I have pain down there up in my private parts. I hurts up about half way and it is throbbing. My doctor told me that I had thrush in my mouth so I was wondering if maybe it was just a yeast infection gone wild.

I was sexually abused by a boyfriend about 7 years ago and I am coming up on the anniversary of that so think it could be that also.

Do you think I should call the doctor or just wait it out? It is also about that time of the month.

Maybe wait and give it a day or two. I'm sure the self-cleansing mechanism of the "parts down there" will get rid of anything minor. But if it still persists after a day or 2, it may well be worth getting checked out.
The chance of thrush having moved down there too is very likely, I'm sure

Jbug, Alot of women that I know get pain RIGHT before there period starts, its pretty much like giving you a heads up. It could also be a bladder problem, maybe a bladder infection?
I dont know, But I know a TON of women who get pain like that a few days before there period.

My doctors and therapist always tell me, with any kind of pain that concerns you, you should put in a call to your doctors. it may be nothing, it may be psychosomatic (anxiety caused from the upcoming anniversary is causing you to pay more attention to down there so your head may be playing tricks on you) or it could very well be any number of heal;th problems.

alot of times when I have had pain down below it was anxiety causing psychosomatic symptoms, but there was a time when I contributed it to nothing at all don't bother calling, wait it out, it turned out to be a very serious problem that needed surgery to take care of.

my advice - call your doctor, schedule a routine down below check up, and discuss the problem with your physician or obgyn.

none of us here are your treatment professionals and are not here for the purpose of diagnosing others problems. so you shouldnt go according to what people on line tell you to do. what if I tell you to wait and it turns out at this moment you are in stage one cancer and your waiting based on my advice takes you into stage 4 inoperable untreatable cancer.

only you can make the decision of what you should do. you know your body and you know whether this problem is bothering you or not and you know your medical history of health problems and family history. go according to what *you* think is best for you when ever it comes to any physical or mental health problems.

dont ever trust on line people to make your health decisions for you. people on line cant do that for you, what people on line tell you to do may end up being very dangerous and could cost dearly in problems or even your life.
