Irritation??!


Question: I was treated for bacterial vaginosis taking antibiotics around thanksgiving, then a week later I still felt discharge, but went in for a wet mount and it was cleared up. I started using the nuvaring almost three weeks ago now, and I'm feeling more white thick discharge and some irritation. What could this be? I'm sick of going back to the doctor with discharge complaints..

Taking antibiotics often leads to a yeast infection. Always happens to me, so I get a prescription for treatment of a yeast infection when I get a script for antibiotics.

Bacteria and yeast are naturally present in your vagina, and they keep each other in balance. But if you kill off all the bacteria the yeast can overgrow.
