I’m a 17 year old virgin girl, who was stupid enough to have a random hook-up with an acquaintance of mines. WORST HOOK-UP OF MY LIFE, to say the least. This was the worst and the most dangerous one I had. I had it unprotected. There was no penetration involved just oral. He performed oral on me as I did to him, he had protect on, I didn’t. He roughly fingered me also, he fingered me so bad, he partially ripped my hymen, causing it to bleed a little. Once we done, I went home and took a shower and went to sleep, once I woke up, my vagina was in pain. I figured it was because he fingered me too hard. So I brushed off and expected the pain to go away. The extreme pain and swelling eventually went down. This all went down on March 7th, 2011, the pain is moderately weak and it comes and goes. I still feel the sensation of being sore, around my vulva, also I’m itchy. Moderately itchy, all of my symptoms are weak, but I would feel comfortable if I had some sort of idea and information before I go to the clinic.
Symptoms
-Kinda Sore
-Itchy (Inside of the lips)
-Little spotting (Probably because I was scratching at the spot)
-White discharge (Moderately thick and sticky)
-No smell (Everything smells quite fresh actually)
I have no visible bumps, cuts, lesions, or bruises, everything seems to be fine, it’s just I’m tired of this in and out itchy pain. What do you think I might have? I looked up my symptoms on STD websites and they keep referring me to the yeast infection section of there website.
If you’re in my shoes or went through what I’m currently going through, what did you do to cure it? Also if anybody has natural remedies, please share! I rather do something natural then get an antibiotic.
Thank you ahead of time and I appreciate everything.

I found this cream in the cupboard called:
‘DermAid 1% cream’
On the label it says this:
Contains hydrocortisone 1% w/w dissolved for improved effectiveness.
Use for temporary relief of minor skin irritations, itching and rashes due to eczema, dermatitis, cosmetics, jewellery, itching anal and genital areas and sunburn.

Do you think it safe to use?
It is an Australian Product

My vagina is sore to the max. My vulva around the outside isn’t sore but as soon as I touch or move the wrong way and it rubs against the inside skin of my vagina I want to scream. My vaginal opening is swollen almost shut, and when I put my legs together I can feel the inside of my vagina pulsating. But, there’s very little itching like I’ve experienced previously with vaginal yeast infections.

I did have sex the day before yesterday with my usual partner, and that day I was fine, there was no pain.. so I’m guessing it’s not just sore from sex. It only started to hurt last night.

Tonight I decided it was probably just a yeast infection and got the monistat treatment kit and treated myself, although it was excruciating trying to put the applicator inside my swollen vagina.

Please let me know what you think, if I should see a doctor or wait to see if it clears up. Have you ever had these symptomsand been diagnosed with a yeast infection?

A few days after my period, I noticed some itching around my crotch area. This went on for 2-3 days without becoming severe. I then had sex with my boyfriend yesterday, but it did not feel good, so I had him pull out. He noticed little chunks of white discharge on his penis, so we eventually came to the conclusion that I had a yeast infection. I have never had one before. We just went and purchased the generic store brand of Monistat 3-Day with three vaginal suppositories and three applicators (I’d heard that the actual Monistat brand burns upon application, so I didn’t want to take any chances with that). I am a little puzzled by the applicators and the suppositories, but I’ll figure it out tonight before use. I am 25 years old, to give some background.

I was wondering, since we had sex while I had the yeast infection, does he need to get treated as well? I have read that he could cause me to get another vaginal yeast infection if we had sex again after I treat what I have now. How does a male get treated for this? We will not be having sex until I am rid of this yeast infection.

Also, do vaginal yeast infections ever go away on their own, or do they always need to be cured with OTC or doctor-prescribed treatments? Are there any side effects of waiting more than a few days to get treated?

Thank you for any knowledgeable help and advice.
Thank you for all the responses so far. The itching around the vulva has gotten pretty severe today. I have researched and it seems that I have virtually all of the yeast infection symptoms (I have experienced an STI and even bacterial vaginitis in the past, and this is neither of those).
