Q: What Could It Be...bv Or a Yeast Infection?

Alright, so i'm a tad embarassed to talk to anyone besides my doctor about this (i have an appointment with her in a week, but want some info from you guys first, so I know what to ask). I've been having symptoms of both bacterial vaginosis and of a yeast infection, so i'm wondering if which one I have (i hope it's not both!)...Based on your experiences. I have the weirdest discharge - it's thin and white, and looks almost like fibres from kleenex or something...It's also incredibly itchy, and very occasionally burns (not during urination). The thin discharge is usually accompanied by a fishy smell. Today though, I noticed a lumpy white discharge, typical of a yeast infection (i only have this kind of discharge rarely). I have been suffering with this for months and months. I buy monistat, and it seems to work for about 4 weeks, and then the symptoms return. They seem to be more apparent after intercourse. My boyfriend and I have been together for over a year, and are eachother's only partner. We have also both been tested for std's, so I know it's not that. Does anyone have any idea what's going on? This is getting really annoying. :(

I was just at the doc and had a bacterial infection and a yeast infection. So they can go hand in hand. All they did was put me on antibiotics and a prescription for the yeast. I was also having a lot of itching, really bad actually. Just make sure you get it checked out. Either way theyre both curable. Good luck
