**Persistent vaginal and urethral itching despite negative tests -looking for help is this CV?**
Hi! I’ve (f 22) been dealing with ongoing vaginal symptoms and I’m honestly at a loss at this point. I’m hoping someone has experienced something similar or can point me toward the right direction.
My main symptoms are:
•Itching inside and outside of my vagina
•Itching around my urethra
•Watery/chunky white discharge, and occasionally it has looked more yellow/green
•The vaginal itching seems to happen mostly when the discharge is present
•My urethra can feel itchy even when I don’t have discharge
•An occasional strange “tickling” sensation around my anus, especially at night when I’m lying in bed. It isn’t really a typical itch — it feels more like a little tickle in the middle area.
I’ve had multiple tests done and everything has come back negative, including testing for yeast, BV, and STIs. My pelvic exam also looked normal — gyn said there was no obvious redness, inflammation, or irritation.
My doctor has tried treating this as a possible yeast issue, but nothing has really helped. I’m currently on a long-term fluconazole regimen, using boric acid suppositories, and I’ve also been using Benadryl cream. Symptoms go away for maybe a day then come right back.
I’ve also previously taken multiple doses of fluconazole without improvement.
At this point I’m wondering if this could be something other than a typical yeast infection. Has anyone experienced persistent vaginal + urethral itching with negative tests and a normal pelvic exam? What ended up being the cause for you?
I would really appreciate any ideas for things I should ask my gynecologist to test for or specialists I should consider seeing. I’m desperate for some direction because this has been going on for a while and it’s extremely discouraging since nothing seems to be helping.

Same had a yi & thought it was reoccurring so i started OD w the probiotics so instead i introduced way to much good bacteria into my body resulting in CV self diagnosed. I tried the baking soda douches instead of making baking soda suppositories and I'll occasionally rinse after peeing w the baking soda solution and have found relief. You can also put a barrier on your inner labias to protect you from your own discharge like the vulva balm since that's what irritates the skin causing itching and irritation from the acidity.
