I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this :( I’m in a similar place where I have itching and everything so far has come up negative. Go back to your gyno and demand tests for a FULL SPECTRUM yeast test (not just candida albicans, there are other types of candida and yeasts that can cause problems and they can test for). Also demand a test for mycoplasma and ureaplasma. I just did this and have results coming in sometime today. Hopefully something comes up that I can treat!

Be pushy. Don’t be polite or shy. And if they refuse tell them to make a note on your chart that they refused testing, then go see a different doctor that will give you these tests.


Here is more info on mycoplasma/ureaplasma

What my gyno recommended I do for now is the following:

Take probiotics. These ones specifically

These are good too

She also said do a boric acid suppository once a night for two weeks. These have had great reviews and i am using them now.

She also said i can put probiotics in my vagina. I go on my back and put my pelvis in the air like a shoulder stand, and then my boyfriend helps me by opening up the capsule and putting it into ny vagina lol. God bless him. My gyno said i can do it at same time as boric acid but i did it in the morning. Definitely wear a panty liner and bring extra with you to change throughout the day.


To soothe itching externally I mix aloe vera gel with lavender and tea tree essential oils. 1tbsp aloe vera, 8 drops lavender, 8 drops teatree. Make sure that the oils are high quality and you are not sensitive to them. They work well for me, and are antimicrobial.

This product is similar if you don’t want to make your own, and it gas helped me in the past.

This is what I’m doing for the time being and I think it it helping. I am on day 5 right now and itching has gone down a bit.

Also, I know this sucks, try to avoid sex while you are treating it and at least two weeks after. I am in a 4 year long relationship and we haven’t had sex in about two months. It is very hard but we still are sexually intimate with clitoral stimulation and blowjobs etc. this will help you heal faster. Weirdly, through all of this, our relationship has been more loving and supportive than ever, though we did have some dark moments earlier in my problems.


The following products have been recommended from different women’s healthcare practitioners as well.

Also Yin Care Wash is supposed to be good. You can use it as an external wash in the shower or put on a cotton pad as a toner. It is quite soothing for itch.

I have used this wash a few times and i think it is pretty good. I use it maybe 1 or 2 times a week. Please dont overdo it with washes.

These vitamins are supposed to be good for vagina also

Best of luck to you! I have been dealing with this since July :( we will get through this!!

I had some luck with dmannose, but what really knocked out my uti was uva ursi. Get the liquid form off Amazon (link below) and it is seriously a God send. I did 30-40 drops 3 times a day for 10 days. You don’t want to take it longer than 10 days and I believe you should only do this 5-6 times a year. Obviously do your own research because I’m not a doctor, but I swear this stuff will have you feeling better after one day (but make sure you take it for the full 10 days!). Dmannose only works if the bacteria affecting you is E. Coli. Uva ursi will help if the uti is being caused by different bacteria (link to article about it below). I would also recommend getting on a strong probiotic and cut out allllll sugar for a while, even fruit. Focus on lean meat and lots of veggies and add some plain yoghurt as well.

I am so sorry you’re dealing with this. I know the mental toll it can cause. Take a deep breath and know that this is NOT forever! I’m so sorry your mom isn’t more supportive and helpful. But you are not alone!!! And please please reach out if you are feeling suicidal. Not sure which country you’re in, but please look up suicide hotlines in case you need someone to talk to. Sending you so much love and seriously PM me anytime if you have questions or need more support. ♥️

I also had recurrent issues with yeast, BV, etc and finally I had a gynecologist mention and test me for ureaplasma/mycoplasma bacteria (swabbed me) and I came back positive for both being overgrown. They are naturally present in the body but, like anything, can overproduce and cause problems. Those bacteria are resistant to the usual antibiotics that they prescribe for yeast/BV. It’s been a couple months and so far so good. ALSO: they can be passed sexually (but aren’t considered STIs I think because they hang out in the genitourinary tracts but you don’t necessarily have to have sex to have it) so your partner should be tested and treated as well if you do test positive. I hope you get relief soon!

PS: I was given doxycycline for treatment.

ALSO I heard this stuff was great for removing candida/yeast from your entire body or at least keeping it at bay? I don’t have personal experience with it but maybe this could help too?

Oh goodness! Ouchie!! I don’t have any now advice other than keeping it clean but for later advice one of these bad boys is going to be your friend for any hair on your inner bits or back door bits you’d like to clean up! It’s a “no touch” so you can’t cut yourself with it! I usually just sit on the toilet and reach down and do the trimming so everything falls in there for easy clean up. The fact that you can just do it by feel is really nice for the rear area if that is something is you want to do (do NOT feel pressured to do this area or any area, though! It’s your body, do what makes YOU comfortable!). Then be sure to shower after to clean any hair out of any crevices so you don’t get irritated.

u/MAC0114 · 2 pointsr/Healthyhooha

I’ve never had BV so I can’t be much help there but as far as the probiotic I would definitely recommend trying a better one. I use a women’s probiotic that is physician formulated. It’s in a pink and white bottle and I get it on amazon. Kinda expensive (about $25 a bottle) but it works for me

u/GisellePalmer · 1 pointr/Healthyhooha

You can definitely make your own boric acid capsules, but don’t use Borax, find boric acid from the pharmacy. Also these lactic acid suppositories are a godsend and seemingly cheaper than what you’re buying, hopefully you can get them shipped there!

u/eksyneet · 3 pointsr/Healthyhooha

yeah, just search for probiotic suppositories like these. there are studies comparing the efficacy of oral vs vaginal probiotics and there's no competition really.

>Also would you think that vaginas would create a resistance to boric acid suppositories' effects on the long term usage?

nah. it's just acid, you can use them forever if you want. but it's inconvenient, and boric acid suppositories can be pretty irritating, and really, it's always better to sort out your body's natural defenses when possible than perpetually rely on external support.

u/xGiaMariex · 3 pointsr/Healthyhooha

I have this same problem. Not yeast, not BV, not and STI. Gyno has no idea....but let me tell you something that has been an absolutel GAME CHANGER....there’s a product called “Rephresh”. It’s an ampule with a clear gel that you insert vaginally. It’s supposed to reset your vaginal pH. Whenever I feel irritation coming on, I use one and then a second application 3 days later (you can use them every 3 days and they come in packs of 4). Irritation is gone. I also try to sleep without panties and go without panties (I wear a lot of long dresses and skirts) as much as possible. These 2 things, but especially the Rephresh has helped tremendously.

2 things about the product: it says something about controlling feminine odor on the box. I don’t have any odors, just itching and irritation. Also—you will notice clumps of white stuff a day or so after you use it. I have called the company to ask about this because I also recommend it to my patients and couldn’t figure out what it was. They said that it’s old/dead cells from the vaginal walls.

I’ll try to find a link of the product (they have a couple different types).

Definitely worth a try. I absolutely swear by this stuff.

Edit: this is it!!

If you try it, please let me know your experience if you don’t mind. I’m a few months away from being an NP and I’d like to know if this works for others. I have recommended it a couple times, but haven’t heard feedback yet.

Edit 2: I saw a couple suggestions for using steroid creams. A low potency, OTC cream is okay for occasional use, but it can damage and thin skin after a while. Be careful with relying on this remedy too often.

u/nolovenotenderness · 3 pointsr/Healthyhooha

Not sure I'm qualified to give advice when I was just in here asking for it last week, but I can tell you what I was doing when my first, two year long yeast infection finally went away: after a round of typical cream suppository treatments, I used a probiotic suppository called PurFem - my gynaecologist wrote me a prescription for it and I got my pharmacy to order it, but you can also find it on Amazon. At the same time, I did a roughly month-long version of the candida diet - I think this was the book I read that allowed me to justify doing it so short term, but you can find basically all the same info online. I also started taking oral probiotics, garlic supplements, and apple cider vinegar capsules. You've probably already encountered all the basic advice about wearing cotton underwear and washing with unscented soap that always comes up when you have this problem.

All that said, I'm no expert. Just thought I'd share things that seemed to help me in the past, since I can relate to my doctor being unable to help me with this problem.

u/squiggywiggle · 1 pointr/Healthyhooha

I honestly don’t think they check the pH standard. They do sell over the counter pH test kits in the pharmacy (or you can order pH test strips by the roll on amazon for wayyyy cheaper you’ll want this one Micro Essential Lab 3110M18EA 325 Hydrion Short Range pH Test Paper Dispenser, 3.0-5.5 pH https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LY1KIWY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_vx47BbNRK6A0F). Normal vaginal pH is around 3.8-4.5 so if you’re outside that range (usually higher than 4.5) it’s pretty indicative that you have BV.

> I tried emailing and calling a ton of people in 2015 as well. I was able to get only one.
> It’s the original Lelo Ina. But there was a manufacturing inconsistency that caused those made later to have stiffer clitoral arms, so they have a numbing effect. I need the original version. I’ve been through 6. I have 2 broken ones left.

> Idgaf about sexuality.

Therein lies the rub, so to speak.

> I actually get super annoyed by the focus on psychology.

The primary organ involved in any sexual experience is always the brain.

> I’m concerned with how our sexual organs work.

Yes'm.

> That science is what’s lacking.

Yes'm... and then some.

> Why the fuck did you just link that bullshit fake news article?

The article wasn't completely bullshit, and you might find allies within it:

"The reasons for this lack of understanding surrounding clitoral anatomy are many, but according to a paper published by Urologist Helen O'Connell in 2005, there are at least two big ones:

  1. Incomplete or inaccurate textbook descriptions. Many only go so far as to describe the relatively small, external portion of the clitoris, or depict the internal anatomy with a single, two-dimensional picture. This planar view, states O'Connell, provides insufficient information to truly understand its structure.

  2. Nobody knew about the full anatomical scope of the excited clitoris until the late 1990s, when researchers finally got around to using MRI to study its internal structure "in the live state" (a tool researchers had used to examine male sexual anatomy as far back as the 1970s)."

    Some consideration could be made of Leonardo Da Vinci, c.1508. If I could be bothered to decipher mirror-written Latin, our first anatomist appeared to recognize a clitoral structure that may be alluded to within his notes.

Boric acid is amazing for BV! I use these ones from Amazon as they’re cheaper and have more than the ones from target. Seriously give it a try they work so well!

Like someone else mentioned, I use these in combination with the VH Essentials Cranberry Probiotics

u/PJKimmie · 2 pointsr/Healthyhooha

I usually purchase it at Costco, but they do happen to have it on Amazon here!

u/ActualNepotism · 2 pointsr/Healthyhooha

Definitely sounds like you need to drink more water in general, don’t worry about how cold it is either (if you really need it to be cold, get some ice cubes to throw in. They sell refreezable ones like these )
The legs/feet thing concerns me though and you should probably go to a doctor. Could be a circulatory problem or possibly something more serious like diabetes.

I swear by this. I’ve been getting Brazilians for 15 yrs. The loofah bar helps with ingrown hairs, moisturizing and exfoliating. I’m also fairly sensitive to soap and products, but have never had an issue with this one.

u/fingers-in-ears · 7 pointsr/Healthyhooha

I would ditch the wet wipes altogether. Even if they are unscented, they still contain detergents and other things that might be upsetting your skin. (For example, this is how I found out I am allergic to aloe vera.) Start using a bidet to clean your backside instead. If you don’t want to install a bidet onto your toilet, get a travel bidet. Cheap and easy to use.
