possible TMI - weird pain

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
I'm half asleep and about to go back to bed, but need to post and hope someone can offer insight. I think I might have a uti. Maybe. Just now it burned a little when I went to the bathroom. But that is the only 'classic' symptom I have and this was the first time. However, late last week I got a little itchy, worried about a yeast infection, but it went away in less then a half day. Yesterday and today I've had a couple of sharp pains that seem to be in my clitoris of all things. Anything touching there is uncomfortable. Last night I slept without underwear, which is unheard of for me. No physical intimacy between DP and i recently. What is this pain?

To add a couple of other maybe related maybe not things into the mix - when I was much younger (not even sure if I was sexually active then) I vaguely remember something similar, except the itch was HORRIBLE. So bad I left my retail job one afternoon for an emergency visit to my doc. I didn't have a yeast infection. We changed soap and I don't remember what else. The best theory that was come up with was that I was drinking too much orange juice. I've had little OJ since that time. But the last week or so I've been drinking a lot more, maybe even a couple glasses some days, because we get the kind with calcium in it. Too much sugar? But why would OJ sugar be so much more of a problem then other types?

Last thing - DP has some kind of ... rash? Something that makes his legs horribly itchy. While not usual, this isn't unheard of, though it's lasted longer this time then ever before. He's been using tea tree oil (gag) and some kind of anti itch spray or something that's supposed to help. We were changing the sheets every night, but haven't since Friday.

Jeez. I know I'm just throwing stuff out there, but can anyone comment? I can't go see my MW, but maybe they can call in a prescription for me. I'll call them, but I really wanted to post this first. Calling them and saying I have pain in my clitoris is a lot harder then writing it

I would give some witch hazel a try if it were me. It works great for soothing those 'regions', whether it be irritation, yeast, or even just soreness after birth. Yes, the same as in the Tucks pads but you can buy a big bottle of it for next to nothing, and put it in a peri bottle to apply, then blot slightly or not at all. If I am really irritated or sore then it will burn for a few seconds but it is seriously worth it for the immense relief afterward.

OJ is very acidic and I could see that being a possibility as what you are reacting to.
kind regards,

Thanks Cindy! I stayed home from work today (extra sleep, yay!), no pain or burning, but def uncomfortable if I put underwear on, so I have no idea what is going on. I will run out to the store and get that. If I remember correctly I can get UTI tests from the pharmacy, so maybe I'll pick up that too just to check.
