I just finished my treatment for bv, but I've noticed a watery like/clumpy discharge. I've been taking probiotics, and even put some directly in that area so that the good bacteria would already be where it needed to be. However, after placing the probiotics in..a day after thisbky vulva was swollen, irritated, itchy, and raw. Is this normal??? I called my gyno, and they sent me some pills for a yeast infection. If this doesn't clear up, they want me to come in.  How many of you have had this occur after treatment?

    Yes. This is common after taking antibiotics. Your symptoms sound like a yeast infection.

      I figured, but I'm so used to the thicker like discharge that often accompanies yeast infections. The clumps though, are an obvious sign though. I'm on diflucan now, and I can't wait for these problems to be over 🙄.

    For me, getting the watery discharge at the end of treatment means that the BV is still there... it's possible you have both BV and yeast now? do you have any odor?
