Some of you may recall my Hellish yeast infection from two years ago (see the Chronicles of the Holy Bleeding Cooter, June '09 - January '10). My labia minora would swell and bleed and throb painfully, and it turned out to be a Yeast Infection, damnit, when I thought I had crotch cancer and I might be taken seriously.
Well, it's back.
Two years ago it would have been diagnosed swiftly and easily if I'd had the classic yeast infection symptom: Cottage Cheese Crotch, but it would seem my yeast infections are non-dairy. Come to think of it, most female reproductive systems are lacto-ovo vegetarian, mine is vegan. No eggs, no milk, no cottage cheese.
Yikes. You have my sympathy.

Ew. Sorry about your painfully infected genitals!

Mine never smelled like cottage cheese, they smelled like bread and looked like I had soggy crouton crotch.

So sorry. It sounds like hell.

Becs - Thank you. Actually it only lasted a few days, but I know it'll be back next month if I don't nip this in the bud.
Tami - My genitals appreciate you attention.
Angie - That makes sense. I guess yeast is yeast. But isn't there yeast in beer, too? I'm thinking a beer crotch ... might appeal to some ...
Brenda - Short term hell! It's clearing up.
