Ok it started about 3 weeks ago. Thought it might be a yeast infection, but did not really have the same FEEL or symptoms. Just a whole lot of itching in the entire pubic region and inner thighs...

But I did a monistat 1 anyway...not much change in symptoms. So I bought some extra strength Vagisil...HOLY CARP...I used it last night and spend the whole night in the bathroom with a cold wash rag trying to sooth things, and fighting the urge to scratch my self silly....it was like someone poured acid on me and I could not get it to stop burning, and itching, and swelling...

today is not much better, swelling has gone down, but not sure for how long or why!

I am afraid my sugars may be the trigger to the itch, but now it appears I must have an allergic reaction to what was in the vagisil....my inner thighs look burned, and the itch is now like a NERVE pain, no matter how hard or how long you scratch, the itch never stops...

I also now feel a pressure in my groin, almost like menstral cramps., but I had a hysterectomy 2 years ago, so no menses here!

I am at a loss as to what to do and have no DR available until Tues. the earliest!

Not sure if this is something the band is causing, but I am only 3 3/4 months out from surgery, so have NOT ruled out the strong diet change!

glad I noticed my ticker was wrong...

might be some sort of bacterial infection hun.. Unless you are not sexually active i wouldnt rule this out.

It sounds like you maight have bv-bacterial vaginosis. It's an infection where the symptoms are similar to a yeast inefection. An antibiotic should clear it up if thats the case. I had the same thing, and I was miserable.

Being as uncomfortable as you are, and considering your symptoms it probably is vaginosis as mentioned by a poster above, I would go to a walk in or th ER. I couldn't possibly wait until Tuesday. Fact is you'll probably need a prescription for antibiotics, and the sooner you start the treatment the better. Good luck!

Sounds like BV to me, too. The meds they give you for that work very, very quickly... go see your doctor right away!! It's worth it!
