Can you masturbate while you are on antibiotics for a bacterial vaginosis?

I have already gone to the doctor and gotten an exam done. There were signs of yeast and bacteria so I am being treated for a yeast infection and bacterial vaginosis. I took one pill they gave me, and have another that I am taking 3 times a day, and a cream that I am supposed to use. But the pain/itching is unbarable right about now. It’s 4am and I’m awake and haven’t gotten any sleep at all. I was wondering if there was anything I could either soak in or apply to the area to stop the itching and uncomfortable feeling so I can actually function… Thanks.
Gah , i really want this to go away so I’m scared to start using something extra that might cause the meds or the current cream not to completely cure it . I need this to go away now! Thank you for your answer, I may try that.

I’ve been suffering form bacterial vaginosis for the past three months and it all started with this new guy I’m dating. We have both been tested for STIs and the only birth control method we use is the pill. I’ve noticed that after treatment for BV, I wait a good week to have sex with him again and within a couple days/week it all comes back again so I wonder if sex could be linked to the bacteria in my vagina getting thrown off? Or could he have the infection and keeps passing it on to me? I take probiotics everyday, eat yogurt and make sure we both shower before sex so we are relatively clean. Please help..I don’t know whats going ? I never had this problem with any other guy before..he is also the first one I’ve had sex with without using a condom.

I have had a fishy odor for awhile now. I have gone to the doctors before and got treated for it, but it came back… I believe it came back because I didn’t take my full prescription. So I went to the doctor again and got treated again. For some reason, THE ODOR STILL CAME BACK! I went to the doctor again and she told me I did not have bacterial vaginosis. I am confused, what else would cause a fishy odor if it is not bacterial vaginosis? I thought that was the only thing that would cause that smell…. Serious answers please and thank you.

For the past couple of months, I have been experiencing a brown discharge. At first it was a clear discharge tinged with blood. Now it’s just a brown discharge sometimes it’s stringy. It really isn’t a lot but every time, I wipe there’s brown. What could this be?

I researched BV (bacterial vaginitis) and saw that people were clearing it up with high doses of folic acid. So I took folic acid and the discharge stopped WHILE I was taking the folic acid every time I stopped taking the folic acid, the brown discharge returned.

There’s no way I can be pregnant. I’ve never had sex though me and my boyfriend do fool around. I am 22. What can this be??..help!!

What is it and is it fatal? My friend is in the hospital with one and I can’t see her because she’s in the ICU. I’m afraid it’s something serious!

Many months after an unprotected sexual incident, symptoms of STDs are still there. Yet all tests are negative, and I don’t have a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis. It feels like I am suffering from an infected episiotomy or tear, there is yellowish discharge, and the bottom of my vaginal opening is very red. There is discomfort from clitoris to rectum. 3 doctors are clueless. Anybody, any suggestions might help lead me to the cause of this… thank you.

I think I have bacterial vaginosis or an STD. I have been having sex with my boyfriend for over a year so I doubt I received it from sexual contact. It could be from wearing thongs, but I’m not entirely sure.

In October, I had a discharge that was whitish and an odor that smelled awful, like fish. I was so self conscious about it for a whole month that I left my boyfriend because I was too embarrassed. (It’s fine. He was leaving far away to college anyway.)

Then a month later, the smell changed to a more soury odor and the itching started. There is no visual evidence anywhere other than the discharge.
What do I have?
What can I do to prevent it?
I’d prefer not going to the doctor because my parents are very strict and I am only 17.
Is there any home remedies or things I can buy at like Walmart or something to treat this?
PLEASE HELP!?
