Infection

[Katie633]

My husband and I have a very good sex life and his penis is large when it is erected.  I am on the small size.  I've noticed the last few months that we've had sex, that I burn on one side of the vagina and had started to itch a week or two later.  Plus, my clitoris would itch.  I've notice lately, that he has been scratching himself and I asked him if he had a "problem".  He told me he didn't.  But, I still itch.  Now the itching has been spreading from the vagina, clitoris, anal area and now my eye's are itchy.  I do not perform oral sex on him, however, he does on me.  Could it be possible that he has given me a "yeast" infection or something else.  I am very faithful to him, but I am not sure of him being faithful.  I asked my Gyn to do an STD test and explained my problem to her.  She checked me over and said that there didn't appear to be any infection.  I had a total hysterectomy years ago and I don't get the "discharge" that women do that have all their organs intact.  I explained to her that there is always a 'yellow' stain on my white panties and she kept insisting that is from my urethra, but I told her that I could feel something coming out of my clitoris not the vagina.  Help me out here, I am at a loss as what to do.  I can't get a doctor to check me out properly.  I want to be tested for STD's and rule that out completely.  At least I would have peace of mind.  Why does a doctor decide otherwise.  If I ask for it...I should be able to be tested.  Maybe there would be less STD's in this world if doctors would test women periodically.  To heck with this faithfulness stuff...that went out the window with the horse and buggy.  I'd like a reply.

Here's another, "our US medical system sucks".  

Your doctor decides otherwise because really the one calling the choices is the insurance.   Also they are trying to save money/resources.   If you've got the money, go to another doctor who takes cash, they won't even ask you why you want the test.

if you were tested for yeast and nothing came up then you know this isn't a yeast infection.  

give your regular doctor a call and ask them to order a full std screening on you.  you might have to make up a story to get it done ( i.e. tell them you suspect your husband of cheating so that they have a reason to test you and usually then it's covered by your insurance too ).  sounds like you could use the peace of mind of a full screening even though it's not likely this is std related.

many things can cause itching.  our genitals do dry out over time and even if you do have your ovaries, it can still be an issue for you. has your gyn suggested topical estrogen cream at all to help strengthen your genital skin?  

has hubby been seen for his itching issues?  has he tried anything like an otc jock itch cream at all?
