Bacterial Vaginitis? or Hormone imbalance? Help - Hormone Problems Message Board

Hi, firt time here... Need some imput please.Where to start... I had a sebucoucus cyst on my vulva, lasted 2 months,(tried everything under the sun from homeopathy, still isn't all the way gone but much smaller. Went to the Dr. who prescribed antibiotics, got major yeast infection, treated it homeopathically and with monistat. Now, 2 weeks later I still have a very pastey, thick, white nonoderous discharge. There is no pain, no itching, nothing just the abnormal embarrassing, discharge.I just had a clean papsmear before the antibotics. Anyone know what this could be? To top it off lately,don't sleep well, have many mood swings,get extreme blues, very low sex drive(even before first problem started), rarely get lubricated enough even when turned on,and as I read on another board I too have the swelling of my stomach, especially after eating, but generally it always feels bloated. Just don't feel my "normal" self. I appreciate any help.... Thank you

I can't stress enough how important it is to first have any unusual discharge cultured. So go to your doctor and have him take a swab so that you will know for sure whether it's normal discharge or as a result of yeast or BV. At least this way you will have peace of mind.

Thank you Aubrey,appreciate the quick response. Peace of mind will definately be welcome. I was just hoping I could skip the Dr. since I was just there last month, actually twice, getting costly..... I prefer homeopathy but still have to know what to treat, so I guess off I go to set an appt again...
Anyone else going thru any of the other symptoms that feels like hormone troubles?

I just posted a question concerning my yeast infection as well. I too did not go to the doctor, I just got Monistat myself. Going to the doctor is too inconvenient when you think you can treat it yourself. I think the discharge is normal. I have always had white discharge since I can remember. It's completely normal. As far as everything else, I think you are just noticing everything that is wrong with you or even normal and you are freaking out. I get like that sometimes too, which is what this healthboard is for...to help you feel normal!
