Subject: Vaginitis/Vulvitis what is it!!!
> Someone please help me!! I went to the doctor about a year ago, twice. I
> had this terrible smelly discharge, with some itching and burning for
> the first couple of days. He diagnosed it as Vaginitis/Vulvitis on the
> paper I received at the office. He prescribed some antibiotics, and the
> second time I went he gave me Diflucan. It went away for about a month,
> and it came back. It is still here. It has a cycle in a way. About 2
> or 3 days before my period all of the problems go away. After my period
> is over, it comes back in full force. The itchiness is only around for
> about a week, then it's just the odor and discharge that stick around. I
> use unscented tampons, and no birth control pills. What can be the
> problem, and how do I fix it? I would hate to go back to the doctor to
> just get diflucan if it doesn't work. What will work for me? PLease
> help, I hate this, and I am so worried that this may affect my ability
> to have children later.
