Avatar f tn Is it possible that yeast infections can cause increased discharge but not have a thick cottage cheese texture?
Avatar n tn I'd rather use the creams. I'm currently battling an external yeast infection that has affected the top of my inner thighs (where the leg and vulva meet), my vulva and it's creases, lower abdomen and the very bottom of my butt. Also, near my vaginal opening I scratched myself too hard so there's scratches and it burns like a mother when I pee and the urine flows downward onto it. I am on the larger side of the body size scale (about 5'6 and over 300lbs).
Avatar f tn Other differential diagnoses for follicular keratoses is squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva, vulvar psoriasis, fungal infections etc.Do clarify all your doubts by your treating gynecologist. Do keep us posted. Take care and kind regards!
Avatar f tn Although vaginal itching is the hallmark of yeast infections and other vaginal infections (including sexually transmitted diseases, STDs), itching in the vagina and vulvar areas has multiple causes. Vaginal itching can also arise due to chemical irritants that may be found in detergents or soaps, douches and vaginal creams, toilet paper, bath products, feminine hygiene products, and vaginal contraceptive products.
Avatar m tn My symptoms include a VERY itchy vulva, especially the vaginal opening, a highly sensitive and ticklish clitoris and the area around the clitoris is also very ticklish but itchy, burning and raw vulva (probably from scratching but nevertheless), painful inner labia, a very dry vulva and difficulty getting wet when sexually aroused, which is not only frustrating but sex is painful and I cannot do it. I do NOT have any discharge at all, or any funny smells.
Avatar f tn Yeah sounds like a year infections I have one right now too it ***** you should talk to your doctor ASAP to treat it because your so close to delivery if you have it during birth it can be passed to the baby's mouth as thrush it's not a big deal and it's easy to treat but it's easier if your just treat yourself before hand
Avatar f tn Im just curious, ilang bullet paba ng albothyl ang dapat ma take para ma wala na yung itchy sa vulva area ko? Its my 3rd bulit na tomorrow pero itchy padin ung vulva at clitory area ko. Wala naman din antibiotic na ung iniinum na preniscribe sakin. Just 5 albothyl every other night lang daw dapat.
Avatar n tn My question is what would cause whiteing of the vulva and enter walls of vagina?
981930 tn?1259719703 Thick skin vulval dystrophy can occur at any age and is characterized by dry, reddened areas in the vulva, itchy vulva, shiny skin around the vulva, pain during sex and shrinkage of the labia and vaginal opening. Diagnosis is confirmed by cervical swabs and swab of the vaginal discharge. Till then keep the area dry, wear cotton clothes and don’t use any cosmetics or scented toiletries.
12172462 tn?1435281388 It also Does not burn when i urinate. The discharge stings and burns my skin (vulva) i go to the bathroom when i feel it and i wipe it off, and the burning goes away ! I went to my GYN and she said it was Bacterial Vaginosis and gave me flagyl to take for a week.WELL its been almost 2 weeks now and all she recomends is vaseline on my vulva like REALLY? The discharge doesnt really look abnormal and it doesnt smell weird.
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with hsv type 2 in february. i haven't had an outbreak since then. ever since then having sex with my boyfriend hasn't been the same. at first, i wasn't able to have sex with him at all but over time the pain went away, but it still hurts a little after a few strokes and my vulva will get swollen and I'll get little cuts (i think tears) right under it. they have never caused an outbreak and it goes away after a few days.
Avatar n tn Herpes (especially initial outbreaks) hurt like heck. It probably isn't herpes.
Avatar f tn t become worse... Sometimes minor infections, such as yeast infections or Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) can cause cuts and creases around the vulva. You can try taking a hydrogen peroxide bath in the mornings for 5 days; add/mix 1/2 to 1 cup of hydrogen peroxide (start with 3% solution) to a warm bath, soak in the tub for 20 to 30 minutes each day, if possible. Gently swish the water around your vulva during bath; once you dry off completely wear cotton underwear or shorts for maximum air flow.
Avatar m tn I have white blood cells in my urine which would suggest either infection or inflammation but when I get a urine test it comes back with no growth. I have had burning pain in my urethra which has irritated my vulva and also I have the urge to pee even after I just have finished. I am waiting for a referral to a urologist but am in constant pain while i wait to get an appointment. What could be causing this and is there anything I can do to decrease the pain?
Avatar n tn like I said, she has a discharge and initially it was very dark, almost brownish and it is gradually getting clearer, it is a light pink, but her vulva is not swollen whatsoever, so my question is, because I am not entirely sure yet, is if she is in heat? and if so why is the vulva not swollen? I do not plan on getting her fixed, we would like to have one litter, and that is it, i hope you can help.
Avatar n tn s to develop yeast infections especially in moist anatomical locations such as in ears, lip folds, facial folds, vulva, perianal area and more. The yeast is most commonly malassezia rather than candida. The infection that your dog may have sounds to be one of the following: an urinary tract infection, vaginal infection, or an infection of the skin of the perivulvar area. The infection could be bacterial, yeast, or a combination.
Avatar f tn Repeat infections that occur immediately following treatment, or a persistent yeast infection that does not respond to treatment, may be the first or, at least, an early sign that an individual is infected with HIV. this is wht is written on dis site...im so paranoid.please help!
Avatar f tn high levels of simple sugars, processed foods and simple carbs can be a contributor to yeast infections. Some food allergies can also cause yeast infections. Sexual transmission: men CAN have yeast infections (their doctors may call it "jock itch" which can make it tough for a guy to even know he has a yeast infection), and women who are sexual partners can also transmit them between each other.
Avatar f tn have Been having chronic yeast Infections for the past year. 2 months ago I got an UTI and after I took cipro two weeks later I got these flesh colored bumps on the side of my vulva that aren’t painful and do not itch. Just annoying to feel it there and very insecure about it...they look like skin tags but not sure. Have had one sex partner consistently in the past 5 months but he has no symptoms anywhere. Is it irritation from the infections and uti? Or hpv bumps?
Avatar f tn Ive been having a very mild tingling itchy feeling in vagina area for a week.Yesterday i experiences pretty bad lower back pain for a few hours that was cured by advil. Ive noticed slight lower abdomen pain mainly on left side but also in middle. And i cannot really tell but i may have a slight increase in urination. I have been tested a year ago for herpes a couple times and other STDs all negative.
Avatar f tn No other symptoms recently, but during my daily self exam a few weeks back, I began to see a dark line on one side of the inner surface of my vulva just above the vagina. It is not tender, and does not burn or itch, but since yesterday, it has become a raised purple vein. I have had intercourse more frequently than "normal" for me during the last few weeks with no complications, but wonder if this is an issue of concern.
Avatar f tn m close to 34wks pregnant and yesterday, i was at the beach and had a swim and this morning i woke up and found that my vulva lips are swollen like you couldnt believe, they seem to be bursting. the stinging pain is unbelievable and i cant even walk, i searched it up, and found no reference to it, i am now applying yoghurt to it and that seems to help somewhat.
Avatar n tn Its not a yeast infection because there is no itching or rash around the area yeast infections occur. its mainly contained in the vulva area. Anyone had a similar experience? Any help would be appreciated at this point.
Avatar f tn Sex hurts for me. Its like my vulva is swollen for some reason. No smell or strange discharge. What could cause this?
Avatar f tn I don't know what this is or isn't. I have a long history with yeast infections and bacterial vaginosis, but I recently moved to another country. I noticed itchiness in the vulva (which is sort of normal with me unfortunately) and I noticed some skin started peeling off in a thin layer from the vulva. It was tender but not sore or bleeding. Then about a week or two later in the middle of the night my anus and vagina were really itchy so I scratched too much.
