So this might be a stupid question but I feel I should ask it just in case. I've had thrush (or what I've been thinking is thrush) on and off since I was 2 or younger, and thrush pessaries seem to get rid of it for about a week before it comes back. I've been reading about bacterial vaginosis and my symptoms are so much more in line with BV and I was wondering if I might have BV instead, but if I do, then I wonder why the thrush treatment was working for me (even if it was only for a week), is it because thrush treatment could soothe irritation caused by BV for a short while, or is that not possible and I must have thrush instead if the pessaries were working?
