BV possibly?

Ive been experiencing itching and soreness on my labia above the clitoris. After it got too much, i took a canestest and it came up as either BV or trichomoniasis. I havent has sex in over a year now so i highly doubt it is trich. The only issue is with BV you dont tend to get pain or burning which i have.

If it wasnt for the test i wouldve assumed it to be thrush.

Anyone got any advice? Is it worth trying BV gel for a bit and see if that helps?

    Everyone experiences different symptoms so you might have it. My symptom is itching but it isn't a yeast infection itchiness like I thought it was at first. I went and got tested back in November I believe and found out I had BV. I would say, go get tested first to make sure and they will prescribe you medication. For itching you can put some coconut oil.
