Consistent discharge, not really a smell just the regular smell of a vagina. How do you know if it’s the good or bad smell ?

could you get bacterial vaginosis if you trying to loose your virginity. because you never had sex before.?
could that cause it too?

No, I don’t really think my vagina’s trying to off itself, but clearly, I’ve made it very unhappy somehow.

I’ve had a yeast infection for 7 weeks and had tried everything to get rid of it. Even 5 doses of Diflucan in a row couldn’t kill it off. (I did all the eating yogurt and taking acidophilus stuff too.) I thought it was a resistant strain, until today, when I went into a doctor for like the fourth time.

Before this visit, I hadn’t had a full exam done down there — just quick swabs to check for yeast. Well, today, the doctor checked me out.

Her initial reaction?

"Oh my." She found yeast, but she also found a bitchin’ case of bacterial vaginosis. Oh…I also tested positive for what I can only assume is a pretty new UTI (since I haven’t experienced any UTI symptoms yet).

I’m taking Diflucan, Flagyl and Cipro to take care of all my problems now, and the doc says the only reason Diflucan didn’t kill the yeast last time around was because the BV was making my vagina a veritable breeding ground for nasty lil’ microbes.

Whew! That was long-winded. So, on to my questions:

Have any of ya’ll had any combination of yeast infection, BV and/or UTI at the same time before?

Does anyone know how to explain what might have caused both these problems to arise at the same time?

Any advice on how to prevent both BV and yeast infections in the future? I’m taking a probiotic with nice, friendly "good" bacteria in it already and have amped up my yogurt consumption. Any tips besides that?

By the way, if anyone tells me to "stop sleeping around" or to "shower, dummy," go play in traffic. I’ve had the same partner for 2 years, and we use condoms, and I shower and clean really well (but not with soap because that’s a healthy vagina no-no) daily.
Hey guys…no need to bother telling me how to treat yeast infections, by the way. I’ve had this one for 7 weeks and have researched EVERYTHING. (Turns out, the BV was the only reason the YI wouldn’t go away.)

And to the first answerer … I agree. The world is totally dying.

I think I have a bacterial infection. I have swelling and itching on my vagina. I thought I had a yeast infection, and treated it. It went away for a few days and now it is back? I have an appointment tomorrow, but now I have started my period. Is this a waste of an appointment? Should I reschedule?

I have been suffering from bacterial vaginosis for 5 years. help!!!!!!!

im 12 and a have a discharge its has an odour and i still dont have periods..Can a girl without a period be positive for a bacterial vaginosis?

told not to have sex for 10 days. i tried not to have sex, hard to say no to husband; had sex one time. do you think i have to go back and get more medicine.

what about ciprofloxacin hydrochloride tablets

I began taking an acidophilus/probiotic supplement from Trader Joe’s and after a month or so developed a bacterial infection. I know that the supplement is good for fending off yeast infections but what is the supplements relation to bacterial infections? Could an overgrowth of good bacteria cause a bacterial infection?

I had Bacterial Vaginosis couple of months ago. I was given 14 Metrodizonale tablets and I admit I didn’t really follow the instructions that well, I did miss a couple of doses from time to time. But it did work and eventually cleared up. Two weeks ago I have noticed it has come back though the discharge is not heavy as before. Its just a little yellow with that same fishy smell. Is this normal? Im a virgin btw.
