Neptune,
I don't know how you assume I didn't get it checked out?
I went to a nurse, a physician assistant and two physicians all at different times in that order. No one knew what it was, after taking samples and trying different creams and pills.
I'm still open to getting it checked out and treated, although now the symptoms are barely showing up anymore and I just don't have enough faith to keep spending money on getting no results.
You're right that it's pure speculation that it was due to kundalini in my case, but it's the only explanation I can come to. And it makes the most sense, seeing as how it developed at the same time that I started having deeper energetic experiences. It wasn't due to soap, because I changed to a natural soap at the time and even tried using medicated soap specifically for fungus (which was prescribed).
My EXPERIENCE is that kundalini can and often does cause nervous system malfunctioning in people, or healing crises. It's often ASSUMED that yoga has nothing to do with the nervous system, or that it should make our health perfect, but that is rarely the case in my EXPERIENCE. Especially with kundalini yoga, which is powerful!
If onomatopoios gets it checked out, and it's just jock itch, or just a soap sensitivity...then great. Then it makes sense to not discuss it in a yoga forum. But I am here to say that the symptoms may go undiagnosed and untreated by Western medicine...it's just a fact. Conventional medicine is not perfect, and anyone who says it is, is deluding themselves. It should be the first choice because it's direct...but when it fails other methods should be sought out, which the conventional medical model doesn't recognize and can't integrate due to legal issues.
Now, all that being said...I hope the "must we discuss this?" attitude will stop.
Yes we must, because it's part of the yogic path for many people. We have three yogis here, who seem to think kundalini and an itchy crotch might be related. I'm sure if you do a search you can find others.
If it offends you, please don't click on the topic. If you think seeing a doctor is best, that's great. So do I. But that's not all that there is to be said on the issue, by far.
