baterial vaginosis

by Joalbert, Mar 21, 2007 12:00AM
I have put a question close to this one before, but I need to find out. I think I might have somthing else.  It's been months that i can't have intercourse, it hurts. My pap came back normal, but the doctor says that my pelvis is tilted. But the thing is, is I do get frequent discharge, and at times i get itchy in my labia. Can I have baterial vaginosis? Can a pap test come back normal, even if I have it? I need help, because it might take a few months before i get an appt. with a gyno. I don't know what to do. Please help, for the sake of my health and my relationship.

I have a tilted uterus also and certain positions are more uncomfortable but I learned to get around it somehow.  I doubt that has to do with the discharge though.  But as far as Bacterial Vaginosis you may or may not have that.  Or you could have a yeast infection.  BV may or may not show up on your pap.  Usually your doc can test for it right in the office.  They just take a swab of your cervix and put some alkaline chemical on it to see if it has a fishy odor.  If so, it's BV.  Or they may look under the microscope to check the cells right there also.

BV can have an odor but not always and it may be white or gray discharge, kinda milky.  But maybe you could try calling your doctor's office and speaking to a nurse to help see if you have BV or a yeast infection, or something else.  

Good luck!

I've done so many treatment for yeast infections that it can't be that. I did it twice on my own, then the doctor gave me the pill, twice also, and I did it again, because I was so itchy. I will have to try different positions, but I'm afraid to get pain as he enters me. I guess thats why they have lubricant.I hate that I have to wait so long for an appt. with a gyno, they haven't called me yet to give me an appt. Thanks for the advice. I also wonder, if they wait to long to find out what I have if it can affect my fertility. I hope not because I would like to have children some day.
