Well one year ago I had this tiny little itch inside my vagina, I didnt think anything of it because the itch wasnt so bad. Then I had protected sex with this guy and the itching was still there. I decided to itch it with my finger nail and it got red and itched more. What a bad idea to do that! then about 4-5 months later I met this other guy this time I had unprotected sex, I was being careless about not using a condom. But after the second time I had unprotected sex with this guy I came home and I was itching SO bad! I was afraid to tell my mom because she thought I was still a virgin at that time so I let this happen for a couple of month of burning and itching. Somedays it wouldnt itch and somedays it would itch a lot! I began having this yellow/white thick secretions and it smelled really bad. I finally told my mom that I had an infection, I told her it could be a yeast infection. I went to Med 7 because our doctor didnt use our insurance anymore so it would have taken longer to see my new doctor and I needed to get treated fast. So this doctor gave me a pap. She said I might have a yeast infection, and so it was. After I took the perscription medicine it went away after a few weeks. Then after a couple months or so the itching came back but it wasnt as bad as before. I decided to see my new doctor and talked to her about it, this was in I think Nov. of last year. She gave me a perscription of one pill that was for yeast infection. And my itching still hasnt gone away yet! It wasnt as bad but there is still some itching every now and then. What could this be? Im gonna set an appt to get a pap from my new doctor. Im just scared that it could be some std. If this has been going on for a year and if it is an std will it go away if I get it treated soon? can you have and std for the rest of your life? god im just scared to find out what I might have.

Im scared!

it sounds like a yeast infection to me, tho i could be wrong. There are over the counter medications that are fast and effective, maybe try one and see if it clears up, if it does then it surely isn't an STD. Some women are prone to yeast infections, wear cotton underwear (or none) and use none scented soaps etc, that can help stop it from coming back.
-
Yeah I already tried over the counter stuff for yeast infection and that doesnt work. The doctor gave me one pill that should cure all type of yeast infection. Soo I dont know. Its like my inner smaller labia it itches sometimes, and its a lil red around the inside area. But I could be allergic to something that makes it keep itching...i dont know.
-
thats a good point actually, do you think you might be allergic to something? Tampons, condoms etc...........
-
I dont use tampons anymore...It could be the condoms, but before when I first used it, it never made me itch. But after I got this yeast infection it itched and stinged more. And after I treated the infection it still makes me itch. So It could be something else. I dont have any weird secretions, its mostly a bit white or clear color. I do have odor down there sometimes. It doesnt hurt when I pee. Soo the only thing that bothers me is this nasty itch that lasts like 10 secs...then it goes away for a couple minutes to maybe half an hour or so then it comes back. Are there STD's that do this?
-
Hon, i have never had an STD, and don't know anything about them really..........maybe googling up on stuff might help you figure it out, or maybe the others on here who know lots more than me will join in

I'm with Angel...Still sounds like yeast. Sometimes it can be the HARDEST thing to get rid of. I infact have to take acidophillous(sp) everyday or they come back.
What I have found for the symptoms that works best is to use the external cream, like every time you go pee. And some cortisone cream when the itching is excruciating...and try the acidophillous too.
Sounds really gross, but when the infections are at their height (usually right after my period) one of the tablets up the vagina, puts the acidophillous right in with the yeast, and kills it straight away.It is kind of a combination attack on the little buggers!
-
thanks, Im just getting so frustrated and freaked out that it could be something else because i dont have any weird secretions that shows signs that I have a yeast infection. This itching is really pissing me off and it does make me paranoid a lot that it could be some infectious std. Well Im gonna see the doctor this friday so hopefully I will know what it could be...so nervous!

Great! You will do fine. Besides if it is something else, you can manage it when you know!Good luck at the Dr. Hope all is well.
