Vaginal itching
Hey guys.
So, I get chronic urinary tract (bladder) infections. Almost once a month like clockwork. Anyways, I find them to be relatively manageable. I've been to doctors and been on the antibiotics but I got tired of renewing my prescription so much, and it's just easier and cheaper to clear it up myself with tons of water and cranberry juice.
So anyways, recenty I got one, and for the last 4 days it was pretty bad. Then, I woke up this morning and it finally felt cleared up. But somehow still weird down there, like a bit tingly. Throughout the day the tingling progressed to full-out itching, and now it's really bad. It's around my urethra but scratching seems to only exaserbate the problem.
I plan on going to the doctor because this has never happened to me before, but the clinic isn't open until Monday. If anyone has experienced this before, could you offer some insight into what this might be, and if there are any home remedies? This is very important because I have to work tommorow, and it's in a very public environment. I can't be constantly itching myself. I'm very concerned right now, because I can't really blow off work. Help!!!

It sounds like a yeast infection! It tends to happen when you go on a round of antibiotics. Go to your local grocery store and pick up some monistat. Follow the instructions and you should be good to go! Just make sure you a wear a pad for the next few days!

It sounds to me like you have a yeast infection. Go to any local drug or grocerie store as soon as you can and under the tampon isle there is a product called monistat. Take either the 3-day or 1-day treatment as soon as possible. It's like a little egg that you insert into the vagina and it liquifies and the lotions and creams inside clean out the bacteria. It also somes with some itch relief cream inside the container. Its anywhere from 9$-25$. Don't get the generic version, get name brand. You will need to wear a pad for a few days because it leaks out as it is cleansing. As far as your bladder infections go - It isn't normal for them to keep reacurring like that and if your doctor isn't doing anything about it then you need to switch doctors. Reacurring bladder infections could be from many things that could lead to more serious issues such as kidney problems, or not cleansing properly. It could also be caused from recently switching birth control. Please seek other professional care. Good Luck!
