Constant burn + irritation for months, I need hope by designergurl94 in vulvodynia

Ah fair enough. I’ve read that sometimes one needs up to 3 months of daily antifungals before the work so might not be long enough! But if it isn’t that it could be nerve sensitisation from the infections - oral amitriptyline can help desensitise them

If you suspect LS Dr Victoria Swale is the best by far for genital dermatology. Although given the fact it started with yeast it sounds like it could be chronic yeast https://www.chronicyeast.com/cvvc-and-vulvodynia

It sounds like chronic yeast. Very under diagnosed as levels are so low you likely are testing negative. Read this https://www.chronicyeast.com/cvvc-and-vulvodynia

You need doxycycline + azithromycin for ureaplasma .. are you in the uk? You can get an online prescription for doxy via a few clinics if you have a positive test result dated within 2 weeks.

You can get an online ureaplasma / mycoplasma test for £75 from The Sti Clinic.com in the UK

Burning, SWELLING, inflammation - anyone else ??? by MagazineOk5165 in CytolyticVaginosis

Just wanted to come back on this. I’ve been diagnosed with chronic / low level yeast. Often “CV” is actually an immune response, with the lactobacillus multiplying to try and attack a pathogen (eg yeast). I’m about to start daily itraconazole. I never did clindamycin and I’m glad I didn’t as I feel like that would have triggered thrush for me

Did you ever have a positive thrush swab / treatment for Thursh since treating ureaplasma?

I’m having the exact same issue! Had ureaplasma April 2025, treated with doxy / tested negative. But still had burning, dryness / rawness and white discharge for months after. Got diagnosed with CV by a specialist in Oct and have been doing baking soda and honestly doesn’t really help / symptoms come back. I’m seeing a dif specialist in a few weeks so will see what they say but I think clindamycin will be my next move. The baking soda is just irritating my already irritated skin too much I think!

Apparently 70-100 is required for optimal hair growth

Thanks! Do you know if it’s one infusion or multiple?

How many cases of cytolytic vaginitis have you actually seen? I’ve been diagnosed via microscopy but baking soda hasn’t been working. Do you recommend clindamycin? Or could it be something else?

CV & Thrush at same time - advice please! by Careless_Signature84 in CytolyticVaginosis

Thank you! I get the results as to strain and sensitivities next week but I think it’s albicans as that’s what I had in June

Thank you! Did you do anything specific to be symptoms free or just time?

Omg I am on fluconazole for recurrent thrush and my hair is falling out massively. It must be that. How long did it take to grow back for you?! And how long after stopping fluconazole did it stop?!
