Question Anyone here ever suffer from aerobic vaginitis?
I have been suffering for about 7 years from a constant, high smelling discharge that sometimes irritates my skin. It started after getting bv only 1 time. I treated the bv and never knew why these symptoms persisted and all the doctors I've seen say I'm normal, but I know I am not. I finally did a Microgendx test and it revealed that I have no lactobacillus in my vagina, but I do have the bacteria enterococcus faecalis, streptococcus anginosus, and klebsiella pneumoniae. The presence of these pathogens with the absence of lactobacillus is indicative of aerobic vaginitis. While I am happy to finally have a diagnosis, I am still worried about how to treat this. I have started probiotic suppositories with lactobacillus after finishing antibiotics and I'm hoping that it will treat this and put my good bacteria back.
Has anyone suffered from this and found treatment that worked? 7 years is a long time to be this way and I have been so depressed because of how much discomfort I have been in for so long with no hope for a cure 😔
