I am 30 years old, married with two kids. Since about May of 2008, I have had recurring vaginal infections about once a month. They would flip flop between yeast and bacterial. (All diagnosed by a doctor via tests.) The past two months I have been diagnosed with BOTH at the SAME TIME!!! Both months I have been treated with oral medication. (Flagyl and Diflucan.)
I have seen 5 different doctors about this. No one can really tell me what is causing this or how I can get them to stop.
I have been tested for Chlamydia and Herpes, both negative. I have had two abnormal paps, one in 1998 and one in 2000. All have been normal since then. I have been monogamous since 1998, and my husband has too. (At least he better have been!)
Sex has been rather painful off and on over the years....I think it was a mental thing in the past, but recently with these infections, it's been because of that. My cervix has always been really sensitive, and deep penetration HURTS! My husband actually did catch the vaginosis from me back in 2008, was tested for STDs and was negative. He was treated with antibiotics and hasn't had any problems since. (He is not circumcised and his immune system was really run down due to a Chrons flare up at the time.)
I have tried cutting sugar out of my diet, and I am not grossly overweight. (I am a little!) I also get kidney stones on a pretty regular basis, and after a bunch of tests found out that I don't have a lot of citric acid in my urine.
Just trying to throw in any info I can think of that might help! Thanks for any advice!

hi i was able to better my similar situation with consistent treatment of 200 billion a day of acidophilus probiotics. i get them custom made at a website that makes custom rpobiotics, google one. it costs 40 dollars per bottle but the trick is to take them daily for a month or two until you see your symptoms get better. the reason why you are suffering is because you took too much antibiotics whether by mouth or vaginally and your flora is all off. to rstore balance of bad and good bacteria will fix the issue. good luck
