For the last like..6ish months? I’ve been dealing with what seems like a recurring yeast infection. I have 0 other symptoms rather than weird discharge. No itchiness, no burning, no smell. The absolute best way i can explain the discharge is white and creamy with white “specs”?? It’s not like cottage cheese. But it’s not my normal. This is just so annoying because the only time I even realize i have this when i’m having sex and i feel “extra” wet. At this point I already know what this means and I look and it’s just like white specs everywhere😂. That’s so embarrassing i’m so sorry but that’s the only way I can explain what’s going on with me. I never see it in my underwear so that’s the only time I notice. My boyfriend understands, we’ve been together for 6 years so he’s not grossed out by it.
The way I’ve been dealing with it is boric acid. When I realize it’s happening i’ll pop one in and the next day it seems “back to normal” and then a few days later it happens again. I ordered some probiotic suppositories but I haven’t used them because after some research i’ve heard them causing yeast infections and that’s the LAST thing i need.
Here is my hygiene routine, maybe i’m doing something wrong here. I’m not a crazy active person, so I usually shower every other day. If i’m outside all day or i’m super sweaty i’ll shower then too. I use antibacterial soap everywhere. I do wash around my vaginal area but I NEVER go inside or even inside the lips, I just spread and rinse that part with water. Between my shower days i’ll take what ya call a “whores bath” and i’ll sit on the toilet and just wash up real quick with my body wash, rinse her off with water, dry and go on about my day. I USUALLY go commando unless i’m wearing sheer leggings or jeans out, because no matter what material underwear I wear, I sweat a lot down there and I feel like I have to wash off more times a day. But I don’t sweat at all if i’m not wearing any. I haven’t changed my laundry detergents or anything of those sorts. One thing that could be culprit is saliva during sex..i’m not a natural waterfall unless im ovulating and lube is just an inconvenience in the moment😂 But i’ve done that for 6 years now and never had this issue.
I scheduled an appointment with a gyno in 2 weeks but i’ve never had a great experience with doctors, yall know how that goes so I don’t know what to expect or if they can even help. Has anyone else dealt with something like this?
