Suggest Treatment For Vaginal Dryness And Itching After Unprotected Sexual Intercourse
Question: Hello,
Recently I did a threesome (unprotected unfortunately), and the day after I noticed what felt like the entering of my vagina was itching. I figured this would stop. The next day I noticed that it felt dry in my vagina plus the itching was still there. Today I got a little more worried, the same symptoms as yesterday but i looked at my vagina today and noticed instead of its pink texture it was red and the inner lips of my labia minors looked like it had ridges with little specks of white things.to me it doesn't look like bumps but I'm not sure. Just freaking out. Do u know what this might be. Thinking to see my gyne asap Monday.
Additional info. The guy has been a steady partner and this has never happened til after we did the threesome. I think it might be a yeast infection.but not sure. The last yeast infection I had was in 2013 but it wasn't itching or felt dry.was only the discharge,but now I'm worried because of the additional things.
