Im Back, Ic is cured, VV still battling

Hello, Im back. Last time I posted, I was very discouraged as I felt my interstitial cystitus was back, and incurable after everything Ive tried, after all Ive gone thru for a year.
However, after another cultureless urine sample, and me begging the doctor in tears for "One more round" of Bactrim, It cured the problem, it seems, even tho I still seemed to have some pain, and sensitivity to acidic foods, but its nothing like before. Every day it gets less and less. He told me I had a protazoa bladder infection way back in Sept, and Im thinkin that may have been the culprit to a year long nitemare with my bladder.

The vag however, acted up on me again, and I had to rotate my oils. So far, things are under control, but it seems I cant go one day without inserting oils of some kind, and my now Husband and I wanna try for a baby, but I cant with a bunch of oils up there! Plus oral is out of the question, as I smell like essential oils!!

its really put a damper on my sex life to say the least.

anywhoo..been depressed about this, as I had sex about 4 times and got a brand new infection, and Im currently treating with 00 gel caps filled with my latest oil concoction::
3 drops Cypress, 3 drops Ylang ylang, 1 to 2 drops Eucalyptus (strong), and 1 drop Clove (strong). It burns a bit, but Im used to it by now,. and evening primrose oil (healing vaginal tissues, lubrication).

Im also doing betadine iodine douches in the morning, and sometimes evening, then insert the gel caps, two to 3 times a day. I tried peroxide/water douches, (too harsh on the tissues, makes things worse)

Im good, but it seems when I stop using the oils, the itching and burning comes back, after one or two days. Before this latest infection, I could go days without the oils, and then when I start to have sex again, I get another infection after awhile...

im just glad my chronic bladder infection is gone.

I just want to add, the oils really have given me my sex life back, and the ability to go thruout the day, without being aware of how uncomfortable my vagina was s all the time.

it just seems like, after I start having sex again. it starts to get irritated again, and comes back, then I have to get on the oils again, and then I feel better, but it takes a couple weeks of doing these oils constantly, it seems like I have to use the oils almost everyday, just to be functional, is what Im saying, and its frustrating. Its a proven fact the these oils will kill sperm, so its hard to just be normal, and maybe get pregnant. Its so hard to explain to my husband.

I went years being in pain, before the oils

Glad you're doing we'll! Just.to add I just had the surgery there us no bad skin left but I still get irritated with penetration it's probably a lot to do with friction too but im glad the oils are helping what exactly do you use as it's def something to consider!

Thats great!! I think in some cases VV really is a physical/structural problem, and physical therapy is def necessary, and thats awesome that your getting better. Try primrose oil for lubrication/irritation, Ive read good things about it,and I like it!

About 4 days in the Betadine douches, I stopped the oils completely, as it was really irritating me and not helping me this time. (like I said, clove oil has been known to melt plastic, SO please dont put that much up your flowers!!)
I have an industrial vag at this point, Ive been putting so many crazy substances up there for so long.

I just did the betadine by itself this time, and it worked great!

PROTEUS bladder infection. Sorry lol!
