Thread: Vaginal burning while std free...Help

just a crazy thought here but maybe your partners semen could be irratating to you. i have heard of people being actually allergic to their partners semen. it could be far fetched but it was just a thought. and also have you changed your soap you shower with or detergent you wash your clothes in those also could be some culprits.

I had switched soaps a while back but I didnt like the new soap so I went out and replaced it with my old perfume and dye free soap. I also switched my shampoo around the same time, maybe I should switch back in case some of the residue is whats causing this. As far as it being my partners semen, I dont see how thats possible since I'm still experiencing the symptoms and we have not had sex in over two weeks. I just feel like I'm at a complete loss for whats going on with my body right now.

i'm so sorry to hear your frustration. maybe it's the shampoo. who knows. well give it a try and switch back.

I'm very sensitive to the bleaching process that's used in mainstream pads and pantyliners. After I started using chlorine-free products, everything was much better.

Vagisil is full of fragrances, which can cause irritation (sort of counter-productive).

I'm also sensitive to nonoxynol-9, any kind of "jelly" sex toys, and lubes that contain warming chemicals.

I thought I would update. I went back to GYN and they ran cultures testing for bacterial, fungal, or e-coli infections and everything came back normal (negative). Even my Doc seems kind of puzzled at this point.
I will definately look at the type of pads and tampons that I'm using.I too am sensitive to perfumes and dyes so this was one of the first things I thought about. As far as spermicides , bad stuff, I found out the hard way that it causes a severe reaction.
I'll try to keep updated as I'm hoping to figure out the miserable mystery.
