Ok... so last weekend I got a bladder infection, went to do the doctor and got medication (that was 6 days ago). On Monday though, I started feeling a lot of burning/itching in that area. I wasn't sure if it was in the vaginal area or not, so I felt around and the itching was definitely coming from the vaginal area.
Today it has been really bad, and it feels pretty severe. So severe, that I can hardly concentrate in class and it makes me want to cry.
I'm not really sure what it is. A lot of times, after I urinate, wipe, and then am back to whatever I'm doing for a few minutes, I'll start to feel some discomfort in that area. It almost feels like a raw type feeling, but it would always fade away after 20 minutes or so. At first I thought that it might be the scented body wash that I was using, as I read that can irritate the skin, so I stopped using it for a couple days. I thought it was helping but today I've had a fairly intense burning/itching sensation down there, with quite a lot of clear, liquidy discharge. Nothing seems to make it feel any better, and it almost seems to have gotten worse throughout the day.
I do a lot of walking throughout the day (on a college campus) and as it is hot out, I don't know how much the sweating/moisture contributes to that sort of thing. Also, I make sure I do what I can to help prevent things like uti's and stuff... I wear cotton underwear, wipe front to back, pee and clean up after sex.
Also, I went to the store and bought stuff for yeast infections, itch-relieving cream and stuff like that, but how long should I wait before I go to the doctor, if it doesn't clear up? And any ideas on what this problem might actually be??? Any answers are much appreciated.
