image I had sex with my long term bf (6 years) felt like my perineum was torn a little then 2 days later I got all of these sores. I've never had a yeast infection dont know what is expected. I'm 99.9% sure my bf hasn't been with anyone else nor have I. I am petrified of going to the gyno for it because it hurts so bad I can't even think about how excruciating it would be to get a pelvic right now. not to mention I lost my job 2 weeks ago so I no longer have health insurance and funds are extremely low. do you think this could just be a yeast infection? I did use monistat 1 yesterday and so far haven't had any relief... ps sorry about the tamp string. the day the sores showed up so did my period. I have since been wearing pads.image
