Doctors are busy, but, especially if this is a longstanding problem, insist on being seen, examined, and have the discharge looked at under a microscope. If your doctor isn't looking at the discharge under the microscope, you are wasting your time, your money, and your vulvar health. Another suggestion for further research and reading. As such, I am my patients' employee, in all the true sense of the word. My frustration, and yours, I am sure, is the woman who just doesn't get what she PAYS for, and so, disillusioned, turns to other sources for the information that she pays hard dollars for in her doctor's office.
Empowerment is the word, and it is an idea whose time has come.
Thanks for letting me vent, and hopefully, to instruct.
