Vaginal Health :: Bad Yeast Infection - Cottage Cheese Discharge
I have a yeast infection. I've had it for a month. It itched and burned so much and I told my mom maybe 3 days ago. She gave me Canesten which I put on. She also gave me some pills which I take. I get so much discharge that is like cottage cheese (I know this is normal for yeast infections) and I get a lot. I've never had my period, I'm 13 and a virgin and today I looked at my underwear and near the front (like near my vulva or labia or wherever the pee comes out) there was blood! I was shocked and started thinking it was my period, but I looked on beside my pee hole (I sound like an id**t, gah) (I think it's my labia?) an there was a huge cut! I mean, I get cuts a lot on my butt but this was horrible! I had to wear a pantyliner and it was fine, but I went to pee and it BURNED so badly! I told my mom about the blood when I first saw it an i told her about the cut on the phone cause she was at work and she said it was fine but I'm scared! I also have little white bumps on my labia and I've had them for a very long time! They've never bothered me I always thought they were normal, but I just want to clarify it. Also, I hate yogurt and I know it really helps your PHD level but I think it's disgusting!
View 1 RepliesYeast Infection :: Vaginal Itching For A Few Days
Never had a yeast infection before. I'm 24, never been pregnant. I have been having vaginal itching for a few days. Not sure if it's a yeast infection because there isn't any abnormal discharge. It started A few days ago when I got off my period. My husband and I (who are both monogamous!!) had gone 2 weeks w/o sex due to my period and the week before we were crazy busy. At first I was a little sore after the first time we had sex so I attributed it to the "dry spell" for two weeks. But several days later I'm still having some itching. Nothing too intense, just bothersome. Should I seek treatment or wait it out?

The week before Easter I starting having extreme burning, itching, discharge, odor which increased after sex. Went to the Dr found out I had BV.

In the last week the burning and itching has returned but my Dr is saying I test neg for BV, yeast, along with a half dz std's that I requested her test for. At this point my Dr is saying it could be an allergic reaction? I haven't changed products.

I've been with my bf for a while and I've been getting yeast infections. It burns off on and on when I pee and itches inside my vagina. I looked and I notice whitish bumps. I don't have much discharge but it's white. The last time we had sex we had a lot a few times a day and sometimes it was dry we didn't take showers. Could it be a yeast infection or std?
View 1 RepliesYeast Infection? Itching, Burning During / After Sex And Urinating
I am an 18 year old girl who has had multiple yeast infections in the past year. At first not realizing what was going on because I had never had one before, I tried to ignore the symptoms. From last summer to October I experienced itching, burning during and after sex, and burning when urinating after sex. After doing some research I went to the doctor where I was prescribed fluconazole. My yeast infection was gone in a day. I started to have symptoms again in February and took the same medication and again it disappeared within a day.
A couple of weeks ago I began experiencing the same symptoms. I called in my prescription for fluconazole and took the dosage properly, it did not go away. I took another new dose the next week and noticed my itching went away but I still had burning during and after sex. I went to the doctor and tested negative for a yeast infection.
I have only slept with one person and he has only slept with me, so I know STDs are not a factor here. Was I misdiagnosed possibly due to the medication I had taken? It isn't a dryness factor in the vagina either.

For over a month now I've been itching a lot inside my vagina, like 1/2 an inch in on the wall of it. I've have a yeast infection before but I have never felt this. All there is is an itch. No burning, no redness, no pain at all. But coincidentally, I don't know if this is related to the itching, I've been having small cramps in my lower abdomen area that occur a few times a day and I have also end up having a couple spots of light pink blood on the toilet paper when I use the bathroom. I am trying to get in to see my gynecologist but it probably won't be for a few days to a week. My mom is convinced it's a yeast infection, but I just want to make sure. I want to know if anyone has had anything like this happen to them and what it was.

View 1 RepliesYeast Infection :: Ongoing Vaginal Infections
For nearly a year now, I have battled with ongoing vaginal infections. I started running into these problems a couple weeks after I first became sexually active (which was a little over a year ago). My boyfriend and I are monogamous, and he is the only person I have slept with. However, I keep getting infections, and it doesn't matter whether or not we use a condom. I have gone to the gynecologist countless times, and for the longest period all my cultures proved negative for STD's and infections. Only twice has it turned up positive for a yeast infection. To get into the nit and gritty of things, I have had a thick, yellow discharge with a foul smelling odor (almost like vinegar) and both internal and external (itchy) irritation. It also hurts to have sex, almost like a stinging pain (sorry about all the gross details).
I have done everything to try to ease my symptoms. I have taken many antibiotics throughout the past year to treat my symptoms and nothing has helped, and even if something does help, my symptoms return fairly quickly. My partner and I have been abstaining from sex for over a month now, but medications still will not do the trick. I have switched out my soaps to all natural ones, with no fragrances. I haven't worn synthetic underwear or thongs for a month. I have also been taking probiotics for about two months. Lastly, I have attempted the "candida diet" with little success, because my low blood sugar levels led me to feel extremely faint, and I quickly needed to stop the diet.
Thrush Or Yeast Infection? Discharge, Itchy Clitoris
I have always had a problem 'down there' since a young age and was told not to worry about it my symptoms include discharge that ranges from white to slightly brown and lately a very strong smell. What alarmed me was something that happened three months ago. Lately it turned out that i had little sensation in the vagina canal area and my clitoris ended up being very painful if it was stimulated too much. I've never had this problem before with my boyfriend and i haven't read about anything like this happening where the vagina ends up being sore and little sensation? I have recently seen my gp and she said it could possibly be thrush and gave me a course of Flagyl ( metronidazole) and a Clotrimazole cream that i apply outside of the vagina and inside via an applicator.

Men's Health :: Yeast Infection, Herpes, What Is It?
I am 23 years old and I have had only one sexual partner in my life and that was when I was 17. The relationship ended when I was 18 on a bad note finding out she was cheating on me. Currently, now 5 years down the road, over the past two months I've been having itching around my scrotum and down my butt crack. Recently I have had a few bumps appear on my penis under the skin that I wound compare to a cyst and nothing like a blister or open soar. I'm just really clueless on this matter and I want to get this cleared up asap and get an answer because I'll be getting married in 5 months.

View 1 RepliesWomen's Health :: Bacterial Vaginosis And Yeast Infection
I've been with the same person for 13 years now, we are monogamous. About 2 months ago, I started out what I thought was a yeast infection, truth be told I have never really had one up until this point, they weren't something I got at all. First i'll say i had been taking minocycline for my skin, i didn't take it everyday, just when my acne was flaring up, i had been taking at this time, to get my skin cleared up for the wedding. I went and got some monistat, which didn't help at all, this all occurred right before my brothers wedding. I'm assuming it was from the stress of the wedding, so anyway after dealing with monistat, and it not going away after 3 weeks I went to stat care, and they diagnosed me with BV. I took flagyl and it cleared up. I was normal for probably 2 weeks. UNTIL I got my period. So after the period I had that slight itch again, so 2 days later, i thought it was back. ( I should mention that in those 2 weeks that i was normal, i had a gyno appointment, my pap, and hpv test can back normal at that time) So i go back to stat care (I'm only going to urgent care because it takes 3 freaking weeks to get an appointment with my doc) So he looks at my urine again, and tells me there are no "clue cells" but he did see a bit of yeast. At this point i was also diagnosed with a sinus infection. So basically the doctor told me to leave the yeast go (which i guess is easy to say if you're a man that isn't leaking stuff from a private orifice of his body...( i don't know why he didn't mention to treat with monistat) but basically he told me to live with it for 10 days while on amoxicillin, because he said it would just come back after the antibiotic. So he also prescribed me diflucan. Diflucan, has not helped me one bit. Is this normal for many? I thought it might be weird since i have never taken it before. At this point I've been dealing with this for a month and a half. Also, i started the amoxicillin i went and got some ultimate flora, maximum strength for vaginal health with over 50 billion cultures. Which I've been taking religiously since i put the first amoxicillin in my mouth. (can i double up on these, and take 2 per day?) Anyway, so i take the first diflucan, and 3 days later no help. I did notice the symptoms ease up a bit, but still not gone. So i took a second diflucan and nothing... still the same crap. So i call my doctor who is aware of what's going on and he prescribed me 100mg of diflucan two times a day for 10 days. This seemed to be helping, the symptoms seemed to have eased up but never went away fully. I want to mention, I'm also on weight watchers so i have been eating basically lean protein and veggies for the past month or so. Lost 10 lbs, but anyway, I'm on my 7th day of the smaller does of diflucan, I'd say things were going okay up until last week when i got my period again. Things were okay during that time, my period ended just Saturday, and wow it's like an explosion down there now. I used pads which i normally never do, but didn't want to mess up the good that i was seeing. So Saturday was pretty bad, yesterday i notice things were back in full swing. I don't have much itching or irritation, just this annoying discharge that wont stop. I feel like I've been on my period for 2 months straight now. I wonder if maybe my yeast cleared up, and now im back to bv? Can leaving the yeast untreated cause bv? Can you have both at the same time? I can't figure out why this diflucan isn't working. I've never even taken it before this last episode. So last night i woke up and had this hard lump, it almost felt like a swollen vein, right to the upper left of my clitoris, it's not on the lip, but on the soft part of the skin between the clitoris and the outer lip, it really does almost feel like a long vein that is swollen, it's not so hard today, but it's definitely causing swelling, not enough to make me in pain, I'm just confused as to why it's there. I'm finally coming up on my obgyn appointment i made which is a week from today, and I'm getting to the point where i can't take it anymore and might just go back again to the stat care doctor because I'm sick of wearing these stupid pads, i feel like i have a wet diaper all day long. (also wearing the pads is causing boils on the inside of my butt cheeks, and thighs, from where the pads are rubbing. I'm one big bunch of miserable here. I have tried everything, except douching, i don't want to mess up the "flora" anymore than it is. Last Thursday, at my wits end i also went back to the health food store and picked up (from my research on the internet) cranberry, rephresh pro-b, folic acid, garlic, magnesium, evening primrose oil, Echinacea, I also was already currently taking vitamins, D, C, B, and a multi, i just added these other things to my routine, in hopes something would help. I'm lost, i don't get why out of nowhere i would have issues with this, first of all, and 2, i just don't know what to do with it anymore. Ever since the beginning of this I've been wearing 100% cotton undies, i have always wiped from front to back, i just don't get it. So currently this is what i take first thing in the am, I'm taking ultimate flora (1 capsule, and rephresh pro-b 1 capsule) can i take 2 of each of these per day, until it's cleared up? Can you overdose on probiotics?
Then i take my diflucan about an hour to an hour and half after. At lunch i take my multi, b, c, d, garlic, folic acid, and evening primrose. At dinner i take evening primrose, d, Echinacea, cranberry, and magnesium. I take my birth control at least an hour after that, and my diflucan in the evening. I try to leave at least an hour between everything so that i don't get interactions. I read about drinking baking soda water, but don't know how to do this, and not sure if i want to throw something else in the mix. I'm just very confused. I'm going on a vacation this year in 2 month, the first vacation I've had in 8 years, and i don't want this mess ruining it.
Vaginal Health :: Burning Itching Sensation
In my feminine area I have a very bad burning itching sensation that also feels like I have open sores in that area. When I am sitting down it is not as bad but when I am standing and walking around I want to die it hurts so bad. I am a waitress and it makes my life a living hell when ever I work that I have called in sick many times because it gets so bad. I have tried many creams, soaps and even just used water while I clean this area and they all make it worse. I have been to the doctors to be tested for UTI, bladder and yeast infections and all came back negative. My doctors wants to test for STD but I have never in my life had any kind of sexual intercourse.
