Hi
Thank you for your response. I was just wondering a couple more things. What are the chances that this is in fact herpes? I sometimes feel slight burning in my thighs as well as vaginal area. Also, I was reading about Cytolitic vaginosis...could it be that the anti fungal pills (I took many through out the year) and all the probiotics are causing a build up of Lactobacillus? I read that sometimes this can cause similar symptoms. The only time I ever get relief is when I have my period or the second week after my period ends but usually just for a few days....
Hi!
I can't tell you how many women have posted in this story in this forum over the years.
The stories are all very similar, and usually begin with a UTI or a yeast infection. I wish I knew exactly what is going on with these ladies and how to cure it, because it is SO common!
One thing I have told many women and it seems to help--the doctor who said DONT take any more medicine is right. What you need to do now, is to let your body heal and restore its natural balance. I encourage women to use probiotics and/or yogurt with live cultures of lactobacillus. I also encourage them to use vegetable shortening (Crisco) topically for relief of symptoms. I know this sounds crazy, but it helps!
If I hear more about this syndrome, or how to cure it, I will definitely post an article!
Until then, this is the best I have to offer.
Good luck!
Dr B
