Hello ladies,

Right now I am dealing with a huge problem. All I feel is burning on my inner labia and vaginal opening, plus some twinges of itch. It hurts more when I sit or when rubbed or touched.

The pain first started after having sex with my significant other, who I love more than anything. It ended with me being in pain from feeling randomly dry and well, the next day I thought I had a yeast infection. I started treating the problem with Monistat (bad idea) and then came home to getting more yeast meds (helped but didn't work fully).

I switched doctors later on, and he diagnosed me with a bacterial infection. I thought this was my godsend, but surely I was wrong. I was prescribed Lotrisone (should be called fire cream) along with Flagyl for 2 days. DID NOT WORK.

Went on vacation to Canada, and the doctors all diagnosed me with yeast except for one, who again thought this was a bacterial infection. Feel a bit better, had sex again. Cycle starts all over again. Took antibiotics Flagyl with a weird reaction, sick to my stomach and anxious, and my pain has doubled. It's the second week on it and no improvement has been found.

My vagina still feels raw, with burning sensation, and it hurts to sit. It really hurts to sit and the vestibule just hurts badly. I don't know what to do anymore, I am totally depressed because of this. My quality of life has diminished and my 25th birthday, ruined.
