    Strange sensation in vagina after UTI and antibiotics? Please help!

    About a month or so ago I was given antibiotics for a suspected UTI (my first) - an intense sting and pain after urination and discomfort/burning in between. The first prescription didn't clear it all so I was given another dose of the same medication a week or so after.

    Anyway, a few days ago I began experiencing a very odd sensation in my vagina (?) almost as if there is something stuck inside there? I can't think how else to describe it.. maybe as though a tampon hasn't been inserted correctly? There definitely isn't any kind of physical object in there, so I'm quite concerned, I have never felt anything like this before!

    There is no itching or pain, and I haven't really noticed any discharge (etc). At least nothing too out of the ordinary. I'm 25 years old and have been with the same partner for a few years so an STI or something similar seems quite unlikely. Has anyone had this before? Is it maybe thrush or a yeast infection? ANY at all help would be greatly appreciated! Thankyou! xx

    It's the beginning of a yeast infection (I get a lot of them). My best guess why you get that feeling is the walls of the vagina are ever so slightly swollen, not enough to notice otherwise, and are pushing against each other. I only take antibiotics as a last resort for something because I always get a yeast infection.

      Thankyou for the reply : ) so do antibiotics cause this kind of yeast infection? Is there a way of getting rid of it without taking more medication or antibiotics? Thanks again!
