delicous Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I have this smell out of my vagina and it smells bad, like not the womanly smell that I normally would have. I went to a doctor and he told me all I need to do is get some monistat and it should clear.... anyone tried the monistat and it not work for you? This is tiring because I have been diagnosed with Bacteria Vaginosis and was treated and I was feeling happier than ever! My boyfriend and I had sex with me having no discomfort. Well NOW I feel like its back but the doctor mis diagnosed and it cost me 100.00 dollars from the visit and I feel like he is wrong about what he told me about a yeast infection. Its got that smell like BV again, I am always kind of wet down there and hate wearing underwear. Sorry if its too descriptive, but this is online so I sourtof have no choice but to be pretty descriptive. I am in a relationship with a very hard working, sweetest man on earth and I can't have sex with him. I make excuses constantly and don't want to tell him I think I have yeast or Bv AGAIN! If anybody can shed some light to this situation, it would be MORE than appriciated and I would be very greatful by any insight any of you have on this, men or woman.

Capricorn3 Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Usually any bad smell indicates an infection and needs to be treated. Maybe change doctors and get a second opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cognitive_Canine Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Did they test at all or did he just say 'sounds like a yeast infection'? I'd go to a woman's clinic and get an actual test. Sounds frustrating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cognitive_Canine Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 They actually did do the whole pap smear thing. Then it's most likely a yeast infection like he said. Monistat works for me to get my yeast infections under control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greywolf Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 It sounds like you could've gotten a yeast infection from the antibiotics you took for BV. That's normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delicous Posted April 12, 2010 Author Share Posted April 12, 2010 It sounds like you could've gotten a yeast infection from the antibiotics you took for BV. That's normal I actually was diagnosed maybe 5 to 6 months ago. I have been living with this for a while. I actually was taking the medication exactly as directed for the Bv. And then I did get a yeast infection, and then took one pill for that and was done. Well iiiiiit's baaaack and stronger than ever. Not even being detected by my doctor. Sneaky son of a !!! bleeep !!! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkly Eyes Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Is the smell very strong after sex? is it a fishy smell? how does the discharge look like? My guess is that you probably have BV again and your doctor should have prescribed you "Fluconazole" instead of monistat if you actually have yeast infection. I would get tested if I were you just to be sure which one of these two you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orchidrose Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I had a similar several months where I went back and forth between having BV and a yeast infection, and the doctors kept misdiagnosing it. If the Monistat didn't work, it's likely you have BV again. A doctor will need to prescribe antibiotics to clear it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delicous Posted April 12, 2010 Author Share Posted April 12, 2010 worriedgirl Is the smell very strong after sex? is it a fishy smell? how does the discharge look like? It does smell during sex, not that I smell but my boyfriend has mentioned it in the past, however not in the present. It is fishy with its own twist of raw different. The discharge is white and sometimes it has a clear look to it but still smells even when it is clear. aneffigy123 I had a similar several months where I went back and forth between having BV and a yeast infection, and the doctors kept misdiagnosing it. If the Monistat didn't work, it's likely you have BV again. A doctor will need to prescribe antibiotics to clear it up. Today 03:09 AM Is it okay to use monistat during a period, just wondering because mine is right around the corner. And what about buying the stuff, how embarrassing. I hate my doctor for not prescribing me something.! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3boys Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 At the drug store, they sell a test that will tell you if it's yeast or bacteria. I can't remember the exact name, but I think it's made by the makers of Vagisil. If it's yeast, I would suggest the 1-day treatment if you use tampons. According to my old gyne, it's okay to use Monistat during your period, but not if you use tampons because you don't want all of the medicine to stay "in," it's important for it to "spread." (without getting too graphic). If it's bacterial, you need antibiotics, which will probably cause a yeast infection because they kill ALL the bacteria, even the good ones that your body needs to keep the pH "down there" right. You might be able to stave one off by eating a lot of yogurt while you're on the antibiotics, though....it works for some people because it puts the enzymes back in your body that the antibiotics are killing off.
