What Causes Yellow Vaginal Discharge On Intake Of Certain Foods?

Okay, here is my problem. I ve been having recurring yeast infections for the last 7 years and at first fluconizole worked for me, but now every medication prescribed by my doctors aren t working. On top of that, I keep getting bacterial vaginosis and smell horrible. Metronidazole works for the smell, but now whenever I have any bread, pasta or sugar I get a lot of thick white and yellow discharge and the doctors say they don t know what to do for me and tests have shown I have blood in my urine, but they still do nothing for me. Please help me. It s embarrassing to constantly smell and people look at me crazy and sometimes make comments. Help!

Hello and welcome to HCM,
The problem that you are facing is that of recurrent fungal infection of vaginal tract and bacterial vaginosis.
Fungal infection occurs in acidic pH and bacterial vaginosis occurs at higher pH in the vaginal tract.
Thus, there is constant variation of vaginal pH.
You need to take some steps:
1. First of all stop using tampons if you are using them.
2. Get your blood glucose level. Females with diabetes mellitus are more prone to vaginal tract infection.
3. Practise only protected sex

For bacterial vaginosis, very effective anti-microbial therapy is available and effective anti-fungal treatment is available for fungal infection.

If all measures are ineffective then you need to get a high vaginal swab for microbiological examination.
The examination of high vaginal swab will detect the organism causing the infection.
A culture and drug sensitivity can be done to select the most appropriate antibiotic effective against the infection.

Thanks and take care
