Re: to Christie/yeast or bacterial infection

[Guest guest]

Christie,

My regular gyn. did do a culture and there was no bacteria present,

only yeast. However, that was a month ago and I still have all of

the symptoms. I wonder if it is now a bacterial infection? What are

the symptoms of that? I never had a bacterial infection before, so I

wouldn't know.

Thanks,

Maureen

Thanks Candi, I will request that of my specialist I think. My

regular gyn (who I only saw once, she is new) probably won't know

what I am talking about and try to throw a cream at me or tell me to

use the gynazole she prescribed. Unfortunately, the specialist does

not take my insurance ( Spadt in Philly), but it is worth

spending the money on someone who knows about these things.

appointment and tel her you want a culture sent to the lab and you

want a fungal culture done (they take 6-8 weeks to come back if its

done right) and tell her you want them to chek for any type of

bacteria at all and also request that they check your lactobacilli

count. I am sure theres a test for this i just dont know what its

called.

Candi,

What do you mean good till 3 per day? Did it get worse when you

increased to 3 per day? Has your itching subsided yet? How many

days have you been on it?
