I’ve seemed to fall back into having some anxiety issues that I used to have years ago. I think I started to notice about two months ago after having complications from a surgery. I had a panic attack.
After that I’ve simply fallen apart. I started to experience issues in my genitals. It started simply by feeling off, I thought I had a yeast infection, then I thought I was feeling air bubbles, it moved into pelvic pain, and the uncomfortable feeling just became worse.
I went to my gynecologist and asked for STI screening. It was irrational to ask because I’ve been married and with my husband for 10 years. He went through with the screwing and all tests came back negative. A moderately sized ovarian cyst was found, however that could at least explain the pelvic pain.
I am still experiencing vaginal itching and burning. There is nothing to explain it and it has me thinking irrationally. I stumbled upon an article that said anxiety can actually provoke these types of symptoms, even others that appear as STI symptoms like excessive discharge.
Itching and burning is all I’m experiencing. Throughout all of this I’ve never had a discharge or odor.
I guess I want to know if there is anyone else out there experiencing this. I should also share I’m 46 and peri menopausal.
