yeast infection for four months

Hi.

So I took medicine for a bacterial infection and for a yeast infection a week or two later.  I have had problems ever since, for the past four months. I was tested for herpes and every other STD in October and all was negative.  Since then, the only contact I have had with a guy is fingering...once in December which didn't really change anything and once last month, which made me worse, as it was very rough fingering.

I don't understand why this is happening to me.  I never had problems before I used the bacterial suppositories.  I'm at the point of crying every day and thinking that maybe it is in fact an STD even though I know it's unlikely.  

I've been too a bunch of doctors, sometimes they don't see any yeast, they just see irritation, and sometimes they do see yeast.  

Please please please. I can not keep having nervous break downs about this.  I need advice.  I have tried eating garlic, using yogurt, taking probiotics, I have used diflucan twice in the last month...I think the infection might be gone but I am still irritated.  Whenever I eat anything sweet it gets worse a little later.  But I used to always eat sweet stuff and it never did anything...so why is it bothering me now?

HELP!

Wow i am experiencing the same thing multiple yeast infections, it does go away with Difulican and Tericonizole, but the outside   stays red and irritation. WHen i go to the DR after taking meds and they see the redness down there , some drs say allergic reaction to somethng i am wearing but that is not true because it went away along time ago with yeast meds when it first start over 3 years ago. I have been suffering a long time now and going to my 2 doctors. I even had a skin biopsy done there , no luck results were irritated skin , no cancer. I am not Diabetic nor have any immune propblems..Please help, don't know what to do.

while this sounds like a good idea, I don't have BV, I have a yeast infection and/or just irritation.  I may have some resistant strain of yeast or am just not eating the right things...My ph is 4.5 so i know it's not bacterial, I don't smell like fish...

What's weird is I feel better when I eat...but then feel worse a little later.  So I think it's like the yeast feeding or something.

Okay first I wanna say calm down...it will be okay. Start off with a clean slate when it comes to a VERY common issue all of us women suffer from. Push the reset button stop listening to your doctors cause all they want is your money. Its called big business...the answer is right underneath your kitchen sink.

PEROXIDE (3%) IS THE ANSWER, YES I SAID PEROXIDE...THE KIND YOU GET FOR LESS THAN $5 AT WALMART WILL MAKE YOU POO NANNY SMELL BETTER AND FEEL BETTER TOO : ) OKAY LET ME EXPLAIN LACTOBACILLUS
IS A HYDROGEN PEROXIDE PRODUCING BACTERIA (GOOD BACTERIA) THAT IS FOUND IN HEALTHY VAGINAS. WHEN WE ARE OFF BALANCED ( BAD BACTERIA "WHAT THE DOCTORS CALL B.V." IS WINNING THE BATTLE OVER THE GOOD BACTERIA "LACTOBACILLUS") WE BEGAN TO SMELL FISHY. SO WHATS A GIRL TO DO...AGAIN PEROXIDE IS THE SUBSTANCE PRODUCED BY THE BACTERIA "LACTOBACILLUS"...SIMPLY DOUCHE WITH HYDROGEN PEROXIDE WHICH WILL REBALANCE YOU! DOUCHING WITH THE WRONG STUFF (WATER, VINEGAR, ETC) IS BAD BECAUSE IT WILL KILL THE GOOD BACTERIA THAT ALREADY EXISTS IN YOUR VAGINA HOWEVER WHEN YOU DOUCHE WITH THE GOOD BACTERIA YOUR VAGINA WILL LOVE YOU FOR IT. ITS ALL ABOUT KEEPING YOU PH BALANCED...

...please read the study conducted ON WOMEN below:

The authors have evaluated the real efficacy of using hydrogen peroxide for previously treated recurrent bacterial vaginosis that is resistant to other forms of treatment. METHODS: The study included 58 women aged between 18 and 42 years old. Vaginal irrigations with 30 ml of hydrogen peroxide (3%) were prescribed in the evening for a week. The follow-up was carried out 3 months after the end of treatment. RESULTS: The results clearly show that the use of hydrogen peroxide in vagina can eliminate the main symptoms of bacterial vaginosis, and in particular the malodorous leucoxanthorrhea in 89% of cases at 3 months after the end of treatment, a result that is comparable to that obtained using metronidazole or clindamycin as a vaginal cream. Moreover, hydrogen peroxide facilitates the restoration of normal vaginal bacterial flora (represented by H202-producing lactobacillus) in 100% of cases and normal acid pH (pH<4.5) in 98% of cases; it also fosters the disappearance of clue cells from vaginal smears and anaerobic pathogenic flora from vaginal secretions in 100% of cases. The amine test became negative in 97.8% of cases. All results underwent statistical analysis and were found to be statistically significant. CONCLUSION: Hydrogen peroxide represents a valid alternative to conventional treatments for recurrent bacterial vaginosis, and associates the absence of collateral effects with low costs, excellent tolerability and real therapeutic efficacy.

GET A TURKEY BASTER AND FILL IT WITH PEROXIDE...LAY ON YOUR BACK WITH YOUR LEGS UP AND GENTLY IRRIGATE THE PEROXIDE INTO YOUR VAGINA AND LET IT MARINATE FOR ABOUT 3-5 MIN. IT WILL BEGAN TO FOAM. STAND UP AND LET IT RUN OUT. REPEAT THESE STEPS 3 MORE TIME AND THAT SHOULD ZAPP DA FUNK BUT OVER THE NEXT 7 DAYS REPEAT THE STEPS ABOVE ONLY ONCE EVERY NIGHT BEFORE BED. DRINK PLENTY OF WATER AND TAKE AT LEAST 2-3 LACTOBACILLUS SUPPLEMENTS EACH DAY. IF YOU FEEL A LITTLE TINGLE/ MILD BURNING DONT PANICK...YOUR VAGINA IS IRRITATED FROM THE IMBALACE. EVEN WHEN THE SYMPTOMS GO AWAY FINISH THE 7 DAY RITUAL. IT WORKS! TRUST ME I KNOW! I HAD THE SMELLIEST VA JAY JAY ON GODS GREEN EARTH BUT NOW IM FRESH AS A FLOWER : )
