Is this bv or something else?

Posted , 2 users are following.

I've already written a post about my bv symptoms on here a month ago, but it still hasnt really gone away. I've been tested for sti's and vaginal infections twice now and the only thing that came back as positive was candida (yeast infection) on my second test. I got treated and my symptoms went away for about a week but i can already feel them coming back. I have a fishy odor in my vagina and more discharge than normal. The discharge doesnt look abnormal, theres just more than i usually have. I'm getting very frustrated and embarrassed by the smell at this point. I recently bought a new vaping device around the time my symptoms started - could this just be a side effect from vaping/does vaping throw off vaginal ph? On my first vaginal test it did show up that my ph was 7.0 which is not normal. Do you know what this could be? Please help, thanks

    Hi anything can set off you ph balance, mainly your period and semen believe it or not, i do smoke so i already know i am prone to this its been like 2 years on and off with this pest, when i do get it sometimes it really bad as far as the smell and discharge, times its not bad but ive learn to control it with the boric acid it's not a cure but it keeps it at bay im fine with that, after having this ive learned alot about my vagina lol i do alot of research on this, now i just started taking my probiotics again that is something i have to learn to take for a while and not break the cycle because i feel its not working fast enough to give it time to work, now the antiobiotic pills are strong for me, so i dont take them, i dont douche at all thats bad for you, Now a lady told me to get the clindamycin the gel for the vagina now thats something ive never tried ive had the metrondozile gel that didnt work, so i will try that one, she said she been bv free for 4 months now, i cant even get 2 months lol! hope this was helpful
