Itchy after sex! Please help :(
Everytime I have penetrative sex with my boyfriend I get extremely itchy hours after. The itching lasts for 2 days and then goes away. Mostly the surrounding area but on vulva too.
Some background , I’m pretty new to having penetrative sex due to vaginismus that I finally was able to improve after consistent dilator use at home. There is still a small amount of pain during sex but overall it has improved significantly. I never saw a pelvic floor therapist.
I can’t figure out this itching and it’s depressing me !
- We both tested for STDS, all negative
- I tested for bacterial infections , all negative
- I was treated for a yeast infection already when I went to gyno for this.
- We use condoms everytime and they are non latex (tried different brands)
- I’m using the same lube I used when I dilated alone so no allergy to the lube
- There is no pain after , only itching
- We’ve done intercrual sex in the past (with same condoms and lube ) and I never got itchy. So I don’t think my partner’s soap or anything on his body is making me itchy.
Basically it seems like it’s just the act of penetration that makes me itchy. Is this a sign of nerve issue or some kind of pH imbalance?
I have vaginismus but I just learned about vulvodynia today. Does this sound like what I could be experiencing? I would appreciate some help so much 🥺❤️
