>Anon,
What type of douching have you tried? Did you use the vinegar one? I
have found this helps prevent the return of that musky smell. One
doctor told me "nothing was wrong" and couldn't smell a thing. I went
to a second doctor who smelled it quite acutely. Nothing showed up in
the culture that was abnormal, but the second doctor treated me
empiracally, as they say. (by intuition, not test results). I took 2
courses of clindamycin cream (metrogel didn't work well) and it went
away.I use the vinegar douche to prevent return. I hope this helps.
