Three month yeast infection.

[astroboletos.livejournal.com]

I posted awhile back about having a yeast infection. I took the flagyl treatment, I did apple vinegar douche, I inserted acidophilus, monistat, I ate yogurt... then I got my period. I know your period can get rid of it. I thought it was gone, because my itchiness was gone. I know that white discharge is normal if it isn't accompanied by an itch. Well, I used my cup and noticed a thick white discharge in my cup, and thought perhaps it was BV. I started noticing that it would itch once in awhile, but not too badly. It smelled at first, but now it doesn't.

Well, when I had sex with my partner yesterday, I noticed a white discharge on his penis, and there were white spots on the sheets. I thought it was BV, still.

Well, I took the pH test from vagisil and it indicated that I have a yeast infection still. This is three months, and it wont go away, and it was laying low for the past two months. I'm at the end of my rope with this.

I just bought garlic and inserted a clove with two slices in it, and did another vinegar and water douche. Tomorrow I'm going to insert a tampon with undiluted tea tree oil. Actually, I don't have any tampons on hand because I use a cup, but could I use a cotton ball with similar results? I have 3% hydrogen peroxide and I know some women swear by it.

What should I do?

I'm going to try Rite Aid... if its there, how do I use it?

You have to buy some empty gel capsules (like the kind of pill you'd take an herbal supplement in) 100-200 size and fill them with the boric acid. Insert one every night for a week.

you can also mix it with a little water, and then use a big needle-less syringe to douche with it. (Just make sure the syringe doesn't create a seal with your vag...you want the water that flows in to EASILY be able to flow back out again so nothing gets forced through your cervix.) That's what I have always done, only because it was easier to get a syringe from the pharmacy (I told them it was for a craft project. :p ) than it was to get the capsules.

How much boric acid should I use? I have douching materials, but couldn't find the capsules.

I don't know that I have a good answer to that. I use a HEAPING tablespoon in about 60 ml of water. But I just totally made that up, so there may be an amount that is better. I figured it can't matter much, since you'd put it in there straight in a capsule.

I found this post (http://vaginapagina.livejournal.com/8166938.html) from the Vulvapedia page on yeast infections (http://wiki.vaginapagina.com/index.php?title=Yeast_Infection#OK.2C_I.E2.80.99ve_got_a_yeast_infection._How_do_I_treat_it.3F). Does it help?

It does, thanks!
