itchy clitorial area....too embaressed to go doctors...

[plusone]

i havent slept around or anything and neither has dh so its not sexually transmitted. It just seems really itchy and sensitive around my clit and it looks like dicharge sort of a white paste.I was wearing tights the other day and am wondering whether thats caused it as it was rubbing that area. Has anyone else experienced this and how do to you clear it up. Everywhere else in that region seems fine.

Could it be thrush? thinks that is one of the downsides of wearing tights.

[MamaGee]

maybe you got an infectin from wearing nylon underwear?

[MrsBadger]

you have thrush
no need to see doc
get Canesten or similar from pharmacy (grim one with tampax-type applicator and the cream)

[SeonaDancing]

god, go to the doctor, are you mad? sounds like thrush but i'd err on the safe side.

[Biglips]

can u see it if it got any white colour on it as if yes...its be thrush

[bundle]

bacterial vaginosis ? does it smell fishy?

Canesten

(I asked fo Canesten in the chemist once, and the stupid old bat behind the counter shouted to her colloegue out the bcak

"SAAAAAAAANNNNNNNDRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! THIS LADY HERE NEEDS CANESTEN, WHERE IS IT?" She might as well have just shouted "Have you got some itchy vag cream for this woman?")

Btw, that's the only bad Canesten buying experience I have had, and I was afflicted in both pregnancies all the way through

[IntergalacticWalrus]

btw, don;t be embarrassed to see your GP. They have seen it all before!

[chacha3]

you can get the tablet to take orally now if you got thrush to clear you inside then they sell the cream for the outside!

[IntergalacticWalrus]

and you can buy it off the shelf sometyimes in supermarkets, so you don;t even have to ask for it

my god we are tryin for a baby is that a symptom of pregnancy? whats bacterial vaginosis? Is it thrush? its mainly my clit thats ichy and not the actual vagina? I never normally wear tights but my stockings were ruined. I swear im more prone to infections since having kids.

i had something like this over xmas. wore no pants for a couple of days and washed 3 times a day, it went away...itches like crazy though!

[plusone]

sorry my gp is just an ass thats all and the women gp is always booked plus you know what these appointment systems are like now its just easier to sort it yourself.

[plusone]

yeah its that nice ichy feeling iykwim its not sore but sensitive

[chacha3]

its horrible cos you got to keep running off for an itch! lol

I would definitely get it checked out by a doctor before you start taking any medication. If it's not thrush, then something like Canesten could potentially make the problem worse.

If you don't want to go to your GP, then there should be a sexual health drop-in clinic in your area, maybe at your local hospital. Try looking on the NHS website.
