Hi again,
So I'm wondering if my problem could be Cytolytic Vaginosis (an overgrowth of lacto-- the good bacteria). The symptoms would be the same and it would make sense in that NOTHING cures my supposed YI.
I am seeing mixed reviews on whether or not the condition is real, so I was wondering if anyone else has experience. I did do 2 baths w/ baking soda and I think it may have helped a bit, but I'm not totally sure.
Anyone have experience with this problem? The discharge is so uncomfortable and it looks like yeast and is itchy. My cultures never confirm yeast, so I'm really beginning to wonder.
I went to the gyno and she looked under the microscope and she didn’t see anything. Of course, that night, I start getting unbearable itching. I put a boric acid suppository in there. The next morning, I put my finger up there and get tons of white clumps. Of course…great…its’ back for sure and I went to the dr. yesterday. I have done EVERYTHING to get rid of this thing. Diflucan for MONTHS, boric acid, good probiotics religiously, Apple Cider Vinegar…the list goes on and on…
Like I mentioned, I got tested for HIV, negative, and diabetes. My doctor recently did a test to see if the cellular side of my immune system is working properly and am waiting for results. Anything else I should look into?
Could the white clumps I have now be leftover boric acid? I can’t handle the idea that I thought I was better for a week after 6 months of misery and it’s back again. I’ve done almost everything but drastically alter my diet. I drink less alcohol than I used to and try to cut back on sugars, but it’s impossible to do this to the extent I probably should. Please help. I’m really at the end of my rope.
actually it looks like the itty bitty pieces of white stuff are still there. ugh, it's infuriating!! just when i think maybe i got rid of it...nope! i used boric acid for a while which should help with resistant strains, and take probiotics, eat yogurt...i've done everything. awful, just awful
yeah that's a good point. i had this YI for 6 months, treated it for a solid MONTH, got my period and things have been better since. Oddly, the small bits of white stuff is up and down. Every time I checked before today, I had it, but the last two times it's been clean as a whistle. I'll probably go to gyno this week to determine if i still have it. can that happen though? why would it be there one minute and gone the next?
now when i put my finger up there, when i pull it out there is always tiny white pieces that look like toilet paper, but aren't. is this yeast? my discharge is clear, but i'm getting these tiny white specks of stuff in there...
