Is it a yeast infection??

I’ve never had an STD, UTI, yeast infection or anything but lately I’ve been having some concerns.

A few days before my period I put on some generic thinx panties with washable padding in case I started my period. I hadn’t used them in a while and recently washed them in the washing machine rather than hand washing them like I normally do.

So while wearing those panties before the period but I started itching like crazy and so I scratched down there pretty intensely. Normally my whole body itches the week before my period and stops when my period hits so I didn’t think much of it.

But when I started my period the next day the itching didn’t stop. And when I peed it burned a little. And when I would move in certain positions it triggered the itch.

I’m still itching pretty badly but I haven’t been scratching because I know that caused irritation. It doesn’t sting quite as much when I pee now. I’m also off my period. Those are my only symptoms no discharge no odor just irritation, redness from scratching, and itchiness.

I haven’t had sex since July, and when I did it was protected sex. I have NEVER had unprotected sex. I really think the panties caused me to get a yeast infection.

I’m going to get tested soon but in the interim does this sound like a yeast infection? Just irritation ? Hormones?

Oh I also wear a diva cup, if that matters.
