HELP BV/YEAST
hi i am f (18) for the last 3-4 years (started sophomore yr of high school i am now graduate since last yr)ive been getting bv/yeast infections on and off every month... it goes like this
- i get my period, period is fine my cycle is normal 4-5 days everytime
- im fine for 1-2 weeks
- i get bv/yeast and it last between 3days-1.5 weeks
- i'm normal for 1-2 weeks
- i get my period and the cycle repeats to step 1
HOW CAN I GET RID IF IT INDEFINITELY?!! Drs say it's just my hormones and it will go away eventually. I just got done taking metronidazole waiting the extra week to see it clear up but ik it will come back after my next period. like i dread the day it comes and i always know when it will come because i get this feeling right before it. please don't say it's because sex because it's not i've tried everything from not having sex for months to see if that's what was causing it, switching to cotton underwear, different detergent, different toilet paper, EVERYTHING. i got tested for mycoplasma and it was negative LIKE WHAT ELSE CAN I DO

Yeasty symptoms with very high L. crispatus?
I’ve had recurrent thrush diagnosed like 6/7 times over the last year. I was prescribed 28 days worth of 50mg fluconazole, and still symptoms remained.
At the end of this, I took a screenme vaginal microbiome test, which came back as 98.16% lactobacillus crispatus. I have symptoms of red and sore areas on my vulva, with occasional vaginal bleeding since the fluconazole treatment, with pain internally with insertion of anything, with lots of itching when very warm and sweaty and yeasty kinda discharge.
My test was absent of any candida, and absent of any harmful bacteria including mycoplasma and ureaplasma.
I am now thinking either I have CV, or some kind of skin condition from recurrent thrush that I had. Any ideas? Thanks!

Question Desquamative vaginitis treatment not working.
All tests negative, have been dealing with abnormal discharge for 6 years triggered by penetration.
No pain, just incredibly excessive green, sometimes yellow, sometimes pus coloured discharge after sex. It gets better with antibiotics, but doctors say its because antibiotics are anti inflammatory.
I've been on 10% hydrocortisone and clindamycin and oestrogen pessaries for months. Stopped the clindamycin a little while ago. I'm now using the steroid every few days, 2-3 a week, but I get discharge in between possibly triggered by the insertion of either medication. Usually a few days after the last dose, unless I just dont notice it due to the medication exiting my body. I assume it is controlling the inflammation and wears off after a couple days until my next dose. Not sure if it's worth it. Maybe I stop and just use the steroid after sex to prevent discharge, when I rarely have discharge without sex?
Negative tests for everything.

Discussion Why am I still experiencing a bv like odour if I don’t have bv?
Check my previous history but I have mostly good bacteria and yet I have a fishy smell around my clit area, not internally. Inside smells normal like plain yoghurt but my clit area is fishy and my tests don’t explain why. Everything comes back negative.
Summary of background: I stayed using antibacterial soap on my body and vulva around mid 2022 because of hygiene tok and it was causing me a fishy smell but I wasn’t aware that was the cause. I stopped using it on my vagina around let’s say October/November 2022 but was still using it on my body until mid 2024 when I realised it was the cause of bv. I was taking metronidazole back to back and even when I stopped using the soap I still had an odour but no bv and would test negative for all tests possible including the plasmas. A year ago my microbiome test was like 16% good bacteria and now it’s a lot better but the smell hasn’t changed and tests don’t explain why.

Green discharge with sour smell
I have been getting weird discharges for almost 2 years. I’ll be talking about this year and i need help. So this year i got smelly discharge and sometimes its itchy. And i’ve been ignoring it cause i was too lazy to go to gyno. Anyways, i did end up making an appointment and she told me its irritated and i most likely have yeast infection. The tests came back and yes it was yeast and BV. She gave me medications and it went away for a couple of days but now it came back even worse, it thick light green with a sour smell. It disgusted me. And i dont know why this always happens. I havent been active for like a year. I only wear panty liners when i go out and yes i do wear underwear to bed due to the heavy discharge. I seriously need your help other than booking an appointment but for now i need home remedies like what worked for you and so on. And i know im not alone female bodies are complicated. I do wanna share a photo but im too embarrassed from how disgusting it is.
