Guest guest Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 My doctor checks for BV in the office. It is not something that they have to wait to find out if you have. They send a culture away anyway, but they've always told me in the office if I have it. -------------- Original message -------------- I asked them this time specifically to check for everything. All my STD tests came back already neg. So if they checked std's I am hoping they listened to my request to be checked definitely for BV and yeast. I am not sure in the past if the doc's were ever checking for BV. Obstetrics and gynecology Physician recruitment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 Melinda, I think the BV test is a simple, in office, diagnostic test... I could be wrong, but whenever I was diagnosed with this, it was right away - during the appmt (in the office). Maybe there is a more thorough test that can be done, though... I don't know. Good luck. melindacurrence wrote: I asked them this time specifically to check for everything. All my STD tests came back already neg.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 You are asking them to identify the strain/type of yeast so as to be sure you are going to get the right meds for it right? Tell them you want to pick up copies of your lab reports - you are entitled to them. In themeantine - you can dramatically reduce the signs of yeast by cutting out ALL sugar and I do mean all. It really works well. Just a thought DUsty Re: Grayish white crusty discharge, rip clitoris off Yeah, I have read they can put some discharge into a solution and tell, but they never seem to feel the need to do that for some reason. They think they know everything by just looking. When I first had chronic yeast, that were actually confirmed by yeast cultures coming back with heavy yeast as the result, I would go in miserable and in burning swollen pain and they would say there was no sign of yeast and send me home. Then two days later I would have to go back in and complain to get a culture done. Then they would look and g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 The test where they put discharge into a solution is called a whiff test. It is to determine if you have BV. When the discharge mixes with the solution and you have BV it smells like month old dead fish!!! I've smelled it, it is awful.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 Dustry Just wondered if honey is considered sugar, and what about fruit? Does fruit contain natural sugar or is that bad for yeast also.> Thanks Re: Grayish white crusty discharge, rip clitoris off > > > Yeah, I have read they can put some discharge into a solution and tell, > but they never seem to feel the need to do that for some reason.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 I don't know if honey is considered sugar - Fruit does contain natural sugar and if you are in the throes of a serious yeast attack, you might want to avoid it. I don't know that that's a given, but you can google it. Try googling something like " sugar free diet " or " candida diet " or anything along those lines. I can tell you it worked for me - cleared up yeast without meds in two weeks sugar free and had an added bonuss of losing 6 lbs. I am a heavy consumer of sugars - in my daily coffee and tea, ice cream every day or every other day, bananas, breads, wine etc. Dusty Re: Re: Grayish white crusty discharge, rip clitoris off Dustry Just wondered if honey is considered sugar, and what about fruit?
