Vaginal Itching really bad..?!
Question:
Vaginal Itching really bad..?
Ok
About two days ago I started to get really bad itching down in my genital area. Its more on the labia and around the clit and hood.
I've had a yeast infection before and I dont think that this is one. My labia has even gotten a little swollen and I want to just scratch the hell out of it, but with the painful swelling I dont.
I'm not having any discharge or anything along those lines. So I cannot figure out what it could be.
I used Vagisel and other products which have worked, but I am wondering why this is happening.
Any ideas on what it could be and what I could do to prevent it from happening again?
*Note: I work in a resturant as a cook, I wear jeans all the time and it get really hot in there since I work at the grill. After my shift....I always take a shower. I would think that maybe working in a hot kitchen might have something to do with it??*
Answers:
Indeed, hot sticky environments are yeast infections best friend.
Despite your reservations, I honestly think this is also a yeast infection. Try Natural Yogurt (bio) smeared everywhere and also, if you feel the infection may be inside, take a tampon and soak it with yogurt and insert this too. It is damn messy and best done at night, with a pad on for protection. But the relief will be worth it! The bio yogurt mimics the natural bacterial environment we have 'down there'.
If you really don't fancy this, try cannestan duo as it will hit the insides with a pill and also the cream will sooth the itching.
It's not normally a brilliant idea to wear anti perspirant in this area as it is sensitive, but there are some products on the market, that used sparingly may help with your lifestyle in future. (Try Femfresh) Also, try cotton undies and avoid nylon at all costs.
Good Luck!
