Yeast Infection?
I haven't been to the doctor yet, but will be going sometime soon (next week probably). I've had my infection for a year and half of that time I thought it was just a kidney or bladder infection. I use to get a lot of them when I was younger and went to the doctor for them. I would of went to the doctor when I first noticed signs of something else, but I was in and out of cities a lot going to my home town and to go stay with my boyfriend. I searched on the internet all the STD's and BV that it might be. My symptoms are very similar to yeast (white cottage looking discharge, burning, itching, redness, yeast smell, white puss on the outer side of the clit, and goes a little bit away when I'm about to start my period). I don't use BC pills or taken any meds that might of caused it. My boyfriend has the infection also and his relates to yeast too (dry skin flaking off and some redness). I have tried a couple OTC products. The first time I used it I thought it all went away till a week later so I thought maybe that from where I had it so long and bad that it was going to take more than one treatment. I tried a different kind of anti fungal but with no effects but a strong burning reaction. I told my mother about the problem and she had an extra tube of Relgard from when she had yeast for me to try so I did with no effects. My boyfriends mother gave me a pill she had to try (not sure of the name) that was suppose to be strong that I tried in hopes of maybe if I had it some places else in my body also to rid of it. I just had very little to no effects with it. My boyfriend has been trying the meds also that I've used to make sure we both rid ourselves of it. I read somewhere that there are 20% of species of yeast that needs something different than what most yeast meds have in them. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem, if they think I might have something else that isn't yeast, and if they do just a pap smear type of test or something more at the doctors?
