't have any lubricant). So I was wondering if that could be part of the problem but it's itching from my cl*t to the bottom. So I don't really know what it could be other than a yeast infection. Any ideas or suggestions? It would be GREATLY appreciated.
The only other thing it might be is cuts or tears on your labia. If you aren't using enough enough lubracation, friction can cause tears and cuts down there that itch like hell. Take a handheld mirror and a good look at yourself. If you are cut you'll likely be able to see it and the itching should be focused around the area of the cut.
In the future, tell a guy to cool it untill there is enough lubrication! It's never comfortable or enjoyable to have sex without it.
Either way, a trip to the doctor is probably in order. If you do have cuts, you don't really want to be applying creams without a doctors opinion and if you have a yeast infection, they can test for that very easily. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
