Hi,i am 36 and i have been having candida over growth since 10 years now. Ive tried many diets, vaginal douches and different herbal remedies plus Calcarea Fluorica 6x. Non of them worked. Discharge is curd like, sometimes cream like with no disturbing scent, only rush is just before mensturation, on final days of mensturation and 2 days after. I have regular and not heavy/painful mensturations. I prefer cool weather not so cold, but i cant stand if its hot. Walking and long time standing increase the discharge.Sometimes i get needling pain on my ovaries. I have less tolerance and dont like crowd. Often depressed and continually want to sleep, very low energy most of the time but sudden energy jumps i get and i complete many things at the same time that ive been postponding for long time.
I have vaginal discomfort ,itching,sroreness,especially after periods ,white line mostly inside vagina.its hard for me to remove hairs as it causes often harshness and bleeding.I am 42
I don’t see mention to yellowish discharge, no more pain nor itching (after 2 weeks). Discharge is not thick /curdish, but less thick. No other symptoms. This is the first time I’ve experienced this (63 yrs old . . . very healthy diet)
Thanks for any ideas.
