vaginal/clitoral itchingFrom: AJ (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sun, 21 Jul 2002 10:41:07 -0600
Recently I had a period, and instead of switching bewtween tampons and pads like I normall do, I only used pads. Towards the end of my period, I noticed that my skin on the bottom of my vagina was irritated. this had happened before, so I didn't think much of it. after a day or so, it started to itch, then I noticed that instead of just itching on the outer lips, it started itching on the inner lips (outer and inner sides). It progressed to where it was itching in my clitoral area. These are the only two spots that itch, the clitoral area, and the bottom of the inner lips. I have had a yeast infection before and UTIs. However this is different. There are no other symptoms, no painful urination, no cramping, no bleeding, no discharge and no odor. I have noticed that the inner lips and clitoral area feel a little swollen and harder than normal. I have no history of any STIs or STDs and I do get checked regularly. I have not been sexually active in the last four months. I cannot pinpoint any other changes that would cause this other than my period and using strictly pads. The pads I used were the kind I always use. I would go to my doctor, but I had to cancel my medical insurance as I could not afford it. I could go to the free clinic, however, the doctor is only there twice a week for less than three hours each day. It would be hard for me to get in right away as I would have to request the time off. I really don't want to live with this problem for that long. Please help. Is there anything I can do, anything over the counter I could get to help? What do you suggest?
