Reoccuring BV and discomfort on right labia?
Since about the end of August/September 2008 I began having issues with reoccuring BV after treating a yeast infection in late July. Since then, I have had several reoccuring infections. I became sexually active in November [i was not sexually active prior] and that seemed to trigger another infection. Around thanksgiving my gyn prescribed Clindesse vaginal cream and the infection seemed to subside for about a week and then it returned. I wasn't able to go back to the doctor for a follow up because I was away at college. In January I went back to the gyn and I took a dose of metronidazole. There was no reduction in symptoms and I'm still having issues with discharge, itching, burning during urination and just general irritation. Recently, my right labia has been causing me discomfort while, walking, exercising or just laying down. Does this discomfort have anything to do with BV?
I don't have a history of any other STD/STIs, I do have a history of vaginal eczema and I'm currently using the Ortho Evra patch for contraception. I haven't had sex since december and I'm 19 years old. I've been trying to regularly eat pro-biotic yogurt but nothing seems to help. Does anyone have any insight as to how to get rid of BV once and for all? I really don't want to return to the doctor AGAIN, but I suppose I'll have to if this doesn't clear up soon.

i'm sorry to hear you're also suffering through this. i have an appt in two weeks and if i find anything out i'll be sure to post it.
I have had all the same problems. The burning, irritation, pain in the labia, but I also have pain in the vaginal opening that comes and goes. I took two courses of metronidazole. I am at my wit ends and just don't know what to do. I to been on pro-biotics and just nothing works. I also get shooting pain around the time of my period. If you find anything that works please let me know. I been getting worried since I can't seem to get over this. I don't want to have this the rest of my life. I hope you get over this and feel better soon
