I had very similar symptoms and seeked medical help for 4.5 months before I found an answer. No gynecologist seemed to be able to help me so I went and saw a dermatologist and was sure glad I did. I ended up have vaginal and perianal strep. The doctor swabbed and cultured the area and three days later I got a call saying I had strep. He said it is very rare and usually is only seen in babies. If anyone else is reading this and having similar issues please see a doctor about strep and don't let them convince you it's not worth looking for just because it is rare. My symptoms were cleared up after 10 days of amoxicillin. I hope this helps someone.

hope you are still around b/c your post was from 6 years ago! does the ladies choice 9 work for non menopausal women. im only 30 and have all of these symptoms for 2 years! i JUST KNOW my hormones are out of wack for a few other reasons, acne, my mood, etc. i have been tested for everything under the sun and everything came back normal and since im only 30, they wont do extensive testing for hormones. (insurance doesn't cover it either)

YES i also agree with people doing their own research for their health problems...now with the internet we are able to talk to many people who have had same health issues and who have found answers..i suffer from itchy cracked blistered feet for many years now...Tried everything you could think of to help .. went to doctors and was on the strongest cream medicine available...nothing worked until one day someone found some medicine someone else had thrown out in trash...at this point i am whiling to try anything ..so i try the first ointment ..from the first application next morning i couldn't believe my skin over night had healed and swelling went down , and that's what caught my attention first was there was no itching...i typed in one word that was listed from the ointment tube which was "yeast". then i typed in whats the connection with yeast and itchy feet...wow , the world opened up to me at that point...so yes , the internet is a wonderful powerful window for us all to use to our best interest...no doctor will tell you as much as you can learn on your own just by asking the internet....

That sounds like that could be my problem. I am 54 and don't take hormone treatments. I have suffered with hemerroids for years. I have been having the burning for several months now. I just started another treatment for yeast infection and it has set me on fire. Just had colonoscopy two months ago. Got very sick within an hour of coming home had to go to ER. My white cells where high and they said I must have a stomach virus. I went in well and came home sick? I will have to have them check me for the anal cryptitis.

Wow...I am also in menopause and I have hypothyroidism which causes itching. I too have been to my doctor and I am on medication for the itching and burning which takes it away. She told me my problem was sweating and also when you urinate, if you don't wipe yourself well, it will cause irritation. This is the most miserable thing that has ever been happening to me and I have been going through this for a whole year. What can we do? I just want it to stop.

I am a different respondent, but with the same symptoms. I use vagifem. I did not have these symptoms when I began using the medication, but lately have developed them. I am going to stay off the hormone for awhile and see what happens.

That's wht I was considering, my second thought was the flesh eating strep variety ... At first thought it was a fistula ... but the pain is excruciating, Half my clitoris seems to have disolved? Yet extremely painful. Bloodwork is negative for vd and std's, negative for cancer, herpein, ebv. One vacination of guardasil doesn't seem to matter. But I have a few rectal polyps , and was recently diagnoised with an obstruction and pelvic wall mass (that doesn't seem as much an issue now). I LOVE amoxicillin ...Rare, but strep really was a consideration ... It's seems that kind of painful feeling only vaginally and rectally rather than of a sore throat ... I HATE this world!!! Too many God Damn issues in finding paths to care for one another rather than so much being about lust! Went for communion and was called as a prostitute by the priest officiating the mass that day ... Sad when you can't count on God for rescue from a perverse world!
