Internal & external vaginal Itching & doctors can't find anything wrong!

Hi, I've had internal and external vaginal itching for the last two months. It's driving me crazy. No yeast, bacteria, trichinosis or other STDs. No discharge or smell. Had hysterectomy in 2010. They took my uterus and cervix. Have ovaries. Blood tests show I'm in the beginning of menopause. I've seen three doctors and they can't come up with anything. No new soap, detergent, etc. Same partner (my husband). Wear cotton underwear. I've haven't been wearing underwear at night to let "it" breathe. Has anyone ever experienced this? It feels EXACTLY like a yeast infection, but I've treated for yeast even though the tests show I don't have it.

It may be food related. There is a group on Facebook called, Trying Low Oxalates. I would suggest you join and start asking questions. You may be eating a diet high in oxalates (spinach, nuts, tomatoes, some green leafy veggies, chocolate,etc.) which build up in your body and can cause a host of problems. I joined the group because I started passing kidney stones after being on a low carb diet. But, I have read others on the group that have your exact symptoms. Oxalate build up can manifest itself in different ways.

I had a huge issue that lasted for a few years.

I had an infection--it took three weeks of antibiotics to clear it up.

I also followed the above regimen as well--and it helped.

I think every woman has both yeast and bacteria in her vagina; it only becomes an "infection" when overgrowth occurs or an additional bacteria is introduced (such as an STD). And although I'm sure doctors mostly follow the same guidelines, I would imagine that the symptomatic tipping point for every woman would be different. I once had an issue with yeast. I was testing "normal" but I was miserable. My doctor tried several treatments, but nothing worked. It was only after I tried boric acid capsules (like Myself 09) that I got any relief. My doc had them made at a compounding pharmacy, but you can make them yourself with pharmacy grade boric acid and vegetable/gelatin capsules, size 0 or 00. If you Google it, you can find directions. They can cause irritation, so many people use them with Vitamin E oil or KY jelly. They are also only to be used vaginally and never orally. People use them for both yeast and BV.
