I've had the same partner for 2 years and have experienced this condition every few months, for about a week at a time. I have itching and irritation in the lower/back part of my vulva. I told my doctor during a routine visit (during which I was not experiencing the irritation) and he prescribed a steroid "clobetasol protionate". I used it for a couple days and my condition did not improve, then I read that it says not to apply to the genital region, so I quit with it. There is no odor, but occasionally a slight mucusy discharge that actually may be normal but I am paying closer attention to it when it feels unhealthy. Any ideas? ?
It's hard to say what the issue is, but i am curious if it is an STD. Has your partner ever been tested for any diseases? Even though you have been with the same partner, it is possible that he could have gotten a disease himself long ago, and now he is dealing with that and he may have passed it on to you. I hope that you can get tested so that you can find out if that is the issue instead. If not, does anyone else have any ideas? I am stumped myself here.
