Yeast infection/STI/ BV ???

[Deeksha79]

Hi,

So back in January I had protected sex for the first time with my partner. But we used quite a lot of lubricant and also I had my periods at that time.

After a week I got cottage cheese like discharge which was too severe and I visited my Gynacologist who also said that it’s a yeast infection (severe) and put me up on a pressery. The symptoms got better but after my periods I got it again.

I went to another Gynacologist for consultation and she took my swab test, (but it wasn’t for STI) it was just for yeast infection, BV and trichomonasis. She put me up on pressery and for 2 months everything was gone, it really worked well for me.

My school pants are too tight and collects moisture, after circuit breaker/ lockdown I stared going to school and got my infection back. It had thin white discharge, itching around my vagina. The doctor adviced me to take a test for STI but I’m too scared as after January I never had sex and never had unprotected one. So I asked doctor to put me on same pressery that made me feel better for 2 months, now I’m on it and taking it since last 3 days and feeling better. What should

I do? Should I go for the test? Or should I wait for a few more time??

Firstly I'm very sorry that your first experience has been so traumatic. You've had quite a time of it. Please don't let it put you of sex - you've just been really unlucky!

Secondly, go take the test. No one is judging you (and if they do it says more about them than it does about you) and no one can blame you if you have (some how) managed to catch an STI. Its better to rule it out than risk longterm damage by not treating things.

If it makes you feel less alone, I had one a few years ago. My ex gave it to me because he was sleeping around and picked it up. I felt terrible at the time but the staff at the clinic were kind and supportive. It really wasn't that bad - and I hate anything medical!

Go do it and put your mind at rest

Hi, if it’s persistent thrush you might like to try capryllic acid. You can buy this on the internet. It’s found naturally in coconut oil. I had persistent oral thrush after the gp changed my inhaler , and am prone to vaginal thrush too. I’m diabetic and thrush likes a sweet environment. 3 months of prescribed meds didn’t clear it and it was horrible. Capryllic acid did what the doctors couldn’t. Good luck. It’s really unlikely you have an sti as you were protected.

Thank a lot, I’ll surely try that! 😊

Cool, i hope it does the trick 😊 I started cooking with coconut oil after that and I haven’t had thrush since. Good luck 😊
