I am a 32 year old female and I have been struggling with a vaginal issue for 4 years straight now without any answers. I am so hopeless and feel like I am at such a loss that no professional can help me. The symptoms started 4 years ago which was a BV (bacterial vaginosis). I was treated for BV and then I got a yeast infection. I dealt with both BV and yeast back to back for about a year and then both swabs were negative for each but still had the symptoms and I’ve had symptoms ever since. My symptoms are vulva and vaginal itching and discomfort, an unpleasant odour that smells like ammonia and like rotting flesh, watery discharge, pelvic pain, painful intercourse, low sex drive. The symptoms are the worst just after my period and almost completely subside while on my period. I have been checked for BV, yeast, STD’s, HPV, serval pelvic exams and everything comes back as negative and normal. Full hormonal panel done and my hormones were normal. The only way to help myself is by using boric acid every other day and that’s what I have been doing for years to help with symptoms. If I stop taking boric acid, the symptoms get so bad that they are debilitating and I smell like I am rotting from the inside out. I have seen several GP’s, gynecologist, natural path, pelvic floor physiotherapist and no one has a clue which is very alarming to me. I have tried natural vaginal moisturizers for itching and it does not work. I have tried sitz baths, apple cider vinegar baths etc I asked my GP if it could be ureaplasma as that what it sounds like to me from all my research and he didn’t know what that was, so he wasn’t able to help me. He did put my on antibiotics for mycoplasma and it did nothing for me. This issue has completely destroyed my mental and physical well being. I am so uncomfortable, I can’t have sex and constantly have to insert boric acid.
