I had it last week and it was HORRIBLE. I asked on here about it because all I had was itching, no discharge, and a few ladies suggested the possibility of a yeast infection. Asked them to check at my OB appt. that day and sure enough....yeast it was. One amazing little pill prescription pill that only cost $1.06 had it completly clear within 24 hours (but the itching really stopped for the most part after about 2 hours!) but my dr said the overthe counter stuff would be fine too.
I was itchy on and off for weeks and it was horrible. I was told to treat for a yeast infection with OTC monistat.. helped for a week. Then had a culture done, no yeast infection or bacterial infection, however was positive for Group B Strep. So since I was itchy and had a yellowish discharge they gave me penicillin.. still itchy... treated for a yeast infection after the penicillin since they did say I could get one. Itchiness gone. Still have yellowish discharge which the doctors do not seem worried about..
I did notice that if I was very active I'd swell up down there and that probably was the main source of my itchiness. Can't even have sex or I swell up DH has been a trooper.
Re: TMI - anyone else itchy ?
