Re: miserable vulva
Hello Aijian and thank you so much for responding. This problem has really affected my life...
I'm 28 years old, and this started when I was 26. I live in south Florida. The main symptom is the itching. I also get a lot of yeast infections, usually right after my period.
I've had a lot of intestinal problems which began 3 years ago, my doctor diagnosed me with irritable bowel syndrome because I would get diarrhea, constant nausea and overall sick feeling, and a really horrible pain in the lower right quadrant of my abdomen. Eating too much, or certain foods, would leave me curled up in pain and I went to the hospital a few times. The pressure would cause a lot of bloating and it would hurt all the way down to when I pass a bowel movement. Doctors always focused on my ovaries and nothing resulted from that.
The pain in my abdomen is rare nowadays. It only gets bad when I eat too much. I completely changed eating habits and take the probiotics and I think that may have helped with the intestinal problems.
I'm still itching and sometimes my vulva gets red and irritated (usually after my period) which I always think is a yeast infection.
It never occurred to me to see a holistic doctor though. It sounds like a great idea. I'd rather find a natural remedy and the doctors aren't very encouraging. I'm definitely going to look into it.
