  1. Has anyone ever experienced a yeast infection without the discharge? It burns and itches a bit but not all the time.
  2. Has anyone also ever experienced a yeast infection with their gynecologist not seeing any fungus under the microscope? How long does it take for your yeast infection to get better?
  3. Can you have herpes without having sores or blisters?

The Long Story:

Hello everyone

I started having burning and itching without discharge 3 weeks ago around my urethra/vagina. I had been swimming/took a bath/had my period when it started so I couldnt really tell what had caused it. After my period was done I went to the ER for burning and lower abdominal pain/pelvic pain on the left side. She couldnt see anything. Vaginal PH was 5.0 and Leucocytes in Urinstix were plus 2. She said it is unspecific vaginitis and gave me Cefuroxime/Metronidazole 500 mg each twice daily for7 days and Fluomizin for the vagina (A cream against bacterial Vaginosis in Germany). I took it and it got better for around 5 days then the burning came back. I couldnt tell if it was urethral or vaginal. I felt some tiny bumps then I went to the ER and a resident told me it was Herpes!. I freaked out but wasnt convinced. I went to a specialist she said that is vestibular papillomatosis and definitely not herpes and that the burning is just irritation and it ll go away on its own. For the next 2 days I had horrible burning from my urethra especially AFTER peeing and pelvic pain on the left side and while peeing I sometimes felt as if a string is being pulled on the left side. I ended up in the ER again. Blood was all good. Urinstix showed leucocytes plus 3. The doctor said it could be a UTI and gave me an aminopenicillin antibiotic (it is widely used in Germany and scandanavian countreis). The pelvic pain got better and the urethral burning as well. Last day on the antibiotic I felt an itch and still some burning in the vulva area, sometimes left side, sometimes opening of the vagina with NOTHING to see and no discharge, went to Gyn, she said she can see nothing and prescribed me Nystatin ointment and fluconazol tablets just in case it is a yeast infection but she did not know what it was.

I am currently using the cream and it is a bit better (3rd day of using it and 3rd day after the fluconazol pill) but it is not completely gone and I notice it burns more after peeing and wiping . Is that normal? Does it take that long and does it sound like a yeast infection or could it be herpes even without any blisters or sores?

      I am okay but I still have this weird burning/tingling and I am extremely worried about herpes even without the blisters.
