Treated BV now have a crazy itch

Posted , 3 users are following.

So I treated my BV with clindamycin the pills and it cleared up (or atleast i hope it did its been on and off for 5 years now). I started to feel an itch on the top of my vagina/ and see the thick creamy discharge on like the second to last day of the pills so i treated with monistat 3 and a diflucan but three days later and the itch still remains just as bad as the first day. I'm not sure if i should just treat again (I have another diflucan ) or if I should go back to the doctors. Any suggestions would be super appreciated
