Itchy sensation in vagina
Hi,
The past week I have been experiencing an itchy feeling around the opening of my vagina and also around my labia and vulva, sometimes when I urinate it stings too. In January this year I contracted chlamydia (I would have only had it about 3 weeks maximum) and got the all clear completely in March. However, my symptoms for that were completely different. I didn't have any pain but I was spotting inbetween my period and I knew that wasn't normal. I am just worried that this may be the same thing or could it be a water infection of some sort? I have a new partner but I know he has tested negative before meeting me so he couldn't have passed anything to me. Is it possible for my test to have been inaccurate? I'm worried I haven't been properly treated even though the retest results came back negative. I'm also thinking that the heat at the moment is making me sweaty and that's what's causing the itchiness/pain down there at the moment. Any advice to calm me down would be very much appreciated!
