Vaginal Itch Only - Possible Yeast Infection?

For over a month now I've been itching a lot inside my vagina, like 1/2 an inch in on the wall of it. I've have a yeast infection before but I have never felt this. All there is is an itch. No burning, no redness, no pain at all. But coincidentally, I don't know if this is related to the itching, I've been having small cramps in my lower abdomen area that occur a few times a day and I have also end up having a couple spots of light pink blood on the toilet paper when I use the bathroom. I am trying to get in to see my gynecologist but it probably won't be for a few days to a week. My mom is convinced it's a yeast infection, but I just want to make sure. I want to know if anyone has had anything like this happen to them and what it was.

Yeast Infection :: Vaginal Itching For A Few Days

Never had a yeast infection before. I'm 24, never been pregnant. I have been having vaginal itching for a few days. Not sure if it's a yeast infection because there isn't any abnormal discharge. It started A few days ago when I got off my period. My husband and I (who are both monogamous!!) had gone 2 weeks w/o sex due to my period and the week before we were crazy busy. At first I was a little sore after the first time we had sex so I attributed it to the "dry spell" for two weeks. But several days later I'm still having some itching. Nothing too intense, just bothersome. Should I seek treatment or wait it out?

Vaginal Health :: Yeast Infection Or HPV? Discharge And Itching

I female, 29 years old. For the past three years I’ve been only sexually active with my boyfriend, we are living together and are probably going to get married next year. So, it’s a pretty serious relationship. I’ve stopped using birth control about a month ago because the new doctor prescribed me generic which had horrible effects on my mood. For the last week I’ve been experiencing extreme itching in my vaginal area, and it’s accompanied with the white discharge. Over the last three days I’ve noticed 3 small pimples appear and that’s when I started to worry this might be HPV infection. I’ve taken a pregnancy test and it was negative, but we’re a bit low on money now so I can’t get to ob-gyn for at least 3 weeks. Do the symptoms I’m experiencing sound more like I have yeast infection or HPV?

Vaginal Health :: Bad Yeast Infection - Cottage Cheese Discharge

I have a yeast infection. I've had it for a month. It itched and burned so much and I told my mom maybe 3 days ago. She gave me Canesten which I put on. She also gave me some pills which I take. I get so much discharge that is like cottage cheese (I know this is normal for yeast infections) and I get a lot. I've never had my period, I'm 13 and a virgin and today I looked at my underwear and near the front (like near my vulva or labia or wherever the pee comes out) there was blood! I was shocked and started thinking it was my period, but I looked on beside my pee hole (I sound like an id**t, gah) (I think it's my labia?) an there was a huge cut! I mean, I get cuts a lot on my butt but this was horrible! I had to wear a pantyliner and it was fine, but I went to pee and it BURNED so badly! I told my mom about the blood when I first saw it an i told her about the cut on the phone cause she was at work and she said it was fine but I'm scared! I also have little white bumps on my labia and I've had them for a very long time! They've never bothered me I always thought they were normal, but I just want to clarify it. Also, I hate yogurt and I know it really helps your PHD level but I think it's disgusting!

Recurring Yeast Infections, Is Yeast A Normal Thing?

I am 27 years old. Have had 1 sexual partner for the last year and a half. I've had yeast infections before, probably 1 a year prior to him coming along. in the last 6 months I've had a few yeast infections, and the worst vaginal irritation, including severe swelling, dryness, itchiness, etc. Sometimes I sit in the tub for an hour, and its even gotten to the point where I ice my vagina to decrease the swelling. My doctors have told me irritation is just part of having a vagina. How does that help me?

I'm a very healthy person. Have no std's. Eat basically Paleo and gluten free, and exercise on a daily basis. I stay away from sugars because I fear they will cause the yeast to come. I'm getting worried that the yeast is a sign of something much worse. Then, I read web articles, which talk about immune deficiencies, diabetes, LBS, etc. and get scared, which just stresses me out.

Is yeast a normal thing, or am I justified in being worried?

Pregnancy :: Can Diet Cause Yeast Infections?

My 1 year old has a bad yeast infection. She has already been prescribed nystatin and it seems to work, but the infection is not going away. The doctor did not answer my question when I asked him what caused yeast infections. He said they just happen. If they just happen how come every baby girl does not have them. Does anyone have any more useful information about what could cause a yeast infection in a 1 year old? I don't believe we were just unlucky.

STD :: Bacterial Vaginosis And Yeast Infections - Can't Get Rid

So I wanted to give an update on my post I made a few months back, on the "i can't get rid of BV!

All those remedies never worked for me. I tried the apple cider vinegar douche and the H2O2 douche. I even tried the diet thing,(candida diet) where you can't eat anything basically. Needless to say that didn't last very long, I think I did that for about 3 days because it was just waaay to hard for me. But anyways as I was trying that out I also stopped taking my birth control pills. I had been taking Lutera for about 3 years. (Which is around the time all my symptoms started to happen)

Long story short...my boyfriend told me to do one or the other. And since I had already stopped taking my BC (and that candida diet sucks!) I decided to just eat what I want and see what happens with everything going on down south. Well A LOT of my symptoms went away!! I've even had sex about 5 times with no bad reactions afterword(which before when I had sex with my bf, almost immediately after or the next morning the symptoms would be so bad sometimes I would cry).

I'm not saying I don't have this anymore because I think I still do, I still have a white milky discharge, that dries on my panty-liners a sort of yellow-brown color, and it smells a little, not fishy but I don't think it's good lol. But i no longer have that severe itching that i use to get, which was the absolute worst!!!!!! TMI but i could probably sit there and scratch for like literally 5mins straight with out any relief, just a flared up vagina! ugh its sucked sooo bad!

But I'm just nervous to go to the doctor to get tested positive a for BV or yeast infection and have her put me on an antibiotic that might just make my symptoms worse all over again. Should I go to the doctor or try an OTC for a yeast infection??

Recurring Yeast Infections For The Past 3 Years

I am a 21 year old girl who has struggled with recurring yeast infections for the past 3 years. They would come every 4-6 months and I'd treat them and they'd go away for the time and come back. Well I had to take penicillin for strep throat 2 months ago and guess who got a lovely yeast infection? Even taking a diflucan with the antibiotics it still came, so yes I've had a yeast infection for almost 3 months straight. I've give to planned parenthood several times, one doctor says it's yeast the next says it's BV and now this doctor says it's both! Of course they send me home with metrogel and a diflucan even though that hasn't helped. I'm going to do the treatment knowing it's not going to cure it, there's some type of hope right? I need some support from other ladies dealing with this. I've struggled with depression and this is intensifying it. I feel hopeless, I can't have sex and I'm a mess. My boyfriend is completely understanding, but ya no sex isn't the funnest thing. I've also been doing the yeast diet, cut sugars out, no bread, no alcohol, pretty much nothing. I'm taking probiotics, eating yogurt, wearing cotton undies, wearing nothing but dresses at night. I just really really need somebody to tell me what helps them get through this, I wanna cry plenty of times throughout the day because this is so miserable.

Women's Health :: Recurrent Yeast Infections

I have been dealing with recurrent yeast and bv infections for several years. I have been to a handful of doctors, they cannot tell me why my symptoms won't go away. Doctors have tried to grow cultures of the yeast, but it never grows. I have tested negative for diabetes and do not have anything that would otherwise compromise my immune system. I have tried the yeast free diet - all I did was lose 5 pounds (and on my 100 lbs. body that is saying something). Now my Dr. says that I have BV and a yeast infection. I have tried eating yogurt, inserting yogurt with a probiotic powder, taking probiotics, nothing seems to work. He is giving me Flagyl (500 mg for 5 days) then he wants me to take a Diflucan pill once a day for 20 days. I am not having sex during this most recent treatment plan, in hopes of getting this under control.
