The smell is driving me insane!!! Please help!!!

It’s not unusual for there to be some form of smell from time to time… but for it to be that noticable by both of you, and it’s still there — I would say something’s not right, and you should see the Dr — it’s not cool that your mother doesnt want to take you there — because it could be something bad, and NOT going could damage things if there really is something going on that shouldn’t be.

That said — with the vinegar — I dont know if you just used a washcloth with it — but I suspect she was thinking a vinegar (and water) douche. Forgive me if that’s what you did, but if you didn’t I’m sure that’s what she was going for.

I wouldn’t recommend using the vinegar from the kitchen! There are ways to mix your own, but frankly, while most would say don’t use from the store — it might be the best answer until you get to the bottom of it.

Also, it’s not recommended that you use something like that very often, as it will kill the things that are SUPPOSED to be there along with what you’re trying to get rid of — use it too often, and you’ll get an infection because you cleaned things too good.

I would NOT recommend using ANYthing else there! Where ever you got the yogurt thing from — I’ve NEVER heard of it in my life…and I’ve been around a long time… I’m not gonna say it’s not done, just I’ve never ever heard such a thing. Clearly, I’m not the right kind of person who would have a need to use that method…

In any case — if you try some over the counter solutions, and they don’t do the trick, and things continue with no changes — I would strongly push to see a dr before it develops into something very serious.

Also – I highly recommend no more sex until it’s cleared up — you could be giving your partner what you have, getting slightly better, and then getting reinfected the next time you have sex. You’re just passing it back and forth.

Sorry I can’t offer more than this — this is one that really belongs to a dr that knows these things and can give you a real solutiion.
