This is certainly not normal. I think you have to take a look at your entire behavior pattern and utilization. The types of soaps you use, types of feminine hygeine products (i.e. deodorant tampons/pads), frequency of bathing, bath additives, change in diet. Further, I would consider a complete evaluation again, including a wet prep evaluation and culture... Lynn
