Thanks for the responses. But I already had a culture and that is when the doctor circled that it was vaginitis/vulvitis on the sheet as he sent me off to get some antibiotics. The second visit he gave me the diflucan. He said there was nothing to worry about. But, if that is the case, then why does it keep coming back? I worry about the effects this may have on me later.
