Hi tigerlily,
There are several causes of vaginitis:
1. Candida.
2. Bacterial infection.
3. Trichomoniasis - a sexually transmitted disease.
4. Non-infections vaginitis which is caused by an allergy to sprays and douches.
To start off, I would suggest colloidal silver. Colloidal silver kills one-celled pathogens, even those becoming resistant to antibiotics. It is also effective against candida, should that be the cause.
Other remedies are:
Drink cranberry juice daily. Make sure it is 100% cranberry juice and not some type of cocktail.
Wear white cotton underwear and make sure that it doesn't contain any residue from detergent.
Avoid tight clothing.
Proper hygiene is of utmost importance and when wiping, make sure you go from "front to back."
Regular soap removes natural oils from the genital area that makes it defenseless against germs. For all my bathing needs, I use colloidal silver soap and skin bars, which also contain aloe vera. The colloidal silver contained therein will help prevent infection. You can get both the soap and the best quality colloidal silver at Curezone Sponsor's http://www.utopiasilver.com. By the way, they have arranged for a special discount fur curezone members and by using their coupon code LR001, you will receive a 15% discount on all of their products if they are not on sale.
Other good remedies are:
Have 8 oz of yogurt daily.
Soak plain tea bags in water, then cool in the refrigerator. You can apply this to the external area and it should prevent itching.
One last suggestion. Because of your history, see if this pain could be psychological.
My Best,
Luella
Bless your heart, tigerlily, this type of hurt can mar someone's life, especially if the abuse was in childhood. It may not hurt as much anymore, because you may have built up outward defenses, but the thing is, it still hurts, and it may be affecting you physically.
I would first make sure that the discomfort doesn't have a physical source. If it doesn't, I would suggest counseling and working on resolving this emotional pain. By your words, I would indeed suggest counseling regardless of the physical source. I can almost feel your pain from here. Healing from these types of issues are not always easy, as they cut deep into our soul, but healing is very possible. It just may take some time.
I wish you my very best,
Luella
