Took Vagisil Screening Kit test and....

**chrysdior** · 10-09-2010 02:05 PM

I just took one of those Vagisil Screening Test.
I feel like I just wasted money, even though now I know what to tell my doctor when I call, but I just spend 19 dollars on this thing.
My results came back that my VPH is 5.0 which can be a BV. So I have to see my health care providor. Even though I think its a Yeast Infection because you can get those from Oral sex and thats the only thing that I have done.
So my question is What is BV and how do you get it? What are the symptoms?

My only symptoms are:
The discharge that looks a little like cottage cheese and is very white.
And slight itching but only when I discharge, or I think about it.

There is no odor, no funky smell, no itching (unless like I said I discharge or I think about it)
There is no burning or skin irritation, or irritation of any kind.

Should I bring my screening test to my doctor when I go?
Should I take the screening test again to make sure, just in case I misread it?
What should I do in the meantime?
I cant do anything until Tuesday until I can call my doctor, and Monday is a holiday.

I noticed these symptoms yesterday.

It does sound like a yeast infection, but I would still go to the doctor. You don't always get a yeast infection from being sexually active, you can get it from clothes being too tight, thongs, non-cotton underwear. To balance out the bacteria and yeast in your vagina, I know eating yogurt every day will definitely help that stay level.

I do not wear tight clothes and very rarely wear anything but cotton panties. I drink a lot of milk. I've been drinking, peeing, drink, pee, drink, pee, in hopes that will flush my system in a natural way since I cannot make any appointments with my doctor until tuesday. It seems to help with the amount of discharge, its less. still no burning or irritation thank god!

I took one of those and I had 6.5, but I do have all symptoms of a BV.

I definitely feel like I wasted money because the weird discharge went away! It totally went away! I have no more symptoms of weird discharge so I am guessing I am fine and am not making an appointment with my doctor. I didnt even call because my symptoms were gone Sunday afternoon. It was the weirdest thing. I am thinking it was some weird side effect from the birth control pills. It could be one never does know how it will react to your body being a first time pill taker. <--wow that last sentence sounded bad. LOL. But you know what I mean. Yeah I definitely wasted money. 19 dollars on that and my hormone level changed because of the birth control, so of course it read 5.0 and not "normal" LOL. Stupid test. I think I'll just consult my doctor from now on. Screw those stupid tests.

Thank you guys anyway for the advice always a pleasure to have a place like this where I dont feel weird asking questions. No matter how stupid they may sound.
