Vaginal Itching FAQ:
I’m on birth control (still my first month) and had *** with my boyfriend on Sunday– I bled a little bit, but I assumed it was normal (it was my second time). By Tuesday, I was burning a little bit, and by Wednesday it was flat out painful itching. I assumed this was a yeast infection, as I had had a bit of chunky-ish, odorless white discharge a few days beforehand, and treated myself on Thursday with Gynazole for what I thought was the yeast infection. I had started having a little bit of bleeding, but I attributed this to a secondary problem, or breakthrough bleeding from the pill (I also had been smoking over the last few days, and according to a few sources I’ve read, that can increase the likelihood of breakthrough bleeding occurring). However, I’m still fairly itchy/burny, and while it’s not as bad as Wednesday, it’s still unpleasant, and now I have pink, chunky discharge. If it wasn’t pink, I’d assume it was just the yeast infection, but I’m slightly concerned. Could it just be a combination of breakthrough bleeding and the yeast infection, or does this sound like something else? There is no odor. I’m planning on going to the gyno on Monday if this doesn’t clear up, but I’d like to know if anyone has any insight.

It might be an infection !
a pinkish discharge probably means there is blood mixed in.
See the doc. It could be something simple or something more. Vagisal wipes are good for itching.
tell ua doc all the symptoms and chek w/her regularly
It’s possible that your birth control has nothing to do with it.
I had these same symptoms before (or they seem the same)
It could be a bladder infection.
My doctor explained that since the urethra is so close to the vagina, and your butt, often things get into it, and reach the bladder.
Check your urine for blood.
Do you have alot of pain and discomfort while ********* ?
My doctor just gave me a prescription, i had to take 2 pills a day, and it was completely healed in 5 days.
If i’ve got it wrong, sorry.
But either way you should see a doctor.
