Last year I had a very bad yeast infection. Itchy, swollen, sore, smelling very strongly of yeast/bread. I had a discharge that was less like cottage cheese and more like just a build up of something that was drying out. After a week or two I finally got to the doctor, used a prescription cream and pill and it knocked it down to 1% of the problem it had been, leaving me with a slight smell of yeast/bread and almost no discharge.
This continued for a year...I know, I should have gone back to the doc much sooner. I went back again because I was going to become sexually active again and if I'm infected with something I don't want to pass it on. At this point it's just a bit of this discharge, no itching or anything else that points to a yeast infection. Had the swab done, the doc listed about seven types of bacteria that it WASN'T... gave me a prescription for a two dosages of a pill that was supposed to knock it right out then a few days later make sure it was 100% gone. This now knocked it down to almost nothing.
**WARNING, I'M ABOUT TO DESCRIBE SOMETHING NOT SO PLEASANT**
I'm only sharing this because these are the two ways I even notice the discharge anymore and it's very slight. The first way is if I scrape with my finger/fingernail I get a film that looks almost clear but when consolidated(lack of a better word) turns into more of a thick white clump. The other way is if I masturbate and scrape there is a lot of very thick, clear ejaculate that when I spread it between two fingers in a weblike fashion(I really apologize for the TMI) I get a clear wall of the ejaculate with a little splotch of a white creamy discharge. I really want to include a picture because it looks so weird. The smell is so so slight and like I said there's no irritation or anything like a yeast infection.
The other thing I've noticed is that since the initial yeast infection I don't get wet like I used to when I was turned on and everything in my vagina is always very, very thick. I don't know if that's normal. After the first infection I changed my diet, stopped eating so much sugar, no more fast food, no more pop, drinking more water, but none of that has seemed to help.
My doctor doesn't seem to find anything weird about it, but I don't have the money to run out and get a second opinion from another doctor so if anyone has any idea, pleeeeeease I beg of you help me!! And I apologize for being so candid but after a year and a half of this I need to bring it to an end.
