weird stuff. Anyone have an idea? why this is going on?

Hey you guys. I need to pick some brains here. I want your thoughts. This seems to be a very smart bunch. Heres whats going on... I seem to get really WORSE after washing with plain water. Now what i have been doing, is just splashing some water on the v area and gently patting dry. Why in the heck is this happening? i have good well water. No chlorine and chemicals. In my beady brain i feel better psycologically keeping the area clean. But it does seem that splashing with water makes me worse. I have tried no washing. After about three days, i cant stand it. i want to keep urine and discharge off the area. had the thought that maybe i was over washing.Once per day. Anyone have any ideas? cindy

That is a confusing one. Could it be the towel you're using to dry off with? Or the detergent the towel was washed in?

Nope. I use no chemicals in anything. I went totally soap free on my pants,everything. I have tried a clean chem free soft rag to pat. I have tried toilet paper. Boiled the water and cooled it, and tried that. I was wondering WHAT is over washing? the v book says too much washing can aggrevate. dont rub, hardly touch, just a splash of pure water. Weird huh. You know what i happened to run across yesterday? It was a conversation between women on the net with our symptoms. One woman said that antibiotics have a side effect most doctors dont know about. That the antibiotics can attack the delicate skin of the V area. You know? that is what i have always suspected happened to me. One gyno i went too, said that the sulfa antibiotic could have eaten cracks in my vagina. That was a year ago tho. have you ever heard that? cindy

this lady i spoke with said that she was misdiagnosed with a yeast infection (she really had e coli- bacterial infection) the doctor put her on diflucan for over a week-one pill every day
and she said the diflucan basically caused all her good yeast to be destroyed (we naturally are supposed to have some yeast and some bacteria in balance) and it made her vagina basically with the big ol V condition....

I have had to take a LOT of antibiotics in my life...never really occurred to me that is where my v pain could've come from - or at least been aggravated by. Ugh. A lot of the times, looking back, I hadn't needed the antibiotics. Unfortunately a lot of times I did.
