My sister just confessed and bawled her eyes out about something that has been going on for about a year now. I know that someone here will be able to help her. If anyone has had these systems, please respond with ideas.
Apparently she has been seeing a specialist for almost a year about a chronic problem she has been having that was first diagnosed as yeast infections. After having several years of a normal sex life, enjoying it and whatnot, she started to have ongoing pain in her vagina. It would stem from extremely itchy to so painful she couldn’t think straight. She would have days where it wouldn’t hurt, but it would still itch a little. Then a week later, full pain again. She was put on several different yeast infection medicines until a specialist decided that wasn’t what it was. What was it? He didn’t know. She was prescribed several different ointments and oral medicines, but none worked.
Here is a list of her symptoms:
Pain in the inner and outer portion of her vagina
Pain in the lower portion of her abs.
When her vagina is not in pain, it feels dry and itchy
Uncomfortable irritation at the start of intercourse – The pain will sometimes subside during intercourse, but the second she organisms the pain becomes excruciating.
Most of the time she can’t even finish having sex because the pain becomes unbearable
Her vagina (inner and outer) and her abs are in pain after using the bathroom
She has been tested for STDs and everything came up negative. She is so upset because her fiancé’s and her sex life has just deteriorated. One other side note, is that this problem happened after about 3 months of perfectly normal sex with her now fiancé.
Please help her!
