Good morning,

I posted last night and was flagged. My sincerest apologies if I offended anyone. I am a very loving accepting person and would absolutely be crushed if anyone was brought to heartache by my actions or words. I use humor to cope and this morning tears are my coping mechanism.

So...I have been diagnosed with vaginal eczema. I have herpes. I have multiple sebaceous cysts. Wondering if bacterial Vaginosis is in the mix. I have had many yeast infections in my life, even in my childhood. I am tired of the irritation, the pain, the dread of it flairing up after every period. I am a firefighter and my issues can make it very hard to work.

Questions:

1. Has anyone used boric acid during their period? I have tracked my biggest irritation to my period. I want to try and use it while on my next period to see if I can't combat the faltering pH level caused by menstrual blood.

2. While we're on boric acid, does it make anyone run like a faucet? The day after I use it I have to wear a pad to keep from embarrassing myself. The pad irritates an already irritated vagina. If I use regularly, will this lessen?

3. Has anyone had any success using sea buckthorn seed oil? I've started using this externally for skin irritation and orally to assist with low vaginal moisture. I found liturature on this one, but of course the tests were not FDA regulated. However, I would much rather go natural than take medicine.

4. Has anyone had success with cutting sugar or gluten out of their diet? Both are my crutches and I am making efforts to significantly cut them out of my diet.

Extremely excited to find this site in the hopes that I can find answers from kind hearted people with similar issues. Again, very sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings.

Thanks!

Winner for most odd and disgusting post ever?

Bit of history, in case it matters :

I have PCOS, Im not on any HBC right now and I have one two and a half year old son via c-section, I never went into labor.

The last day of my last period was around the first of this month, I have been having ovarian pain and cervical pain and I just assumed it was a cyst flaring up, I have no insurance to getting seen is not an option.

The past few days I have also been having bladder control issues and my husband has mentioned I smell odd down there...we have had sex 4 times since the 1rst (pathetic, I know :P )

A few hours ago I went to go to the bathroom and actually complained to my husband that I felt like I was wearing a tampon.

After I was done I reached down to wipe and was freaked out to find that something was bulging out of my downstairs.

Surprise tampon back from its vaginal adventure!! This thing is ROTTEN...its green/yellow/black and smells like roadkill....its disgusting (I totally have photos!)....IS THIS SOMETHING I SHOULD BE FREAKED OUT ABOUT??

I go through a LOT of tampons due to PCOS making me bleed as if my vagina was the bed of the red sea....so I have totally worn two at once on accident but never has one just....went off on its own for almost a month....odds this will happen again?

My period ended about Wednesday/Thursday, but when I had sex last night I saw some brownish blood on the cover afterwards. I went to the toilet and there was some diluted looking brown blood on the tissue. None on the guy though :S. Worried about cervical cancer as I had some bleeding after sex about a month ago. The Doctor said this was a result of a UTI though. Does anyone get release of brown blood two days after a period like this? Or just bleed during sex sometimes?
When I had sex this morning I didn't bleed. Unless it's going to come later.
