I just wanted to add that there has been times when I havn't been on any medication homonal or otherwise, and it is till like it. To be completely honest I started having sex at age 14 and we used comdoms (only the one person) we broke up and 3 months later I was in the doctors office with what I thought was thrush. But it got worse and worse. The doctor never did a test he just told me I have herpes. The only time I get the symptoms of this is when I use soap to wash with It stings and then i end up with blisters and itching. So herpes is rarely a problem for me. But can herpes cause vaginal dryness?
