    Recurrent Yeast Infection?
    A couple months ago, I began noticing an unpleasant vaginal odor and I had abnormal discharge. I saw a gynecologist as soon as possible and was treated for a yeast infection and it was recommended for me to start taking probiotics, so I started taking Flora pills for vaginal health. The infection seemed to go away but maybe a month ago it started coming back (I hadn't taken the probiotics for a while). I bought more probiotics and I was sure to take them every day, and again, it seemed to have cleared up, but eventually the unpleasant odor and abnormal discharge started coming back. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it, but I noticed the symptoms return almost right after I had shaved. Right now, I'm continuing to take probiotics daily, sometimes multiple pills in one day. The discharge looks very normal (it's kind of like a watery substance usually so I think that is normal for me) but there is still a faint odor. It isn't a very strong odor, but it's kind of unpleasant and resembles the odor that was there when I had yeast infection. Thank you so much for your help

    I would get a second diagnosis. I don't think it is a yeast infection but maybe bacterial vaginosis. Same idea but with bacteria and not yeast. Go back to the doctor or maybe another one. I don't think they got it right.
