Not saying you should or shouldn't see a doc but it definitely sounds like a yeast infection. The one and only one I ever got burned, itched and had a cottage cheese like discharge (gross I know). Got it a week after the first time having intercourse. It scared the hell out of me thinking I had an STD. Anyway, the first time I used the meds, it burned like hell... So badly that I had to was it out. It will get better with progressive uses.
And just being nit picky, but urine tests are terrible indicators of a yeast infection. We do swab tests for suspected yeast infections.0 -
Get yourself to a doctor for a prescription for antibiotics.
This...I went to the MD. Knocked it right out0 -
This could be a number of different things. Even a toilet paper allergy! ... I had an incident like this over the summer and nothing natural worked or even those OTC yeast infection things - if it is still irritated after 3 doses of that stuff - it is not a yeast infection.
Perhaps it could be a UTI or bladder infection - if so, cranberry pills may help.
Honestly - when you don't know for sure, its just WAY easier to go to the dr. and get an antibiotic. I went months trying to find a "cure"...got nothing but months of torture. I went to the dr - and within 1 hour after taking the prescription med, i felt better...never came back, never had anything like that since.
acidophilus may be of use as well - depending on what is going on.
Oh yeah - when you go to the dr. actually try to get a diagnosis so if it happens again, you know what it is.0 -

But they're good to exclude UTIs & other stuff.0 -
First, DO NOT USE MONISTAT 1 OVULE - it will feel like an egg of fire ants has hatched in your hoo-ha.
:laugh: Yep, I was about to say the same thing, but not nearly as eloquently!0 -

But of course. I said I was just being nit picky.0 -
You have to be kidding. Get yourself to a doctor for a prescription for antibiotics.
Agreed! Whenever I've been tested for a YI, the doc has suspected something else until the test results come back. Also, the doc can give you a pill and ant-itch cream. I used an OTC treatment once. It didn't work and it was nasty squirting that slimy goo you know where!!!0 -

Okay...
So I had a yeast infection for the first time last year and I though I was gonna die.... I went to urgent care and the prescribed me a pill... It was called Fluconazole (Diflucan)... It did work a miracle.... Hope this help, oh... it took a couple hours to kick in though... Best thing is to go see the doc....0 -
If after 3 days of monstat you have no symptomatic relief or have discharge pain and accompanying lower abdominal cramping you need to get yourself to your doctor/walk in clinic or hospital before you have a kidney/bladder infection.0

there are lots of things that emulate a yeast infection and some of them can be very serious like toxic shock syndrome which could kill you so that is why we keep nagging you cuz we worry please don't take it the wrong way cuz I'm sure everyone means well. we just have your best interest at heart. hopefully the doctor has good news for you tomorrow. good luck and God bless.0

I thought you weren't meant to use OTC meds for yeast infections if you haven't had them (yeast infections) before?
Are you sexually active?0 -
