It sounds like you have a vaginal infection... such as a yeast infection.\n\nI would recommend seeing a doctor if this is your first encounter with a yeast infectiong.  I know it can be embarassing but it's important to know for sure what it is so you can have it treated. \n\nIf it is a yeast infection and your doctor confirms it, you will be able to tell what it is next time and just go buy Monostat (or other over the counter treatment).\n\nResearch has shown that daily ingestion of yogurt containing the bacterium Lactobacillus acidophilus helps in the prevention and treatment of candidal vaginitis (a.k.a. yeast infections).\n\n\nHope that helps.

Definitely see a doctor. It could be an infection so you want to try to get help for it before it turns into something serious. Hope this helped!

an itch is somewhere in your body that you want to scratch really very much. Itching can be caused due to allergy to certain types of foods, medicine, moquitoes, sunlight or warm weather in general.

I have to wonder if you may have a bladder infection. If it is a yeast infection which can be painful. It burns really bad. Some Yeast infection treatments come with a topical cream that helps. Also you should call the second Doctor and let his office know that you aren't feeling any better. I hope the best for you and you get relief soon. Drink plenty water and Cranberry juice.

These secretions are natural (as long as they are not accompanied by itching or strong unpleasant odor). It is your vigina's way of cleaning itself. \n\nIf you are uncomforable, try using panty shields that you can buy next to the sanitary napkins (kotex).\n\nThe origin of the problem is probably a slight estrogen excess. Probably does not need any treatment as long as that is the only symptom.

Sorry to hear that and I know how uncomfortable they can be. My best guesses are: Are you taking antibiotics such as tetracycline? They've been known to cause infections like this. Also, it may be an allergic reaction to your undergarments (I like cotton for this reason) and/or pantyhose. It could be from tight clothing rubbing, feminine hygiene products or perhaps an overly vigorous sex life. The other thing it might be is some sort of imflammation due to an infection such as candidiasis or cervicitis (especially if there's itching). In any case, since you are experiencing these regularly (you don't say how often though) a trip to your doctor is in order. This is a fairly common type of situation and your doctor will know best how to treat it. I've found some relief with taking acidophilis tablets, but you really need to see your doctor to rule anything serious out since there's a good chance it won't go away on its own and will keep recurring. \nI wish you well.

Fist off she could have an yeast infection,bladder infection or if you use sexual toys and if they are not cleaned very good then it may irritate her down there. If she is itching, burning, or stinging while having intercourse, going to the bathroom or while playing with toys then she may very likely have a yeast infection. If you do use sexual toys clean them very well with soap and hot water. Also if you use a lubricant then she may be allergic to it also. The first thing I would do is not have intercourse for 7 days and have her to use a cream like monistat for yeast infections, then if that clears it up then more than likely that is what it was. If not then try not useing sexual toys for a while and see what happens after no usage of them. then if she is still having the burning sensation then she needs to go and see her gynocologist or her doctor. Good Luck and if you need more information on yeast infections here is a web site for you.

It could be a laceration in the inner part of the vagina. The skin must have broken tissue because of the roughness of the sexual intercourse. Keep the area lubricated and wait until your vagina is lubricated, expanded and exited enough to receive a penetration. If you skip the excitement and go right in to the intercourse this may happen usually. If this persists go to your gynecologist as soon as possible to know exactly what the cause is. Take care!

Go back to the doctor. If you had a bacterial infection that was cured by an antibiotic, it could have killed off some of the good bacteria and left you with a yeast infection. That would cause itching and redness. Don't treat this on your own, go to the doctor, since you don't know for sure what it is.

Yeast infections are simply an overgrowth of the yeast normally found in the vagina - usually caused by a pH imbalance!\n\nThere are medications for it that you can even buy over the counter at any drug store. But I prefer the more 'natural' remedies - vinegar and water douches (NEVER EVER use scented douches - if you do, that's probably what's messing with your pH levels!)... and plain (UNFLAVORED) yogurt (inside AND out will help with the itching).

I can see why you're worried. Sex shouldn't be painful. It shouldn't make you bleed, either. That said - it doesn't mean there's definitely something wrong. But it does mean you need to get this checked out. \n\nSo please visit your GP and explain everything. You can ask for a woman doctor, if you prefer. Your doctor is likely to examine you internally to check all's well. It may be your vagina is inflamed for some reason - this would make it sore and likely to bleed. \n\nNext time you have sex you'll probably be scared in case it happens again - so please put your mind at rest and get this sorted.

Sounds like what you are descibing is spotting.  Definitely call your doctor though.  It could be as simple as rough sex that caused the bleeding, or it could be a sign of an STD, or an infection down there.

it's nothing to be too alarmed about.  You might just have a yeast infection down there, that causes itching but yea they do sell creams like lotrimin to put on there.  Try it it won't hurt a thing

Vaginitis (or Vulvovaginitis)\n\nVaginitis, now being called vulvovaginitis (inflammation of the vulva and vagina), is characterized by itching, redness, and a swollen vaginal opening. The three major causes of vaginitis are yeast infections, trich, and bacterial vaginosis. Vaginitis can also indicate the presence of other diseases. In addition, it can be caused by irritation as a result of insufficient lubrication due to hormonal changes that affect vaginal secretions.\n\nMenopausal women frequently complain of vaginitis, which is aggravated by intercourse. Lubricating the vagina artificially should clear up vaginitis caused by dryness. The next time your doctor tells you that you have vaginitis, respond by asking, “And what’s causing it?”\n\nRead link:
