a lil over a week ago, i had unprotected sex & then took plan b pill. i think starting yesterday i've been experiencing vaginal itching?? also i'm taking medicine that the doctor said i may get a yeast infection, i'm thinking it's that but i'm not sure.

Accepted Answer

Yeast is possible: Genital itching is the most common symptom of vaginal yeast, and your question suggests you're probably taking an antibiotic which can trigger yeast infections. There are several over-the-counter yeast medications you could try; look for a product with active ingredient ending in "azole". But first check with the doctor who prescribed the antibiotic; she may want to see you in person. Good luck!

Question 9

vaginal itching on the outside of vagina. not a yeast infection. itching comes and goes and seems to be near my urethra?

Accepted Answer

: There are two possibilities for the itching. The first, is a yeast infection that has not been diagnosed properly. The second is irritation to the area from wiping or a caustic soap near the urethra after voiding. Eliminate any soap in this area that is not Dove, Caress, or Ivory and see if the itching dissipates. If not, see a GYN MD for evaluation.

Question 10

i am having vaginal itching and burning while peeing after i peed. it comes and goes. do i have a uti? or yeast infection?

Accepted Answer

Likely yeast, but...: Vulvar itching is unlikely with UTI but is typical for yeast. Also, "external dysuria", i.e. urine burning on the outside when it contacts vaginal opening or labia, is more like yeast. UTI usually causes "internal dysuria", i.e. pain more inside and usually would not come and go. But be careful: STDs can cause similar symptoms if at risk. Always best to see doctor for professional diagnosis.
