desquamative inflammatory vaginitis
Hey guys,
This summer, after messing around with a guy, I got BV and a yeast infection. Ever since then I have been battling both non-stop. I am finally yeast and BV free (according to wet swab), but I am like pouring out a sticky non-odorous discharge. It makes me inflamed and itchy. The gyno is sending it over for a culture or further testing. She looked inside and saw some inflammation and thinks I may have DIV. I asked her if it was possible if I was having an allergic reaction because every time I did the yeast cream, I would burn so badly. This past time it made me swell up.
She said it's possible but she thinks it's DIV and I should consider the clindamycin cream. I just don't see how I would have DIV all of a sudden when I was testing positive for the conditions ( yeast and BV) and I've never struggled with it before. Also, like I said, the yeast cream burned me so bad and caused me to literally swell up.
Anyways, has anyone dealt with anything like this? Is it possible I can just heal on my own and my body is just over compensating or do I have this DIV situation? I just don't want to take clindamycin cream if I don't have to because I dont' want another yeast infection and to keep this imbalance going.
Before this summer, I had ZERO problems like this. Send help.
Also, I'm 33.
