    Default Embarassing Problem

    Ok i am so ashamed and embarassed but i think i have Bacterial Vaginitis.... I have never even had a yeast infection in my life at all... It burns when i go to the bathroom, i have a discharge and smells unpleasant... I am just so grossed out because i literally shower three times a day.. I take care very good care of myself down there... I rinse and soap properly.. I feel like crying.. I can't get in to planned parenthood until Wednesday... I'm sure some of you have had one... Were any of you on antibiotics????? Would this infection not occured if I would have showered immediatly having sex with my boyfriend? Could I have caught it from him???? I guess Theres just a lot of information i'm clueless on about this... god i wanna die.

    Well the reason it flares up after sex is that his fluids are mixing with yours which causes irratation. BV is an std but there are many other ways of getting it that are non-sexual.
    You might have a UTI? It really shouldnt burn when you pee if you have BV. Also, after you go to the doc get some YI cream b/c I got YI during the use of anti-biotics for BV.

    If you do have BV he needs to be checked as well. For men it doesnt show up at all on the outside and it really doesnt effect them. You can have a reoccurance if he doesnt get help too.

    Yes I have had it, and don't stress, though I know it's gross. I had to go on antibiotics, yes, and I developed it after a, er, lapse in judgement and a one night stand. I believe mine developed because the guy was pierced, and it ripped me apart, hence letting bacteria in. It could be caused by him touching your anus then touching your vagina, basically any way that bacteria can get into the vagina. I don't know that showering would have helped, as the bacteria was probably already present.

    Check out webmd for more info on it, but I know after I went on the antibiotics the symptoms went away fairly quickly

    *hugs* it will be ok

    Like I said there are other things that cause BV other than sexual contact. Such as, wearing panties too tight, being in a jacuzzi, sweating alot down there, or going from ass to vagina.

    I know its bad but I wore a tampom and constantly went back to use baby wipes until I could get help. I dont recommend working while you have it. If you have to then wear something cotton and change panties often.

    No not an std, but it CAN be caused by sexual contact. As TM said, not always. I would suggest not working as well, as you are gonna be super uncomfortable (and itchy, if it's like the infection i had)

    Sorry you have to deal with this. I don't know about this specific problem, but one thing I do know is that you shouldn't use soap on your girly parts. It can cause yeast infections and other problems. It's best to wash down there with plain old water.

    Yeah agreed with anna, soap will irritate and cause smells ! Use a special femine wash if you like the feeling of a "liquid soap" to wash with. Hope your feeling more comfy soon

    Your showering three times a day probably doesn't help honestly. Soap can really throw off your vaginal PH which can lead to BV as well as yeast infections.

    BV infections are more common that yeast infections believe it or not...

    Incidentally BV isn't a STD. That's misinformation. It can show up after sex, not because you caught it from the person you slept with but because semen changes the PH of your vagina. I think it tends to be listed on STD pages because having BV makes you more susceptibile to things like HIV, PID, Chlamydia and Gonorhea. Men rarely if ever need to be treated simple because the penis doesn't provide the correct environment for the bacteria invovled to grow and florish.

    You can read some good info here:
    http://www.medicinenet.com/bacterial...is/article.htm
    and here:
    http://womenshealth.about.com/cs/vag...erialvagin.htm

    Don't be freaked out, it doesn't mean you are dirty or unclean anymore than getting a yeast infection of bladder infection would. It's just part of the wonderful life of owning a vagina.

    ok i went overboard on the three times a day thing.. I work out four times a week and sometimes i rinse twice.. i usually didn't (before i discovered i had this) rinse down there twice, but only once..... OK i think i'll be fine.. its just real uncomfortable... i guess i gotta go in to work tonite and just do my thing and not worry.... oh man

    BV IS considered an STD because sex can be a cause...but it can ALSO be caused by lots of things other than sex. Don't go yelling at your man friend just yet. Hey might not have anythng to do with it.

    The CDC lists BV as the first topic in it's STD section here:

    http://www.cdc.gov/std/bv/default.htm

    It's simple to take care of. I'm not sure I'd work with it. Trust me, customers can smell (some are pussy scent conniseurs) and you don't want the rumour mill started on you about how your pussy stinks. Really. I worked with a girl once who had some sort of infection and believe me, more people could smell it than you'd think, and they ALL (customers and employees) told EVERYONE who would listen, including the girls, customers, managers, floormen, waitresses etc etc etc. I think that was some of the harshest gossip I ever heard about anyone, and from so many people. If she knew how much was said, she'd have probably quit and hid in a cave.

    Your problem could be a number of things, not just BV. When you go to the doctor, have them run a screen for everything, or at the very least, include Chlamydia, which has symptoms like you describe.

    I don't mean to make you worry, I only want you to have information to look out for yourself. Chlamydia can cause serious problems.

    Take a few days off for yourself. If you can't, take good care of yourself and help the customers to focus on your other assets.

    I have had 3 in the past 6 months, never had one before. I also got a FULL std test done, which came back clear. My gyn said it was because I'm getting older (ugh) and the ph balance in your kitty changes.

    She gave me antibiotics but also suggested eating yogurt, and taking acidophillus everyday (the chewables are actually tasty!). If after the infection returns after your antibiotics you may want to ask for a prescription for your man. I have prescriptions for myself and my soon2be ex with 3 refills each.

    She also suggested that he put dial soap on his winkie and let it sit for a few minutes and then rinse it off, since the bacteria does not reside inside a man's body. Oh, and he'll have absolutely no symptoms so he should do this even if he thinks he doesn't need to (which was probably why mine were recurring).

    Don't worry, BV is in the same category as a yeast infection and is the most common vaginal infection there is.

    It's listed on the CDC site but it still isn't technically a STD, it isn't passed from male sexual parter to female. However because a woman can theoretically pass it to another woman via genital to genital contact it gets listed.

    It's not an std. Do not be ashamed. It is simply an imbalance, and the bacteria is probably from your butthole... a lot of women experience this, and it's nothing you "did" to deserve any shame.
    Mine didn't clear up with antibiotics, but what DID work is rinsing with diluted hydrogen peroxide twice a day, for 3 days. Use a syringe (no needle of course) to sort of "douche" with the hydrogen peroxide (half water, half peroxide). it will burn a little, but it works: my gynecologist recommended it. Another thing she recommended was putting some tea tree oil on your finger and putting it on the lips and up inside.
    Best of luck
