Tested negative for BV and Yeast. Losing Hope.

Posted , 8 users are following.

Alright some basic info: I'm 21, virgin, have basically had symptoms of either BV, a yeast infection, or both for years now. Went to the gynecologist for the first time and I couldn't even complete a full pap because it was so painful. She was still able to get a swab test and I tested negative for Trich, BV, and a yeast infection. 

I have heavy light-dark yellow discharge, burning, occasional itchiness, and redness. 

So obviously something is going on. 

She put me on a 7 day course of Flagyl twice a day. Completed that, noticed no change. 

But if I didn't already have a yeast infection I do now. So she gave me 1 pill of Diflucan that lasts several days in your system. It has been 2 days and I have experienced no improvement in my symptoms. 

I've been crying nonstop for the past couple weeks. I just don't know what to do anymore.

    Hey! I’m so sorry you are so upset! I am too, I completely am in the same boat. I have smelly odor and discharge! I always smell and it’s so embarrassing. I have tried everything prescription wise and home remedies.... I take all the necessary vitamins and probiotic once a day to try and help. Nothing ever EVER works.! I am so sick of going to the dr and then telling me I have BV over and over. It won’t go away! I am losing all hope. I know it’s hard, but we have to just try and stick it out and live with it. Nothing else to do, I sit up some nights and cry too.. it’s okay to cry and let feelings out! Especially if you are like me and have nobody really to talk to about it. I wish you the best and I’m hoping we all find a cure.

    Hello brb.

    Same here! Im 27 yrs old now. I believe it all started when i was 18 as well. Was a virgin then. Had diflucan twice, had flagyl and another suppositories mixed with nystatin. It would seem to go away for awhile then back again. And then until i was fed up with it. Just accepted it and lived with it. Until last yr its gone worse. Its getting more and more offensive. Fishy smelling. Light greenish color. And its so disgusting it has affected my sexlife with my husband. I went to the doctors. Had doxycycline and metronidazole tablets on january. It was gone. But there still like discharge but not smelly anymore. Now its come back again. I tested negative for everything hiv bv yeast etc. And i only had 1 partner in my life that my husband. And now im afraid and paranoid wondering it will becomE PID and i wouldnt be able to give birth. Huhuhuh. I want babies. Bv causes miscarriage you see. Huhuhuhu

      Look up urea plasma and mycoplasma.  See if that could be it,

      I think they were about to do the test for mycoplasma but theyve stopped the trial for it. As its not routinely done here in uk i believe. Huhuhu

      Do you think its possible you keep going back and forth from BV to a yeast infection? Because the metronidazole can often cause a yeast infection, it did in me. Weirdly enough, I am on my second day of Monistat, and I noticed a HUGE improvement in my odor. Which is bizarre, because I didn't think yeast infections could cause that foul of a smell. Don't know if it will last though.

    Insist on ureaplasma/mycoplasma test!!!  That could be it totally.   Read the symptoms.  I’m pretty sure that’s what I have.  I go to the dr next week.  They told me on the phone that they do have that test available.

      How did the doctors go? 

      Honestly I don't think its likely for me. The listed treatments for ureaplasma are Levaquin, Doxycycline, or Azithromycin which I literally took all three antibiotics back to back around 2 years ago for a stubborn sinus infection. I had this same vaginal symptoms even then, and no noticeable difference. 

      By the way, I cannot stress enough, do not ever take the antibiotic Levaquin. I know everybody responds differently to medications, but this drug gave me PERMANENT damage to my joints and tendons. And this isn't a rare side effect. That may be a bit off topic but I just wanted to throw that out there in case you do have ureaplasma, and they try to prescribe it to you!

    I am 48 years old, married. I had symptoms of yeast infection 2 years ago. I was given Diflucan, Monistat, Metronidazole back and forth, pap smear all negative for std and bv. Then I have been taken a Nitrofurantoin for misdiagnosed Urinary tract Infection for 6 weeks and got worsed. Abdominal pain, itchiness, redness, discharges but there's no bad odor. I had 2x of cryotherapy to relieve itchiness . I was in GYN office 2x week. They want to throw me out because they think I'm crazy. Yes, I feel your pain and anxiety and it's hard to be a woman.

    I used to.eat sweet foods I think that was the culprit and preserved, and unhealthy foods and plus those antibiotics and antifungal medicine given to me by my Doctors oral or intravaginal made it worse. Vaginosis is a vaginal ph imbalance.

    What helps me is to take 2 tablespoon of Apple cider vinegar before a full meal (antifungal), follow a yeast free diet, a detox vege juice or smoothie from scratch, no sugar, take oral probiotic for women,(2 different kind, 1 in am 1 in eve), kefir(plain only) mix it with 3 tsp of ground flax seed daily(antifungal also), if you eat rice, only Brown rice in moderation(has probiotic), 1 lemon a day. These are few advices until your ph balance come back. Never put anything vaginally it will get worse homeopathic or not. It will take time. A year after symptoms is okay, my second year is better than last. As you go along you will know what to do and manage your ph imbalances . I hope this will help

    I had a similar situation where I had a thick white discharge that did not leak on my panties but would just sit in my vagina. Twice my culture was negative for everything. My natural advisor put me on a gluten free, sugar cane free, dairy free diet. In addition I began 200 billion probiotics that must stay refrigerated. After a month, I began taking once a day caprylic acid. Do not take more than one a day. You can use monkfruit sugar in place of sugar cane. I had a yeast over growth the doctors were unable to detect. It is now much better. I hope this is helpful.

    ASK ABOUT DOXYCYCLINE!!! I literally fight BV weekly and this past Dr visit I was clear of everything. He gave me doxycycline and so far my symptoms are going away. It's a broad spectrum antibiotic that kills bacteria that hides from normal antibiotics.
