Air bubbles in vagina. Sry for long post.

I have the symptoms of a yeast infection plus.  I never see anyone say anything about bubbles but I get bubbles.  A lot of bubbles.  I am allergic to garlic and I have no idea what tree oil is or where you get it.  I'm allergic to a lot of plants so I don't think home remedies will work for me.  I want to use the over the counter meds.  They worked when I was young.  I'm low on money now because I have so many bills to pay.  So low I thought I would save money by not changing my pad often when I was on my period.  That's what caused the yeast infection I believe.  But I have pain and swelling in the vagina and have always had that swelling for years.  Doctors (when I had insurance) looked and me and test me for everything in existence and say they don't know why I have pain and swelling, just some women do.  The yeast infection makes it more swollen so the meds can't hardly get to my parts.  I'm overweight (don't mind and don't want a diet and they don't work anyway staying fat).  I cannot see a doctor.  No med insurance and no money.  I just can't!  I have used up seven days treatment.  Can I treat myself TWICE with the 7 day over the counter stuff (I use the $4 Equate generic stuff at Wal-mart)???

Are you for real?
Inserting an icing decorator into your vagina? You must be out of this world or likely to be having a laugh!!!
I hope a year, your terrible problem would have been sorted by now. All the best.

Four days later.  I CANNOT SEE A DOCTOR I DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT HAVE ANY MONEY!!!!!  I get tired of people thinking that somehow I'm going to be able to shake down a relative or pull it out of an old saving account or apply for government aid.  I seriously have no money and no way to get any.  Why is that so hard for you to understand???  There will be no doctor to save me.

I bought these things that helped east the swelling, burning, and inflammation somewhat:  Greek plain yogurt 0% milk ($4), Frost-Ease Icing Decorator 4 piece ($2.50), and Equate Miconazole 7 Day Antifung ($4).  I already used Equate Miconazole for 7-days straight no skipping and it did nothing (mentioned last post) but this time I used only one applicator.  I used the icing decorator to fill the applicator.  The yogurt I put some in a separate container and from it I filled the applicator and inserted and used in vag canal.  This got rid of much of the burning which had previously had me in tears.  I am thankful for that much.  But I still have tingling crawling sensation like bugs are moving around (tho obviously none are).  I get the bubbles still but not as frequently.  A friend gave me a Vagisil Screening Kit  (2pH tests) but I never meet the requirements for testing they are so severe - cannot be before time of period, cannot have used an anti fungal for 72 hrs, cannt be after period.  I wish I could use the kit but it's restrictions are terrible.  Wish I could see doctors like everyone else.

Hello,
These air bubbles can be due to yeast infection. Candida is diagnosed by vaginal or cervical swabs and their microscopic and culture examination.Treatment includes topical administration of antifungal drugs such as clotrimazole (Femizole-7), miconazole (Monistat-Derm, Monistat Vaginal), nystatin, tioconazole (Vagistat Vaginal), or oral administration of drugs such as fluconazole (Diflucan) and amphotericin B.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

JC,  over the counter yeast remedies are usually very effective in getting rid of yeast or greatly reducing the symptoms,  at least temporarily.  It doesn't sound like this has given you any relief at all?  If that's the case,  it's probably not yeast.

It sounds like you may have bacterial vaginosis to me,  and using an antifungal makes that even worse.
