Doc check up

Hi, have never heard of a 15 panel. How does that work and is this only in America or somewhere. Am in UK. I have been using Clindamycin as well and its not worked in over 6 months now. Have also tried probiotic yogurt, tea tree oil, hydrogen peroxide for more natural methods. Would love to know exactly what bacteria was causing mine. All they have said is that I have very little of the good bacteria - lactobacilus. So am taking pills of that at the moment. Thing with antibiotics is that it seems to be a vicious circle cos they kill the good stuff too. Sorry can't be of more help. Hopefuly someone else will be on here.

Is that like a bacterial culture? I had it done a few times, every time it came back a different bacteria, and these bacteria are usually the normal ones found in the vaginal environment, so not sure if its an overgrowth or something. I have suffered also with yeast, and an yeast culture is even more rare and difficult to do, so none of the docs i went to had it done. They usually diagnose with symptoms and/or microscopic examination of the dischage. 

My experience is that even if you find out which bacteria is causing the problem this time, sometimes its not always the case. THe next infection could be due to another different bacteria and reason being that your vaginal environment is thrown off balance by the many doses of antibiotics or suppositories that you put inside to treat the initial infection. 

My suggestion is to see what the doc says, but at the same time, keep trying out various methods such as boric acid suppositories(which is a bit more natural compared to the ones docs prescribe), exercise everyday, drink lots of water, take probiotics, eating lots of green veges and good omega oil like salmon, sleep before 11PM, just overall to improve your own body status. You need to build up a stronger defense!! I am still working at my routines and it still comes back, but at a less frequent rate. You are not alone!
