Ever had your vagina scream "something is WRONG," but every swab, test, and lab slip smugly insists you're "negative"?
In this episode of Labia Logic, Dr. Ashley Fuller and Dr. Meredith McClure walk listeners through the maddening medical mystery of symptoms that don't match the swab, and the uncomfortable truth that sometimes your vagina knows more than the lab.
If you've ever wondered why a test can lie while your vulva is very much telling an uncomfortable truth, welcome. Pull up a chair (preferably not the one with the crunchy paper).
In the Deep Cuts installment of The Discharge Chronicles, Ashley and Meredith explain the rare, weird, and wildly misunderstood conditions that fall outside "yeast, BV, or trich." They tell you how these tricky diagnoses present, how they differ, and why they so often get missed.
A few big takeaways:
- negative swabs don't mean normal
- what symptoms point to DIV versus CV
- pH tells a story (high or low!)
- overusing antibiotics or probiotics can backfire spectacularly
- what "zebra" diagnoses to keep on the radar, and most importantly,
- how to find a clinician who actually knows how to diagnose these conditions.
Clinicians, patients, and anyone with a chronically pissed-off vagina will finally get the instruction manual that medical training forgot to include in this episode of Labia Logic.
Listen and share!
