Vaginal Burning
NO - Not Again! That searing, burning agony with the first urination
that's all I need this morning! The harbinger of yet another painful day,
sometimes it is really difficult to be a woman! Why today? It hurts to
stand, it hurts more to sit, and walking is an abrasive nightmare. No
matter what, the entire day will be a burning, itching, uncomfortable
ordeal. Why can't my doctor do anything about this? I pay her enough.
Forget drinking today, no coffee, no tea, and the absolute minimal number
of urinations for me. I've tried the stuff from the drugstore, the grease
gun and the little wax bullets that melt in my hand and somehow always
fall into the toilet before I can insert them. What's the latest idea?
Spending all day on my back with my legs in the air holding yogurt inside
me. Am I doomed to yet another week with my vagina full of liquid medication
slowly dribbling out all night. All to no avail, waking up again to the
agonizing ordeal of my first urination. How many nights will it take to
make some of the pain go away this time? One week? Two weeks, like last
time? Wasn't that just last month! That 1-day miracle pill had no effect,
even after a week of using them, and they cost me about $20 each too.
How do these drug companies get away with it? None of their stuff works!
My doctor is no use, everything she recommends is the same as the over
the counter stuff. I've even resorted to douches of vinegar and that nasty
yellow antiseptic liquid. Of course they were no help. What do I do? Another
trip to the gynecologist, an hour in traffic, 2 hours in the waiting room,
an exorbitant fee, and yet another day missed at work just when I can't
afford it. Then she'll just give me the same dribbling greasy goo as last
time. How come they can cure leukemia and do heart transplants but they
can't get rid of my damn yeast infection! Obviously I'm going to have
to call Dave, so much for tonight's romantic candlelit dinner. If I lose
another boyfriend over this I'm going to scream! I deserve better than
this! Is this something you can relate to? Unfortunately it is a common
daily experience for millions of women. Even if your own experiences are
not as severe or chronic as this I am sure that you have an extremely
good idea of the ordeal involved with a Vaginitis or yeast infection and
can empathize and sympathize with such a plea. Something the male dominated
medical and scientific communities have failed to do until very recently.
I wonder how long it would have taken to be rid of this problem if men
had to go through the same agonizing daily horror. Well this particular
daily horror may be a thing of the past.
