Sexual Problems Occuring
Recently my girlfriend and I have been noticing some concerns coming from the behavior of my girlfriends body. One thing that concerns both of us is that she noticed that around her reproductive area was becoming red and itchy. Our relationship has been a good one. We have been involved in sexual intercourse for a while, only having it a few times a week. But she told me last night that the redness and the itchiness is still bothering her. We have been not having any sexual relations with each other for a week now and issue has not gone away.
We both really enjoy the relationship, and feel that not being able to have any sexual intercourse is hurting us both. We have decided that if we could find a way to treat this condition and be able to go back and have sex again would be great.
The only thing that we found that has sorta worked for her is the anti-itch cream but only helps a little with the itching but not so much as with the redness. The other thing that I can think of that has caused this to prolong is horseback riding but not sure if that has anything to do with this condition or not.
Anyone has anything that they could offer in helping us out with this small problem and let us get back to normal lives again would be great. Thanks in advance who all help us out with this.

Yep, my guess to would be a yeast infection or a bacterial infection. Both which are common, but do need to be treated by a doctor. Once that is done you can resume a normal sexual relationship.
Red and itchy? She needs to see a medical professional and get a proper diagnosis. It could be a yeast infection, based on what you're describing, but if she's never had one before, then she will need to see a doctor before moving forward with any kind of treatment. As for the anti-itch cream, don't treat the symptoms - treat the cause. The cream is only a band-aid fix.
In the meantime, use condoms during sex. If it is a yeast infection, it can be passed to you (under foreskin and around head of penis). This would become a real pain if she got treated, then kept getting the infection from you over and over. Good luck!
