    Default vaginal infection question

    Ok I had BV last week, all of the symptoms went away and I discontinued my antibiotics (I know I know, but I really needed to drink). As of yesterday my "area" is itchy and burny as hell' it feels terrible, but I think maybe now it's a yeast infection from the antibiotics and not BV again? I'm going to pee on one of those vagisil at home testing kits as soon as I have to go again, but I am worried.
    I 've been reading up on these things on this board and other places on the web nonstop, and this looks yeasty to me and don't smell or feel as non fresh as BV (so far), but inside each outer lip there is like a little tiny line that is liek a cut. I get that sometimes I think it's because I wipe too hard to clean it off and because I am itching it when I have an infection. Is that normal? I read that herpes and yeast infections are often confused. Do I really have herpes and just never knew it??
    I've been calling my doctor all day but something is fucked up with his phone, should I just go to planned parenthood for an emergency appointment? I really just want to have sex so I need this to clear up and I need to find out if I am ill so I can prevent spreading it to my partner.
    Any comments or advice would be appreciated. THANKS!!

    Sounds like yeast. I get cuts too when I have a YI, from scratching the itchies. If you're concerned, definitely go to PP or wait until you can go to the doctor for a test.

    omg thanks i was like freaking out at 4 am last night convincing my self I have herpes haha. An old flame from years ago called me to tell me he was getting tested and I've been randomly nervous since then even though I've been tested within 6 months.
    I'm gonna get some monistat and see if that clears it up while waiting for the Doctor.

    Antibiotics do lead to YI's some more so than others. It is possible that it is a YI.
    YI usually cause itching, redness and burning when u urinate. There is usually a discharge but unlike BV it usually doesn't have a strong smell.

    Herpes and YI's do have similar symptoms. The both cause a discharge, itching, burning and redness. Herpes doesn't always cause blisters. The inital outbreak usually does but subsequent outbreaks can easily be mistaken for YI.

    stop the madness already and just take your ass to the doctor. guessing about it won't help it. get in the know so you can take action before it worsens.

    I just got the same prescription, a friend of mine suggested that I eat a lot of yogurt during the week of the antibiotics to prevent getting a yeast infection. If it hasn't been too long, I'd finish the meds if I were u.
