Then the next infection hits and youre going through the same thing all over again.
But, what about when it doesnt work?
What about when you keep getting them over again and no amount of anti-fungal treatment is doing the trick?
In these cases the yeast infection you think you have may actually becytolytic vaginosis1.
The symptoms of a yeast infection and cytolytic vaginosis are quite similar.
It sounds scary, cytolytic vaginosis, but it really isnt.
Its just anovergrowthof the normally occurring, protective bacteria in the vagina called lactobacilli.
Whats the difference between this and a yeast infection?
A yeast infection (candidiasis) is fungal overgrowth, but cytolytic vaginosis is bacterial overgrowth.
Confusingly,the symptoms2are strikingly similar.
Both the penis and vagina depend on steadily controlled, protective flora to make it stay healthy.
Heres what to do to get rid of it: twice dailybaking soda baths1.
Sit in the bath and read a book for at least 30 minutes.
The purpose of this treatment is to decrease the acidity of your vagina and reduce the lactobacilli.
You should be feeling better in no time!
