Ok, so I've seen my gynocologist, my physicican, and my dermatologist... Heres the issue,I have a few irritating and potentially serious symptoms. The first symptom is depresion (I can usually deal with this except for just before my period) I used t take depresion medications years ago, but recently (2 months ago) my gyno prescribed my with YAZ to treat PMDD. The next symptom that I'm experiencing is recurring yeast infections, I get yeast infections at least once a monce typically about 10 days before my period. The final symptom is skin whitening, for about the past 6 months my face in cetain areas/patches has gradually lightened (on my chin and my eyelids). For this my dermatologist said that it could be a yeast infection on my skin, he gave me something to treat that and another cream to treat skin discoloration, I don't know if either is working because I'm not seeing an improvement on my skin but not sure how long before I see any results. Also, about me;I stay away from douching, I am a lesbian who does not like sexual penetration, I just asked for blood tests, STD tests and a papsmear during my annual gyno check up in March,everything came up normal, and I am a smoker. Other than the skin lightening, the other symptms have been taking place for a couple years, sometimes more extreme than others. Could all of these symptoms be linked, am I the only one who thinks this? Could I have a serious hormone issue which is affecting my PH levels causing all 3 symptoms? I had a thyroid test too, apparently nothing wrong with that, my mom has had an auto immune disorder since she was a child. Please help, no one doctor seems to know what's gong on.:(
