Please Read. Sensitive Clitoris and Swollen Labia

[PC26]

My symptoms started with what looked and felt like a yeast infection under only the hood of the clitoris, once that cleared up I was still experiencing extreme sensitivity on the clitoris and/or the inner labia. My inner labia are swollen to some degree every day; sometimes sensitivity comes with this, sometimes not. When I say sensitivity I mean that every little hair, underwear or anything that touches my inner labia or clitoris is an irritant!! I can't wear underwear and I can only wear loose fitting clothing or the symptoms get worse. I've been dealing with this for 8 months now. I’ve been on a yeast-free and sugar-free diet for 4 months (this diet seems to help- even though I keep testing negative for yeast. Besides loosing 10 pounds- this diet has been AWFUL!!)

I used to feel a rawness under the clitoris hood and between the inner labia a lot, but I haven't felt this as much sense I’ve been going to the acupuncturist. It's very rare that I feel any  itchiness. My acupuncturist and the specialist seem to think these symptoms are a result from having bladder infections in the past (I have a sensitive bladder), DOES ANYONE THAT HAS A SENSITIVE BLADDER, or have had many bladder infections in the past, and HAVE SIMILAR symptoms as me?

I've seen 2 doctors and 1 specialist, none have really told me anything and ALL tests always come back negative (I was tested for herpes as well.)  I've taken Monistat, flagyl, cortizone (steroid) pills and cream and nothing has worked. The specialist has put me on a neurotransmitter medicine because she thinks the nerve endings in my vulva are misfiring, which sounds far fetched to me but at this point I'll try anything!

Is anyone else having similar issues??

Hi everyone, I also experienced the problems above with fierce itching and extreme sensitivity in my clitoris that lasted for months.  I was begining to feel like I would never be rid of it. I became miserable when I read that my sweet tooth might be contributing to the problem, especially when symptoms persisted even after I tried cut sugar out of my diet. I had all but lost hope until I found one doctor who knew exactly how to treat me and I recommend him to you all.  You see in my search for a cure I finally turned to our Heavenly Father for help.  I prayed earnestly for the forgiveness of all my sins, I thanked him wholeheartedly for all the blessings he brought to my life and I promised to serve and follow him faithfully before begging him to heal me of this depressing problem.  And, by the grace of our great physician Jesus Christ, a week later the problems were completely gone. Hallelujah!  Don't wait months like I did hopping from treatment to treatment and probable solution to probable solution. This suffering is too great for that. Seek God first and his righteousness and all other things will be added onto you!  There is nothing he can't fix. Praise the Lord!

Hi everyone... I have just recently stumbled upon this community and am having many of the symptoms listed above. I have had many UTIs in the past sometimes as frequent as monthly and now my labia has become VERY swollen and extremely dry and irritated... anyone still here?

I have yet to see my OBgyn...but about 3 days ago i shaved and noticed that my right labia was swollen...It doesn't really hurt and its soft so i'm really confused and it seems like the other side is slightly swollen now. I'm 7 months pregnant and haven't had sex for like 2 months since my husband has been out in a buisness trip...but he'll be back in a few days and i don't want to have sex just in case...My obgyn cant see me till tuesday of next week and he gets back Saturday :(....I don't think what i have is as serious as everyone here but did the sympotoms start out like this?....i don't notice anything getting better at the moment. Just looking for some advice and reffrence as to what the first sympoms are...i have no pain but they are swollen...Thanks

Oops, apparently I'm too fowl for this discussion group. Please mind all the ****** that were involuntarily added.

I'm a writer, with my first book coming out in less than two weeks! I've found my condition to be extremely disruptive of my creative process.

Here is my UNEDITED poem:


Who could write
when they're attempting to quit smoking, because maybe
it is the root cause of some unknown disorder
                                                                             — by doctor, by internet, by self —
that plagues between the thighs

Pruritus at night, at work, on bikes, during girl on
girl. Who could think
of anything other?

O, nocturnal infections
wake me at night, rubbing
Oooo good, Oooohhh ow! Rubbing
swelling, lichenification, likened
to a calloused middle finger
as if my vulva has been up all night
writing. Oh, share the f'ing words, won't you?

The smoking: not smoking, should I buy a pack? Should I just bum one
off the scrub I lent one to last week? Oh, I haven't smoked
for two days. Oh, maybe
Megan won't mind if I ask for a drag
just after I said
                                       "seriously, I'm quitting"

At work my hands
are down my pants, and yes
I keep getting caught
for it. I just want them to know
I'm not sick,
perverted
or horny.
I'm in irritation.

But instead we both pretend
that I was doing up my fallen fly
adjusting a camel toe.

I step out for a walk. Around the block
I light up a smoke.

I hope that that poem may help some of you... make you laugh at least.

Hang in their sisters.
