Sorry if this starts off as TMI, but I dont post often,and dont know how to do a cut (help please!!) Hey VP, I am a first time poster, and a long time viewer of this community. Being in the medical field in an OBGYN office, you'd think I could figure things out on my own. Heh, im still learning that I dont always have all the answers. So here goes.
Yesterday while at my BF's house, I began feeling itchy on/around my labia (outer). Throughout the day, it became progressively worse. This morning, as I got out of bed, I realized that my entire vagina, clitoris, hood, and labia are all red and very swollen. Not to mention the extreme itch I have been experiencing. As I said before, I work in a drs office, and I took a look under the microscope to make sure there was no yeast. No BV. No spores, hyphae, nothing. It was also confirmed by my NP. (I didnt have her visually check me though, busy schedules!)I'll give a little history.
LMP-3 weeks ago.
BV- Began after my period ended, and lasted a week. I treated with Clindamycin insertable cream. All clear one week later. ( I do not suggest Tampax scented tampons)
Everything was fine for a week.
I had sex this most recent Saturday. No condom. No extra lube.
(ive been on Ovcon .1/.35 for 6 months)
Itching began on Sunday, and swelling/itching began this morning.
As I sit here now, I feel alot of tingling in my vaginal area, almost as if inside.
I also did a urine dip while I was at work to rule out a UTI, since I have been feeling a bit of urgency to go. But the urine dip was clear, no blood, just some white blood cells which im attributing to the thick, goopy, slimy discharge im having. It has no odor. White to clear.
Any ideas of wht this could be? Of course I googled "itchy,swollen vagina" and the first site that popped up said genital herpes. Oy. Anyone else experienced this? Ill take at home suggestions as well for comfort!
Thanks for your hepl in advance. I would appreciate any extra input.
