Suggest Treatment For Severe Itchiness On The Vaginal Area
I had sex about a week ago with my boyfriend and it was kind of rough but not really two days after I had a discharge and it itched and burned but I thought it was a uti but come to find out it was a yeast infection but on the inside of my vagina lip it stings and it feels kind of rough ? The discharge and itching it gone but I think I ripped the lower part of my clitoras?

Hi Thank you for asking HCM. I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to yeast infection. Soreness can be present due to yeast infection. Using Clotrimazole cream ( monistat ) for local application will be helpful for this. If there is cuts in vagina then you can apply betadine ointment to it. Avoid soaps and irritants to wash the area and instead you can use saline or warm water. You can also use intimate wash daily to normalize vaginal bacterial flora and PH which will help to prevent getting such infections. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear. Thanks.
