I dont know what's happend to my vagina, around a month ago I used a sex toy i stupidly didn't clean it before use (sorry tmi) then had sex with my husband the next day I wee after sex always and clean myself. The following days I started getting symptoms of thrush so brought a canesten pessary and cream it didn't work so I went to the doctors and they gave me the pill it didn't go then I went back to the doctors and they did sti swabs and thrush swab with haemolyic strep and group B strep she prescribed me another pessary and more canesten cream, she said it wasn't BV all swabs came back negative but the horrible itching just hasn't gone its so weird as it will be painfully itchy for 10 mins and then it just stops for hours also when I wee if I really push the wee out and it comes out quickly it itches my vagina something horrible, I've been up since 5am with an itchy vag it did settle but im embarrassed to say that its now making me very anxious 😔 it's driving me mental and out of sheer desperation I used another pessary last night but it's done nothing. I've had sex over the Christmas period but always cleaned and wee'd after I'm not washing with soap but I don't have a bath only a shower so maybe it's dripping on to it idk
Please help me im at my wits end.

Edit to say I have a episiotomy scar from child birth and gets so inflamed and itchy also

Could be aerobic vaginitis but to my knowledge nhs doesnt test for this so you woukd have to arrange a private test.

It is a bacterial infection.
