I often suffered from vaginal yeast infections in my early twenties when I had a diet consisting of lots of starch, processed foods and sugars. Years later I had a constant burning sensation that would typically go away during my period and then return after I stopped bleeding. It hurt during sex, felt like burning and itching. I assumed it was recurrent yeast, but test after yest proved that it was not. Some of the doctors ended up telling me that "it was in my head", which was incredibly frustrating, insulting and unhelpful. Eventually I discovered "Cytolytic Vaginosis" through an amazing Nurse Practitioner at a Planned Parenthood. Overgrowth of Lactobacillus, the good bacteria, that produces lactic acid which literally burns the vaginal skin cells. I simply took a baking soda sitz bath and viola! Burning gone. (Lactobacillus thrive in acidic environments and baking soda will make the vaginal enviornment more basic to control the lactobacillus population.)I had to continue this one or twice a week for several weeks and it disappeared for a long time. If it ever comes back I just do a sitz bath with baking soda or a douche. (Be careful with douching and read about it if you choose to do it!) Also, if you don't have a bathtub a big plastic tub will work just fine, although you feel a bit silly sitting in it in the shower. LOL.
If you google "cytolytic vaginosis" there is a lot of information out there.
