Help With a GYN Prescription
| Mon, 12-01-2003 - 4:03pm |
My GYN just told me (for the third time, now) she thinks my frequent vaginitis, vulvitis, UTI, and yeast infection problems are being caused by my thong underwear, which is the only kind I wear and they ARE cotton. She wants me to wear only skirts with no underpants at all for the next TWO WEEKS and then go back for another consultation. She went so far as to show me she wears only a chemise under her dress because it is much more healthy than panties but still shields her skirt while seated! I didn't think to ask her, but I don't even know where you can buy a chemise! I have never gone without some sort of panty before, although I know some women do that, and I am just a little nervous about what others might think in a locker room or whatever, or how a boyfriend might react. If anyone here has experience with going without, or knows where you can buy a chemise or, I suppose, some sort of a short old-fashioned slip, I would really like some help.
Thanks,
Janet

I guess it's worth a shot, right?
Thanks again,
Janet
In answer to your questions, I have been on the pill since I was 16 but had no problems like these until I started wearing thongs all the time. I do use condoms, but my GYN is quite sure these are not the cause of my problems, either. Fortunately, I am able to wear skirts if I wish nearly every day of the year.
Thanks again, for your concern and advice.

It's good to hear your enjoying your new freedom!
Thank you to those who responded to my original question. You were right about boyfriends - I've found guys (three, so far)absolutely love the way I dress now - they think it's very sexy! It's so good to be able to have a sex life again I am overdoing it a little, making up for lost time!!
