Hell has been unleashed upon my hoo-hah

Talking about vaginal health, this is nasty but I don’t really have anyone to talk about this with so I thought you all might understand, if anyone does. I’m (21F) a young afab, sexually active in my relationship, and I have had ongoing intermittent dryness/discharge for the past year or two. I had been tested for STDS and honestly wasn’t that concerned about anything else, it was a little itchy but I figured it was just because of my birth control.

Now that my Crohns is doing way better I have been getting medical help for the other issues I face that aren’t as pressing, like possible POTS, chronic hives, psoriasis, and the dryness. I went and did an online questionnaire are did a bunch of testing, which came out clean for STDS/STIS again but it turns out I have BV and a yeast infection!

I know these are common but I still feel so gross and the thing that gets me is that I don’t know how long this had been going on for because I have been so preoccupied with my Crohns. I started a prednisone taper quickly followed by Inflectra almost 2 years ago, and a year ago I started Imuran as well. I know that immunosuppressants make you more prone to infections so I have been really vigilant about not getting sick, but I completely disregarded my vaginal health.

I guess I just feel gross about it and want to see how common this is or if anyone has tips on prevention. My hygiene is good and I don’t use perfumed body products, I’m considering a womens probiotic supplement but IDK how effective they actually are. My family never talked about this stuff and now I’m living alone so I just feel so dumb considering how educated I am about GI health.
