Hello. I am an other wise healthy 29 years old, but I have been suffering from vaginitis for about 8 months straight. I have an itching burning inside my vagina, with creamy clumpy white discharge, and itching burning, peeling, chaffing vulva. I first if after I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend. It seemed to be a yeast infection and I self medicated with over the counter meds (monistat) and vagisil. As the symptoms never went away, I went to the GYN Dr to get a full well woman's exam and full STD screening, Everything was normal, except that she confirmed that I had yeast. She gave me prescriptions terazol cream and nystatin powder for the yeast infection and Diflucan Pill. Nothing worked. Its like I simply drank water when taking the Diflucan pill. I started to think maybe she misdiagnosed me and that I have and STD, or bacterial vaginosis, or thichamoniasis. All my test were redone, and just a little yeast came up again. So I got some antibiotics, Doxycyclin (one time), and Oxafloxacin (another time), and also used a combo drug Gynotran cream (which has metronidazole, miconizole nitrate) several times. - all to rule out any other infection that I might have. Nothing is working. Its Just temporary relief with the creams and then its back full blow irritation in a few days. I am so tired of this problem, and don't know where to turn. I have been suffering for 7 months, cant have sex, I have no insurance to see another doctor, and I am a busy medical student. I have run out of options and running out of money buying all theses pantiliners, vaginal creams every week (when i know i doesn't work), Can some one help me please? What can I do?
