Hello! I wondered if anyone with personal experience of thrush could help me!
I have had swabs taken which were negative for bacteria and STIs but positive for thrush. I strongly think my thrush came from antibiotics (a 3 week course for suspected PID - metro-something and oflox-something).
I finished my antibiotics four days ago but my thrush is still there. I have had two oral doses of flu-something, and an internal pessary, although all taken whilst still on antibiotics. I have itching, irritation down below which all seem classic symptoms BUT my discharge is clumpy, sticky, with a definitely yellow colour.
Every time I read about thrush, the discharge is always white?!
Can anyone help? Has anyone had a more yellow colour?
Just to add.. I have had back/pelvic pain for months, which triggered this whole journey of investigation. The GP and I initially thought PID but swabs were negative for bacteria and ultrasound was clear of fluid etc. Blood tests also free from inflammation signs. I suffered a pregnancy loss back in August.
As well as the discharge, I still have the back and pelvic pain, and often have groin and leg pain.
Hi,
Sorry for your pregnancy lost...
Do you have lower abdominal pain or just pin and needle on your abdomen?
Did your pain started after your pregnancy lost?
Yes, all of this started after the loss. I was absolutely symptom free before.
Lower abdomen pain - like period type pain. But also aching hips. Scans are free of any retained tissue.
Oh my!!
You situation Just like mine!!
Did you had d&c or natural lost?(sorry suddenly forgot the term)
I’ve been reading your posts and we really are! It was medically managed in the end, and I had bleeding and retained tissue for months! Now all of this pain but tests always negative!
Your period normal after the loss?
Hard to say as haven’t yet had one that involved no tissue! My period in December cleared the last bit of tissue and then I went on the pill!
Ah i see..
I had lighter period & short length after the loss..
The pain really effects my life, my Dr suspecting endo not PID and suggests for a laparoscopy but I’m not ready for it..
*sorry late reply, we are in different time zone
Mine seems to be going through a massive trial and error process. I don’t think mine is PID now due to not responding to antibiotics, the swabs never showing bacteria, and my private scan showing no inflammation or free fluid. I’m at a loss for me. I swing between something supper scary and life threatening, to something not!!
i know how you feels.. we are in almost same situations.
Right now I think it’s maybe adhesions or something, i try to massage with castor oil and hot patches.. the pain feels like something heavy on my stomach, the pain most when i laying down and sitting. Feeling anxiety
I have yeast too, always had it.
Keep looking for answers and I know it’s tiring and i spent much money For treatment privately ... no shopping for me
You will be ok
Please update your scan tomorrow
