There is another common infection that women can get (actually it is more common that a yeast infection)
It is called Bacterial Vaginosis- Some of the symptoms you describe could be BV – however, there is usually a ‘fishy’ type smell that accompanies BV. (Not always, tho.)
This bacterial infection requires a diagnoses by a gynocologist, because it requires a prescription medication.
Before continuing to keep treating your symptoms, it would be wise to seek your doctor.
You possiblly could try using Vagisil or a 1% hydrocortisone cream or ointment (over the counter) and see if this might help the burning etc.)
Hope this helps.
Your decision to see a gynecologist is a wise one. There are, as others have suggested, a variety of bacterial infections that can cause the symptoms you’re experiencing. There are also some fairly serious non-bacteriological situations that can do the same. Most, if detected early, can be corrected…the earlier, the better.
