IODINE DOUCHES WORK / DIANE

[Guest guest]

HI all

I'd like to make comment on something Diane said regarding the idodine douches and then she said 'can you imagine' as though it were a negative. But...Indeed those Povidone Iodine douches can work wonders and I didn't want anyone to be afraid of them. (nothing against you Diane

The brand name is Betadine, and it's known to help with Virus's, Yeast and Bacterial infections even protozoans or parasites and 'itch' as well. It's generally what a physician will give you to swab your vaginal area before a clean 'catch' for urine, mine always does. I've never had it irritate me at all, (the one thing though would be if someone were allergic to Iodine as even in seafood so that might be a possibility)

Not to repeat myself (but I will, haha) we had a retired gynecologist on our list quite a while ago, who swore his patients reversed their bad pap tests that showed HPV when he had them douche with it. I 'still' have a bottle (years old as it is expensive) and ocassionally use it especially if I feel a 'yeast' infection coming on (you can almost tell) and it always dispells it for me. Just thought I'd correct that in case.

Warmest regards

Hi Dee,

I know they are good for the vagina but I was told later that they

irritated more the vulva. At that time everything irritated me more.

The douches made me much worse, I'm probably allergic to iodine (I

was told that because I'm allergic to shellfish) but the doctor

didn't bother to find out. Maybe it was why it burn me more. My vulva

actually had burns! And he insisted on it. PRobably I got carried

away while talking about that doctor. He was ver patronizing and very

incompetent. When I went to see him last time with my problem (before

I got married) he just told me " go make your nofmal life " and started

to give me advice on marriage, as if he was a marriage counselor, and

then left!

Sorry, I know this is out of the topic, but I imagine that for many

women with this disease, one of the worst things is being treated

like crazy or idiotss.

You are right. If you are allergic to shellfish you are probably allergic to

iodine. And Povidine is

different than just iodine. So anyone who wants to use iodine should be sure

that what they are using is

Betadine. Even Betadine is not only one product, The name can be on other

products also some containing

detergents.

Dee is right, unless you are allergic to iodine, it does help relieve alot of

problems.

It is messy, so you have to be very careful about staining,
