itchy vagina ?

Question

I've recently got off nexplanon due to bad side effects so me & my partner started using condoms again. I've had two yeast infections before & each time I examined my vagina. My vagina looked raw, very dry, & itchy. On March 31 I shaved with a hair conditioner that I always use to shave, then I put diluted tea tree oil with coconut oil on to prevent razor burn & ingrown hairs (could this be why?). About three hours later me & my partner had sex with a Magnum bare skin condom (Does these have spermicide?) I peed afterwards. Later on I went home cleansed my vagina & applied diluted tea tree oil & coconut oil again. The next day I noticed a mild discomfort in my vagina, when I examined my vagina it just looked swollen. So I assumed the tea tree oil must have leaked down & irritated it. But two days later I still have it 🙄 yesterday I noticed white cottage consistency discharge So now I'm thinking to treat it as an yeast infection? Which I know tea tree oil can help those but what if that's what caused it in the first place? Or is that not possible? Overall I'm just anxious for it to go away! I only use natural remedys so please don't recommend otc alternatives thank you.

Answer

Pubic hair suits a purpose, a very important purpose. The hair provides a small pocket between the skin and the underwear that allows a small amount of air flow. The air flow is healthy and helps to ward off excess moisture. When the pubic hair is shaved entirely, it allows the underwear to rest flat on the skin, limiting air flow and promoting moisture which can often lead to vaginal infections. Bacteria and yeast thrive in moist environments and their growth is promoted by warmth and moisture. You can imagine that shaving all pubic hair off and wearing tight underwear and clothing daily will lead to a warm, moist vaginal area – leaving a woman potentially susceptible to infection. So to answer your question it's most likely an yeast infection due to you shaving. Magnums do not Contain spermicide! The coconut oil & tea tree oil helped add on to the moisture but it is okay to use it for your yeast infection! Never shave all of your hair off it may be cute but not worth it

Answer

Go to your doctor so they can confirm (or deny) if it is a yeast infection or not.
