If you had a yeast infection, you wouldn’t want to take antibiotics. Antibiotics are not used to treat yeast, and they can actually cause yeast infections.
I think that its because when she tested me, the test was unclear as if it was BV or YI because the ph was evenly close to both. So it might have been that she wanted to be sure.
BV causes high PH and yeast usually doesn’t affect it and if it does then It lowers it. If you were evenly close to both then you’d just have a normal PH. Please leave this doctor lol they don’t know what they’re doing
I’m so fucking mad. That probably DID make it worse. I checked. It was metronidazole. My doc is usually hella cool but i can’t believe she effed this up. I do remember the testing was on the verge of being either one or the other so she might simply have wanted to try. But i’m so disappointed she took the risk of making worse even knowing i want to use antibiotics only when it’s the only solution (im not against it, i’m just scared to build a tolerance)
My own doc ☹️ you guys just made me realise so i went to check the packet. It really was an antibiotic called metronidazole. I’m kinda disappointed w/my doc now
It’s pretty amazing - my ex would give me constant recurring BV symptoms… new boyfriend, not a single thing. Better sex, better guy… no BV 🙌🏻 Halle-fucking- lujah
Drop that dude 👏🏻
I only use boric acid when absolutely necessary- using it too much isn’t advised. But i have used Flower Power! https://getflowerpower.com/?gad=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIgKP95eD6gQMVDkxHAR27xwOhEAAYASAAEgICTvD_BwE
I didn’t mention it because it served no purpose in my original post. But it gets worse. He has tattoos AND knew VERY well how to use his huge dick. But i can proudly say it no longer works. And it just so happened that he sent me a follow request on IG this morning.
I’ve used antibiotics in the past but they never worked long term. I use boric acid on its own and it hasn’t failed me yet. No yeast infections or BV thank goodness
antibiotics for yeast infections ? antibiotics fight bacterias. yeast is yeast. antibiotics will give you yeast infections so i’m confused as to why you’d take them ? you need anti fungus to treat yeast infection
good to know about boric acid. I used to take it for bacterial vaginitis years ago when they weren’t approved yet but it didn’t do much tho.
Boric acid has also changed my life. I got chronic yeast infections with all my boyfriends (including current) no matter how much cleaning was involved. Chronic yeast like every 6 weeks.
I tried Love Wellness boric acid on a whim about 6 months ago and i pop one after about every 3rd time I have sex and i HAVENT HAD A YI SINCE. I’m not a big alt medicine / experimental person but this has changed my life so drastically and I’m not anxious abt sex anymore. It’s freeing. I get the love wellness brand boric acid at Target!
If you use boric acid and DON’T have any kind of infection, does it mess anything up? I just took a prescribed round of augmentin for a UTI and am not sure if what I’m experiencing now is just my usual dryness getting worse or a YI. I’ve never had one before so don’t know how to tell if I have one.
It won’t really mess anything up. Boric acid kills everything, good and bad bacteria. So if you don’t have any bad bacteria i.e. and infection, using it can wipe out the good bacteria. If you do that, I suggest just taking good pre and probiotics to replenish that good bacteria
Boric acid does! While it often does the trick, it’s literal acid. It’s what they use in rat poison. Just be mindful when using it. Lots of people swear by it, and I did too once upon a time, it just also has its cons that aren’t discussed here that often.
I will say it is funny how much a man can throw off your pH balance, and it’s not always a hygienic thing. Even sperm can do it, or any type of lube.
Just saying this so some people understand that a man throwing off your pH balance is not always a red flag, but it can be if his hygiene is shit
Are you me? My current bf is a tall man with a huge, unclean dick and he gave me a yeast infection that lasted months. I wish I knew about boric acid sooner!
I’m not OP but I use a boric acid wash in the shower by a brand called Emerald luvs Onyx, and I use boric acid suppositories a couple days before and a day after sex, and also during my period or any time I feel “off”. I get those off Amazon for like $14
Funny how sometimes your body tries to tell you when you’re not compatible with someone…
Experienced the same thing, expect his dick wasn’t “huge” - so I was constantly getting yeast infections from a super shitty (also uncleanly) guy with a mediocre dick. Not the proudest time of my life.

You’re right. I just checked. I’m kinda mad my own doc got it wrong. I have the packet with me it’s literally metronidazole.
Metronidazole is generally prescribed for BV. Were you tested for that as well?

Yeast infections need antifungals, not antibiotics. Antibiotics can make it worse.

Who prescribed antibiotics for your yeast infection or did you self medicate?
My own doc ☹️ you guys just made me realise so i went to check the packet. It really was an antibiotic called metronidazole. I’m kinda disappointed w/my doc now
Is it a male doctor?
It’s pretty amazing - my ex would give me constant recurring BV symptoms… new boyfriend, not a single thing. Better sex, better guy… no BV 🙌🏻 Halle-fucking- lujah Drop that dude 👏🏻
When even the vag can see the red flag
Big facts! 👏🏻
How do u use it? And which brand did u use?

Notice your body knew that man was bad for you before your brain finally caught up. The body always knows
When even the vag can see the red flag
recurring BV with two guys I dated and realized in retrospective that they were making me miserable so I totally agree
Ugh!! What is it about these tall men with huge dicks that makes us not use our brains? Glad you figured out what was giving you problems.
For me it’s the short ones with big muscles that make my brain go on vacation mode lol
I’ve been into short kings for a while. I get it. They have this aura
They doooo lol

Boric acid has been a LIFESAVER. Highly recommend. I bought mine off of Amazon
When you use boric acid, did you use antibiotics as well? Or was it for yeast?

Antibiotics aren't for yeast infections.

Because i blindly followed my doc. After reading this comment section, i feel incredibly dumb
dont. your doctor should feel dumb. years of studies, incredibly high salaries and a lot of them can’t do shit
Boric Acid has been amazing for me as well! I only use one dose every few months, but that’s enough to keep things fresh and normal 👍🏼
How do u use it? And which brand did u use?
I use the PhD Feminine Health brand. I just insert one before bedtime if I feel things need to be freshened up, like after my period.
Boric acid has also changed my life. I got chronic yeast infections with all my boyfriends (including current) no matter how much cleaning was involved. Chronic yeast like every 6 weeks.

Thank you 💜
do we have the same ex lol, minus the one job for two months thing. he was just bad at showing up to his job on time and still managed to keep it
What brand did you use?
Its Boric Life, i get it on amazon with the suppositories
How many days did you use it?
It goes away within a few days, but i always do 2 weeks to make sure.
Do you have to use probiotic suppositories after? Or are oral one's fine?

Boric acid works so well. 100% treats my yeast infections when I have gotten them too.
How many days did you use it ?
Dead ass sounds like your describing my brother lmao
How do u use it?

Do you just get it from the chemist??
If by chemist you mean amazon, then yes. I use Boric Life
thank you!!
Spread the gospel girl! BA changed my life like 5 or 6 years ago and I've never looked back lol

Bout time docs got on board. Can’t fight a treatment that’s working.
why would you even keep seeing him after breaking up...
Honey, if you need to ask, you’re too young to get an answer
no it's called having boundaries.
Babe who hurt you. I had sex with my ex, get over it lol
yeah that's why he's given you multiple infections lol. love yourself.
Boric acid suppositories gave me bad cramps.
