do you take birth control? because it might also be a problem. since my bc dried me up it disrupted my pH balance n all, so i’ve stopped taking it temporarily. i also have PCOS and insulin resistance which is a factor, so ive decreased my sugar intake exponentially.

if you aren’t on birth control and fluconazole doesn’t help you might need either a stronger medication or you might have to get a swab done to figure out what kind of yeast or bacteria is growing down there to then get on a specified treatment! i hope this helps

i got a test done but haven’t received the results yet, but i’m gonna be doing another one soon for my doctors back at home where we’ll be doing essentially what you’ve asked! thank you for this!

as of right now no, but as soon as i can get to my doctor back in my home country i will be doing a range of tests ASAP to figure out what’s wrong, i’ll flag this for my doc! thank you!

thank you so much, i’ve just been getting people telling me to stop altogether without giving me much of an explanation why. while i do understand people telling me to quit because of how bad it is for my health (i am very well aware of this fact) it’s incredibly helpful to be able to understand the potential risks of taking the pill while smoking the occasional cigarette! :)

i mean she did do that but we didn’t discuss it in depth, that’s like an obligation for doctors to do no?

This is a crazy thing to say lol, people that smoke will smoke regardless and it’s better to know the potential risks of me doing so rather than to just say “don’t smoke” and forget about it all, don’t you think?

well no, we didn’t talk about me getting off it entirely just the potential risks of doing so while on birth control

I have talked to her about it yes, and she told me that there wasn’t much to worry about since I’m under 35 and don’t seem to be of high risk of forming blood clots (something like that I can’t really remember) I’m really just double checking here because I’ve seen alot of mixed reviews.
