havenomercuryginal itching before my period, is this normal ? It stops one o start and doesn't come back until after.. Another question is last night while masturbating, inorder to get off I usually hump something and since its wintertime I have been wearing heavy wool like sweat pants with no panties, i woke up today with a very, very itchy vagina and swollen, dry and red.. is this possibly from that or yeast infection, I'm sexually active aswell, outside of masterbating that is.
