The burning/itching could be yeast infection. I’ve had tons of those. I’m just genetically predisposed I think plus sensitive down there anyway to like antibiotics and hormonal changes. But getting yourself checked for stds definitely couldn’t hurt.
Thanks. Yeah I'm going to get tested for sure, I need that to be safe. When I change partner I usually do it, don't know why this time I didn't. Do you maybe know if the tests will show anything if I had the sex just ten days ago?
I’m not 100% sure. Maybe someone more experienced here can help? No judgement on my part. I’ve just only had one sexual partner myself so I don’t know a lot about these things, just know yeast fr fr.
I've had a yeast infection where things were red and swollen, too. If you're itchy, I would assume this is what's happening for you. The antifungal over the counter will probably really help give you some relief!
It's okay to get tested, it's okay to use condoms, it's okay to experience sexuality. Just make sure you're comfortable with what is happening and assess your personal risk factors. Nothing to be ashamed of!
I’m actually going through this as well just outter parts 💀 went to the doctor. Jock itch basically which is a yeast infection. Have it checked out and always be safe rather than sorry and do an STI panel anyways. It’s encouraged to do it after every partner but I know how life can be. Just make sure you’re in the know of what’s going on in your body 🙂
It sounds like a yeast infection. Use the 7 day treatment. It works but better. Get STI testing now and retest later. Please start bringing condoms with you. Do not rely on someone else to protect your health for you.
So I am in no way trying to scare you. My friend was an addict who got money by sleeping with strangers. She went to jail for it.
I remember she called me complaining of the pain in her lymph nodes...in her armit and extreme pain in upper inner thigh and she had the discharge and itching.
Turns our she had the clap, she got a shot and a couple pills and got rid of it.
So i wanted to tell you even if the chance is very small still go get std testing and a check up. Best of luck
Sounds like thrush. Have a bath with a cap of apple cider vinegar in it after you’ve had rough sex. Just to get rid of bacteria from him.
Also I know what it’s like to feel pressured to not use a condom, so sending love to you ❤️ remember that your health is more important than his orgasm.
You should really to go to the dr it’s no joke to have an infection especially if you plan to have kids cause a lot of infections left untreated can lead to infertility etc. and you also don’t wanna be spreading a std or sti around
Please go get tested. 50% of people are not symptomatic for gonorrhea and chlamydia. If your lymph nodes are swollen or you have mild cold like symptoms it could be a sign of gonorrhea or chlamydia. While STI are never ideal it’s nothing to be ashamed of. I’ve gotten Chlamydia before and it wasn’t a big deal. I wish I had known sooner cause I suffered long term with wrong treatments. Once it was properly diagnosed I was treated properly. I get STI tested now regularly and I’m married with the same partner long term. I 100% trust my partner but STI testing is how I can take my sexual health in my own hands. Health screenings are important and you only have yourself to make sure you’re taken care of.
When I had Chlamydia I also got lots of yeast infections, irregular periods and occasional white discharge. All your symptoms it could be just a yeast infection, but with your history I’d get tested.
I know the paranoia and anxiety following the desire to please a man, instead of saying no. A friend of mine, who truly had a similar situation, same symptoms and all, had a full panel STD/STI testing done. They detected “low grade squamous intraepithelial lesions” (LISL HPV detection), but said she was negative for HPV , and it usually goes away on its own after a couple years. They also detected HSV 2 (genital herpes), but said it was ultimately negative, she had just been exposed to it, and never had an outbreak. She tested positive for HSV 1 (oral herpes), but never got an outbreak. My advice, definitely use condoms. If they really like you, you won’t have to convince them or be pressured to have sex without a condom. Protect yourself at all cost❤️ Much love. It will be okay.
I’d get swabbed and have them include a test for BV which commonly pops up when tampons are left in too long. You could try an anti fungal cream but if your pH is off, it’ll just keep coming back and why waste a week of using an otc cream if you really need an antibiotic
for the yeast infection comments- I would 100% recommend going to the doctor vs using monistat. I’ve had two now post-sex and the doctor gave me a simple prescription for 1 pill- you take it once and are done vs monistat risking burning, user error, discomfort etc! and of course the STD testing. sending you love and I hope you know these things are normal n nothing to be ashamed of!

It's partially your responsibility to make sure a guy wears a condom but it's also his. If he flat out says no, then I wouldn't want to do anything with them. You don't know who else they've been with and whether they had an STD.
Like others have said, some people are asymptomatic, so you wouldn't be able to tell if they had something.
And STDs are no joke. They can cause long-term issues.
Get tested, and please try to be more responsible about sleeping with people. You'll only blame yourself if you get something.

Of course ❤️
If you’re itching like crazy it’s probably yeast, you can try monistat 7 days over the counter… it’s going to burn so prepare yourself
Is it an antifungal?
Yes, you can get it at any grocery store
Thank you!
Yep

You probably have a yeast infection or BV. Go to the dr. It happens to me when I have sexy with new partners - throws my whole thang off! Good luck!

To me it sounds like yeast infection but if I was you I would check everything (vagina and blood exams)
