    Dizzy Chronic infections. tried everything...

    i'm getting chronic, and by chronic i mean at least 2 times a MONTH, yeast infections which become BV after i've taken care of the yeast. my discharge hasn't been normal for at least 2 months straight. i've tried everything from garlic to yogurt to cutting out sugar, keeping my toys extra clean, taking lots of breaks.....planned parenthood just gives me pills, no help there. i don't know what the fuck else to do. is my pussy revolting against me? is this a sign that i shouldn't be a web cam girl? i never had these problems before web cam- only one yeast infection in my life prior to this. i work 4-5 days a week 6-8 hours a day. is that too much?

    *sigh* i thought about the candida diet and i'm starting it today but what about the BV? if this diet doesn't work i don't know what i'm going to do. i can't keep taking days off work...could it be something wrong with my body? I've been tested for STD's including AIDS and im not pregnant (im a lezzie) so WTH?

    What kind of lube are you using? I really recommend organic coconut oil - it has antibacterial/ anti yeast properties and is very healing. If you try it though, get the good stuff. The cheap kind is not the same.

    Edited to add - I work alll the time and since I switched to the glass toy/ organic oil, no yeast. I did have to take some probiotics to clear it up after yeast meds tho.

    Are you taking a good quality probiotic after you finish the yeast meds?

    my best friend used to get it from orange juice, I always thought that was interesting. So maybe something in your diet? Things can change on you.
    I'm here to make money. NOT make friends, if I make a friend then it's a bonus.

    I'd rather be absolutely ridiculous that absolutely boring

    Eliminate all sugars from your diet. That will help all kinds of things but excess sugar can cause yeast infections.

    how are your stress levels?

    my stress levels are a little high but they always have been

    as far as lube goes i use jojoba oil. coconut oil is too expensive right now, im trying to pay off some huge bills. the kind i use is pure though from trader joes
    and no i haven't taken any probiotics, which i will do asap. i thought yogurt would take care of that but i've been reading that it's not enough to cure candida.
    i would like to switch to a glass toy but i only use toys as strap on bc i cam with my gf so glass wouldn't be flexible enough.

    i might actually be sensitive to OJ because i just was craving it and finished a bottle in a few days...so that could be the trigger for this new infection.

    i started the Candida diet today. just went shopping and bought a bunch of greens and quinoa and some other stuff on the list....hope it works
    thanks for the advice, ladies....i'll let you know if this works. my gf is doing it too so we are committed to sticking to this diet

    Even if you don't use coconut oil as your main lube, I'd inject 7 ccs cold pressed virgin coconut oil with 3 ccs tea tree oil. Repeat for five days. It's very calming and also works as a great sexual lubricant because the tea tree oil heats up a little bit.

    ^scroll down about half way to the tea tree oil section.

    candida diet all the way. I was getting them every month for about a year. I did this diet almost 2 years ago and Ive only had one yeast infection since. The sacrifice is worth the result and you'll also lose a shitload of weight too and feel amazing... why not try it?

    eliminate sugar. yeast THRIVES in excess sugar. some yeast fighting goods are:garlic, oreganol oil with at least a carvacol percentage of 60, green tea, ingest coconut oil, fresh cranberries, etc. cut out white breads too. white flour period! trust me....been there done that! my doctor told me that the medications doctors prescribe do not kill all strains of yeast so even if u get diflucan and monistat on a regular basis those strains will also become resistant to the meds. change ur diet!

    thanks for all the advice. I am on day 2 of the Candida diet and i did not realize how much sugar i actually ate! i eat healthy but apparently not healthy enough.

    stress also could be a factor since im one month away from moving to a new city and trying to save money asap while also chipping away at a huge pile of bills

    i will try the coconut oil/tea tree combo, hopefully it will keep this one coming up from lasting too long/being too painful....

    The jojoba oil may be putting your vaginal pH levels off-balance. Maybe jojoba oil or more acidic or more alkaline than what your vajay naturally is?

    Also, if you are having unprotected sex, make sure that your guy washes off his weee before you guys get to it. Especially if it's warm out and his wee wee has been sitting around in his boxers all day a little sweaty...that can introduce some bad germs and sweat that puts your vajayjay off and messes up it's balance. I think this is especially so if the guy is uncircumcised. I think as a rule all uncircumcised men, if they're in a relationship that's closed and have been tested and the girl is on birth control (just heads up : Protect yourselves from std's and don't think unprotected sex is ok unless you've went through all the disease precautions and testing and you know the other person isn't screwing aroudn on the side)...all un-circumcised men should wash off their penis and ESPECIALLY UNDER THE FORESKIN with warm soap and water and rinse well. There's all kinds of stuff incubating under that, and having sex with an un-circumcised and un-washed penis can really mess up your vagina/
    It could also be the material of your thongs. Try wearing full-cotton regular panties at night (not thongs) to let your vajayjay air out.
    Also, how are you washing your thongs? Sometimes if you wash them by hand, and don't let them soak long enough in soap and hot water (they should be soaking ideally overnight...and if you don't have time for that then 6 hours) and rinsed out really well... I tried to wash my thongs in a rush...and let me tell you, washing under soap and hot water for 5 minutes still isn't enough to get it fully clean!!
    Also, don't fall asleep in your work thongs at night.
    Good luck hun!

    Take probiotics daily, very low carbs, no gluten, little sugar, regular doctor visits, clit vibrators, or glass toys most other times, coconut oil, exercise, washing all outfits (especially bottoms) regularly, "natural" laundry detergents, herbs/vitamins, lots of water, eating a lot of greens daily...

    Ummm, did you accidently leave a tampon inside? I've read some horror stories about this.

    Get your doc to do a pelvic exam.

    ok, i've taken all advice above into consideration, thanks ladies. i just bought some coconut oil and will get some probiotics on my next check. i have completely cut out sugar and starches from my diet. i've basically been eating salads with only greens and olive oil and vegetable soup for 2 days. today is my 3rd day of the Candida Diet. And I WOKE UP THIS MORNING WITH A YEAST INFECTION! i know just cutting out sugar for 2 days won't work miracles over night but i thought at least it will keep the yeast infections at bay for a little bit.....on my way to planned parenthood right now

    no, i've been checked out by a doctor recently and no lost tampon.

    yes i clean my thongs well, and no dirty penises to clean since im a lesbian. my gf's pussy is very clean though

    ^ When you do anything that has some kind of detox or cleansing effect things will get worse before they get better, as your body is purging itself...keep it up and hopefully it should clear.

    Honestly just stay away from tampons all together. They are LOADED with toxic chemicals that are released directly into your blood stream. You're better off with sea sponges.

    I have heard of tampons being used to cure yeast infections by dipping one in yogurt and then inserting it and leaving it there for awhile. That apparently helps balance PHs because the yogurt has probiotics. I forgot about that.

    i have horrible problems with yeast & bv as well. coconut oil has saved me & using glass/very smooth toys to avoid irritation. i shower once or twice a day & wash the outside of my pussy with summer's eve wash. i never wash inside my vagina, just the outside to get off the sweat & stuff that builds up all day. i wear very clean underwear (i basically bake em in the dryer to make sure they're as clean as possible) & always wash my hands before & after i touch myself. i try to avoid sugar cause it can mess with your ph & i never, ever put sugar near my pussy. chocolate sauce may be sexy but it won't feel sexy the next day.

    i have tried the tampon dipped in yogurt and it seemed to actually make it slightly worse. i made sure to get plain yogurt from the health food store and ate tons of it to no avail.

    i have to just basically suck it up and cut down on sugar (which i have been craving like crazy. that and bread) which makes me so sad!!! and coffee which i drink lots of. i used to take maca for energy, i wonder if it will help or if its just that i like sugary coffee....

    also, i just got some coconut oil today and will use it as soon as this infection clears up. unless coconut oil will help clear it ? i'm taking medication to clear this one. uggghhh, i wanted to work all week but oh well.

    cold pressed virgin oil will help clear it up-- it's pretty much an anti everything: antibiotic, antifungal, antiviral, so yes, put that in asap.

    quick update: took the pills they gave me at planned parenthood (2 doses) took both and nothing....cut out all sugar and carbs from my diet....helpful i think. Yesterday my friend suggested an apple cider vinegar douche so i tried it and so far its had the best results...no more symptoms. I did it 2x's yesterday and just this morning and will do it one more time tonight. I also drank some with water. of course i dilute it with water for the douche as well. it's cleared it up really fast. I'm still going to keep a super low sugar diet (with my sugar coming from some fruits like berries which have anti fungal properties) and eat tons of veggies. I'm also starting to use coconut oil for lube and drinking more water.
    thanks for the help everyone!

    B.V can be a problem for lesbians because girls can pass it back and forth to each other whereas men can't get it/pass it back. My girlfriend and I have had a lot of problems with it, we even stopped sexual contact for a while but still kept giving it to each other because we were sharing towels. We have now both gone on a course of antibiotics at the same time, keep our towels separate and are abstaining from sexual contact until we both finish the tablets. Fingers crossed this will be the end of it. I know this doesn't help your yeast infection problem but it's something to bear in mind.
