Symptoms; Yeast Infection or Bacterial Vaginitis?
Here is the run down (Beware, detailed):
Over a week ago I had discolored clumping discharge and irritation. I treated on Sunday with a three day yeast infection suppository.
Its been five days since my treatment. Now my discharge is no longer clumping but smells like onion.
I have slight irritation and pain with intercourse. This is not normal for me.
My period is due this week.
I wonder if the three day treatment was not enough… or if I misdiagnosed and have bv.
Should I start a seven day treatment now even though my period is on its way?
I would like to see the doc but don’t think they will be able to tell me anything because of my recent yeast treatment and sexual intercourse last night. By the time those things pass I will be on my period and the blood will interfere with the swab tests.
Do these symptoms stand out to any one as clearly Yeast OR BV?

Yeast Infections affect nearly 75% of all people, including both men AND women, at some point in their life.
They occur when Candida, a natural fungus in the body, overgrows. Candida is normally regulated by Acidophilus (another microoganism living in the body).
When diet and hygienic conditions change, sometimes the Candida will grow out of control. This leads to a yeast infection.
Yeast Infections often show up as localized yeast infections — as in a vaginal or penile yeast infection.
They can also appear as a digestive tract disorder or skin irritation — as in Candida Overgrowth yeast infections. I’ve provided information on how to treat LOCALIZED (vaginal or penile) infections below…
The symptoms (you may not experience all of them):
- white cottage cheese-like discharge
- some odor
- dryness (can cause bleeding)
- digestive problems
- itchiness
- burning urination
- painful intercourse
- a feeling of just not being “normal”
Here are some safe, natural cures you can implement.
Avoid Sugars
Avoid sugars and complex carbs for a week. they “feed” the Candida fungus.
Clothing
If you’re not treating the infection with the Tree Tea Oil solution mentioned below, air out the infected area while you’re sleeping at night. Don’t wear underwear. Or wear cotton underwear during the day.
Grapefruit Seed Extract
Add grapefruit extract to your water during the day (raises acid levels in the body). This will decrease the candida in your body.
Probiotics
Eat probiotics like cottage cheese and yogurt. They will increase the acidophilus in your system and this in turn will fight off the candida yeast.
Hygiene
Shower frequently. Avoid scented soaps and antibacterial soaps. Don’t take baths while you have the infection. If you go to the gym, shower immediately when you get home.
Diet
Drink lots of water and eat plenty of fiber to flush the infection out of your body. As a yeast infection goes away, the candida albicans release toxins which increase symptoms temporarily. Flushing these toxins out with water will speed your recovery.
Tea Tree Oil
Apply tea tree oil to the infection by applying it to a tampon and keep it inserted overnight. You can also just apply the Tea Tree Oil directly to the irritated area.
