Check the simple things. Are you using any scented products like "hygiene" sprays or scented pads? Stop using them. Are you washing your vulva and vagina with body wash, soap, or detergents? Stop. Rinsing the area with warm water daily should be enough to keep it clean. If you've got lube or oils on your vulva, using a plain soap like unscented dove or glycerine. Do you douche? Stop.
When your sure your not irritating your body with unneeded chemicals, you can start to figure out if you've got an infection. Yeast infections are very common, and can be transmitted sexually. The first time you get a yeast infection, you should have a gynecologist double check for you if you have one available. They can be treated with over the counter medication. If the OTC medication doesn't help (or makes things worse), it is most likely a bacterial infection, and you will need antibiotics. Bacterial infections are much rarer than yeast infections however. Most bacterial infections can be sexually transmitted, but some bacterial imbalances seem to spontaneously occur (they don't, but the point is that they're not all STDs).
If you are having sex without a condom, you can give your partner a yeast infection. Men almost never notice yeast infections in their penises, but they will pass such infections on when they have sex. One can get a yeast infection in the throat and rectum as well.

Sometimes in life people need to do a bit of thinking before they do things that later on they may regret. Perfect example here, I dont know how old you are and frankly i dont care, what bugs me is the stupidity of the matter(im not trying to insult anybody). The way I see it, if people want to become sexually active, I believe that a litle research prior to the "big night" should occur, and its obvious by the number of questions asked on a daily basis here that most of these people playing adult games have not researched enough. Like the old saying goes, "you play with fire, your bound to get burned." Learn your lessons litle boys and girls, in this day and age stupidity and ignorance will get you killed. Get with it.
ps. on a side note, friction would be bothersome at all times, however a yeast infection would do the itching part...good luck with that. Next time be smart and use a rubber. [ rudy's advice column | Ask rudy A Question ]

It could be an STD.
It could be a yeast infection or perhaps a bladder infection.
jbdreamer answered Thursday January 26 2006, 5:56 pm: My guess is that you have a yeast infection. You should go see a gynocologist - especially since you are sexually active - to be treated properly. [ jbdreamer's advice column | Ask jbdreamer A Question ]
