Hi, Lynn! Has anyone tested the Ph of your discharge?

It's certainly possible that if the PH of the

discharge is too high or too low, that could cause an

irritation.

Hi Lynn, I wondered the same thing for a while and it turned out I had

cytolytic vaginosis. Now that is cured my discharge no longer irritates

me (it would burn as it came out), but I still have vestibulitis and

vulvodynia symptoms. There are probably other things that can cause an

irritating discharge too, but cytolytic vaginosis is definitely one of

them.

How was the cytolytic vaginosis diagnosed? What did they do to fix it.

I absolutely swear that my burning comes from vaginal discharge, but NO

doctor can find anything. Not that they tested, they just looked. If I

wear a tampon so no discharge reaches major labia, I am comfortable. I

have told them (all the docs in the last 28 years) that, but no one has

acted on it. I have had years of remission, but the last two years have

been hell.

My pH goes from normal to 7 with no warning or reason. No doctor has

been able to say why. Just said to use boric acid inserts which is

fine when it's high but I don't have a reliable pH testing method.

I read that the tampon test is a great test to see if discharge is the

problem. Also using vaseline or aquaphor to coat the skin so that the

discharge won't burn.

Didn't say what to do about the discharge though.
