You need to see a gynecologist and be
tested for an STD. It may only be a yeast
infection but there is no way for anyone
to know that without going to the doctor.
Do yourself a big favor - buy some condoms
and have your boyfriend use them. You need
to protect yourself from STD's and
pregnancy.

I agree. You need to be tested. You should
have your boyfriend tested as well. That
way, you will both know.
In the future, you should request that
your partner have a test done BEFORE
having sex. That is the safest route to
take. Don't take any chances because you
never know what anyone has by looking at
them.

You might have a yeast infection or even
an STD. You will have to be tested for
all of that. Sex isn't supposed to
hurt...you aren't doing something right.
There is a book in th Dummies series "Sex
for Dummies" that you can try....I've
though about getting it myself. Sometimes
it hurts for me and sometimes it doesn't
and I've been doing it for 10 years.
Don't expect it to be the automatic
hollywood thing that it's made out to be.

okay well first of all, i usually do
request him to wear protection, but
because he asked me to marry him i thought
it wud b fine. second i know sex is sposed
to hurt sometimes, and im not saying it
hurts all the time, just the first couple
of mins. i have never seen a doc for stds,
so how would i be able to contact one?? i
have been searching but really have no
idea where to start.

Yes, but just because your engaged it
doesn't take away the chances of him
having an STD. Do you want to know hoe to
contact a doctor? Do you have a family
doctor or a clinic there, planned parent
hood is another great place to go.
Congrats on your engagement!

Since you are shy and obviously do not
want to seek medical advice just yet, go
to your nearest pharmacy, or even Wal-Mart
and buy the suppository for yeast
infections. Also, until you buy the
medication or seek medical attention, try
soaking in hot water with baking soda to
relieve the itching. If over the counter
meds do not help, then yes, you need to
seek medical advice. Does your partner
have any signs of STD's? Have you told
him of your concerns? Also, not to offend
your boyfriend, but a bath after sexual
intercourse will help this sort of problem
from happening again, if it is a yeast
infection.

You are welcome - hope it works for you!
I had a lot of problems with yeast
infections when I was younger, and the
meds always worked for me.

Hi,
I've been having a somewhat similar issue.
My vagina seems to get itchy (minorly)
after my period every once in a while and
I know it's normal to have a little
discharge, mine's stayed white-ish like
normal. Also, I have tiny, tiny cut right
below my vaginal opening... but I think
that may be from using tampons every
period. I am not sexually active with my
boyfriend either. I've been using Vagisil
a couple times a day which helps but I was
just wondering if this is something I
should worry about.
Thanks for your help.
