Infection...does This Sound Rite? Posted: 06-27-06 19:17pm
Okay so this is not really pregnancy
related, but you girls here give the
fastest responses...
Im having my first period since after I
had my son and he is 2 months old.. And a
couple days b4 this I started getting
itchy down there and ive noticed its red,
and a few bumps.. But not blister
like..And only hurts a lil bit..(sorry 4
details) so I go to the drs cuz the
itching is bothering me.. And he doesnt
check me at all.. I described the
symptoms to him and he just sent me to the
drug store to get yeast infection cream..
Does this sound like a yeast infection to
you.?? Ive never had one b4.. And since
he didnt even check me I dun wanna go
spend all that money if I dont have too...

I have the same problem... I am still
having post partum bleeding and for the
past 2 weeks now its been really itchy and
red down there... And when I bathe the
soap kinda burns down there. I asked my
mom who is an rn and she told me that it
sounded like a yeast infection.. I've
been using monistat or how ever its
spelled and I feel " sooo " much better
!!!

Oh I did but not much and I didn;t get any
rash or anything. Also I only started my
period when trey was baout 3 months I
guess cause I breastfed at first.

After I had my daughter, I got a yeast
infection. Oh .Lord was that a horrible
experience! It was so itchy and so
uncomfortable I could hardly stand it.
If it is a yeast infection, you will know
when that cream gives you relief. Ahhh!
Good luck.

I am only 16, and i've never had a
child.
But....I have had an yeast infection. I
myself got itchy down there too. And it
was red. It was almost like a rash like
content. It hurt just a little bit too.
Another way to tell, is if your
discharging oddly(funky smell, really
creamy, etc) . That's always a sign.
But yes, monistat (i think I spelt that
right), helped a whole load! It releived
the pain.
Hope everything goes right for ya!

You can get a yeast infection on the
outside too. That is a common cause of
diaper rash.
Your ph level in your body just went
through a major swing (having a baby) and
your *ahem* hoo-haw is paying the price.
It is very common to have this happen
after the birth of a child.
