Cuts And Pain In Vaginal Area - yeast infection? Posted: 12-04-07 08:56am
I am in so much pain. I woke up 4 days
ago with a horribly swollen and tender
vagina. It was itchy and painful in
certain areas. I just got over strep
throat and was on augmenten, an
antibiotic, so I figured it was a yeast
infection. I did the monistat 1 daytime
suppository, but it didn't seem to help.
I don't know if I trust the one day
treatment that i am taking during the day.
I got my period the day after I used
monistat. Anyway, the issue is not
getting better. I don't seem to have any
blisters, I just look red and sore and
have some little cuts at the top of my
labia. I just ended a long term
relationship, and we had both been tested.
I was actually just tested again for
everything, including herpes, in may. I
just started dating a new guy, but he has
been tested (or so he says) and we have
always used condoms, no unprotected sex at
all. Do you think this is just a bad
yeast infection and a dose a diflucan will
help, or could it be herpes. I need to
wait until i finish my period to see my
doctor, but in the meantime its driving me
crazy! Please help!

Well, if I know what I know about yeast
infections, it does not include cuts on
the labia. It is a viral infection in the
vagina itself that causes a discharge that
is thick like cottage cheese at time and
itches.
One natural remedy you can try is to
bruise a bulb of garlic in some boiled
water soak a tampon in it and then insert
it into the vagina. Do not insert any
garlic into the vagina. Garlic has the
potential to burn in condense version on
the eperdermis, so imagine what it would
do internally.
There's something else in your post I
would like to comment on. You said that
you new partners says he is tested and
clear. Have you seen how recently he has
been tested, as in looking at the papers
yourself. You are entitled. Your life is
not a thing one should gamble with.
Taking someone's word on this issue could
prove fatal.
I would ask to see his most recent test
results, and even then, I would have
protected sex and test every three months
for six months before considering
unprotected sex.
Look at it this way, by six months, if the
relationship was crap, you don't have to
worry about any residual effects in your
future. A clear conscience , nothing
beats that.

It doesnt sound like a herpes outbreak.
It sounds more like a bacterial infection.
Try soaking in a warm bath with 1 cup of
baking soda. This will ease your swelling
and itching. But definately see a doctor.
You probably need medication or just
dilfucan like you said.

Your natural approach is a new one for me.
I make a note of it, for future
references.
