Went to Gyno and 2 times they looked under scope and saw "some yeast." When they did the culture, it was neg, but I was always using or had very recently used some form of treatment, so maybe a false neg? The only time I get relief, amazingly, is during my period.
I thought maybe I had diabetes and was tested. I freaked about HIV dispite low risk and was negative.
I've even been to a vaginitis center and they are completely useless. She hasn't seen yeast under the scope the 2x I was in, and culture was negative. She had me doing diflucan 2x a week for a month, even though I told her I've done this before and it DOESN'T WORK. She didn't listen.
In any event, I'm wondering if my problem could be Cytolytic Vaginosis (an overgrowth of lacto-- the good bacteria). The symptoms would be the same and it would make sense in that NOTHING cures my supposed YI.
I am seeing mixed reviews on whether or not the condition is real, so I wanted to inquire more on this. I did do 3 baths w/ baking soda and 1 douche w/ baking soda and it may help for a few hours but then its back. I've had similar ex;perience douching w/ Apple Cider Vinegar, so I'm not convinced it's helping. It's also been only a few days doing the baking soda. Is CV real? I've seen Dr HHH on medhelp say it's not, but I've seen one research study that seems to suggest it may be a real thing.View Thread

I'm not having any tears but I know for sure that can happen with yeast. Are you having white cheesy discharge and itching? If so, I would say you have a yeast infection. If not, I think low estrogen is a definite possibility. If it's low estrogen, you can easily get a cream to apply down yonder.
What have you tried and how long has this been going on for you?View Thread
