Sigh, this is what I was afraid of. Honestly, this has been going on for five years now, and now that I know this isn't something normal, I'm terrified of this infection messing with my fertility (not that I'd want to conceive right now, but you know what I mean).

I've heard stories of the infection returning as soon as two weeks after clearing up, and I'm already weary of antibiotics as they have a nasty habit of destroying all bacteria, and possibly creating stronger bacteria if it isn't completely killed off. Is there any way that I could fix up an at home remedy for this? Can I take some bromelain or acidophilus (we don't have yogurt) or other supplements?

I've never been to a gyno, and I'm afraid to go. Thank you for helping, ladies.
