i have a bacterial infection in my throat, it hurts really really bad! they gave me pills to take one every 8 hours for ten days. Could you tell me what things i could do to make my throat feel better? And my boyfriend just told me that his throat is sore, is it contagious? Thanks so much!

So I think I have bacterial vaginitis or genital warts. I have small flesh colored bumps, a very offensive smelling urine, fishy smelling discharge and itching. I had a yeast infection but I didnt know what to do about it so I didnt treat it for about 5 to 6 months. I finally treated it during my first month in college which was in august and i no longer have the cottage cheese-like discharge that comes along with yeast infections but I still have the other symptoms. I am sexually active but when these symptoms appeared I hadnt had sex in almost 2 months. I wanted to know if this was cause by not treating my yeast infection in time or by genital warts. also if i decide to go to planned parenthood, what information do i need to bring with me and is there anything that i need to pay for? someone please help me…

-depressed and desperate for help

I am currently taking Metronidazole for BV, this is only my 3rd day taking it. My husband drove me to the doctor on tuesday, and all last week and the week before i had all my usual pms symptoms, I usually get irratable, gain 8-10 pounds of water weight. Back muscle aches, and depending on the month Increased or decreased appettite. This month it increasd. I usually get a lot of symptoms. I did have alot of pelvic pain and pressure, and i believe that was caused by Bacterial Vaginosis.
Anyway, before i started the antibiotics, all my symptoms were there, and my breast were very sore and swollen, and the next day after taking it it, all my symptoms just seemed to vanish, including the water weight. Which is really crazy, because i had tried everything else to get rid of the bloating and nothing seemed to work. I usually exercise a few times of week. And my cycle is always normal. I know what to expect each month and its always the same. …….
My period isn’t really late yet, but it’s due today, and I’m not sure what’s happened because all my symptoms have gone,and i usually get my period around the early morning hours or a few hours before the day I expect to get it. WHy did all my symptoms stop?
After i’m done with the antibiotics i am going to go to the doctor to see if everything has cleared up. This just made me really curious. I will wait the rest of the day to see if i get my period, there’s still plenty of time left. I was just curious about my pms just vanishing like that… as much as i hate it

I’m use to feeling miserable from the 2 weeks before my period, until atleast a few days after it’s come. It’s really strange to me.
Thanks you guys, and no i’m not on birth control by the way.

before i dated my boyfriend i am already suffering from bacterial vaginosis and sometimes yeast infection. i treat them but it always occurs. it always occurs even until now, then it will go, then comes back again. should it be bcoz he is not treated too? i notice whenever i am treated and make love with him, it comes back. it happened three times. now i am afraid to do it with him. should i give him the same medication i took? i took negazole metronidazole 500 mg.

I have been seen by 3 different doctors about some vaginal bleeding I have been having the first doctor said I had a hole in my cervix that could be cancerous so that same day I got a second opinion and the second doctor said I was o.k as well as the third doctor their was’nt a hole in my cervix but I am still having the same problem I’ve also had my anual exam done and everything was fine I see my doctor on 11-27 but I just want some more opinions about what could be going on could this just be what they call cervica erosion caused from douching and trauma to the cervix. I also for the past five years had problems with bacterial vaginosis having to be treated continuosly could this also be the case.

round,I obviously want to make sure everything’s ok. I’ve already been on a 200mg 7 day course of metronizodole for bacterial vaginosis which I finished on Friday and now I’ve just been to the doctor to get swabbed again to make sure it’s gone to find I had blood and leuccocytes in my urine!! How can I get rid of repeated infections!?

I was diagnosed with HPV in April of this year. I have been in and out of the Gynecologist office for the last 6 months now and it’s really starting to get expensive and cut into my life and job. I currently do not have health insurance, so every lab, test, and time I go for a doctors visit, it’s out of my pocket. I have been with the same person now for a little over a year and I have been checked for Gonorrhea and Chlamydia, and I do not have either, nor did I ever. I am 21 years old and I have NEVER experienced this before.

In the beginning of May I went into the Gynecologist because I was having discomfort in my vaginal area, a discharge and an itching burning sensation. Before i went however, a few days prior, I bought over the counter Moistat because I’ve had a UTI before and after taking the Monistat it went away.

This time, my symptoms didn’t go away, and that’s why I went back to the doctor. She told me while doing my PAP test, that she could see that I had Bacterial Vaginosis, and prescribed Tindemax for me to take.

After a week my symptoms lessoned and seemed like they were gone, but slowly started to come back. I called the gynecologist and they said this was normal and very common and that the burning was probably from the test that i had last gotten. They told me from scraping my insides and taking samples, sometimes there will be a discharge that follows and it causes burning.

This time they prescribed a cream that I had to put on twice a day to dull the burning, but it only made it worse. After a week the symptoms were still there and i was still having discomfort.

A week later I called once again and I was prescribe ed the Tindamax again. At this point it may have been Bacterial Vaginosis coming back.

Throughout the entire summer I had symptoms on and off. I would have a burning sensation almost 24/7. Occasionally it would be itchy and irritated, and i’d have a very slight discharge.

One of my friends recommended ed that i try Diflucan (a medicine for yeast infections). She told me that my gynecologist may have mistaken my Bacterial Vaginosis for a yeast infection… which the more I read, the more common it is. Once again after taking the Diflucan pill, my symptoms seemed to go away for a few days. No burning, no discharge, and no itching. But as always, the following week they were ALL back again, and continued to come and go.
almost as almost as if it was hit or miss in the morning as to whether I’d be in discomfort that day or not.

It is now October and I recently went back to the Gynecologist because I just couldn’t handle having this burning sensation ANY longer! I told my doctor that this effectd my relationship with my boyfriend sexually, and emotionally. It has ruined so many events for me and it ruins my days because the constant burning feeling doesn’t curb or go away. I explained to my doctor that there is still slight irritation on my inner Labia, and there is a constant warm burning sensation.. (almost as if im wearing warming gel ALL day long)! I have tried doing all the home remedies for a yeast infection.. eating the natural yogurt, drinking a TON of cranberry juice, wearing plain cotton underwear, using different soaps..everything.

I do not want to return to my Gynecologist ever again. This last time that I went, she told me that if im STILL having these symptoms and I have already taken medications and prescription antibiotics and still having discomfort it could be a chronic pain, recommended anti depressants for me… I was so baffeld and upset that I couldnt stop crying because once again I have a burning sensation that will not go away, and slight irritation. When she saw how upset I got she said that this could be HPV or genital warts that are bothering and burning me and this makes NO sense. I have not had anything on me.

My boyfriend has never had a problem, no burning or itching for him. Just to give the overall jist of my symptoms, My vaginal area is always burning and always feels like constant heat.. as i’ve said before it feels like i have warming gel on. It doesn’t burn when I pee, just feels hot. I have a slight dthat’srge thats just a little thick when I wipe after going to the bathroom (a yellowish white) and I always seem to be (wet) down in that area. It’s not painful when I have sex, and this doesn’t cause any actual pain.. just discomfort. There is no smell or odor, and I only have itching when the burning gets bad. I always seem a bit irritated and slightly red.

If ANYONE can relate to this or give me any kind of information or anything at all. I am at a loss of what to do and this feeling is so annoying and taking over my life. Thanks so much.

If so, what are the affects on men and how should they be treated?

I have been suffering this for almost 3years probably even more… Why havent I told my Mum? – Because whenever I try to hint to her or tell her she always says ‘ It’s because you don”t wash yourself properly’ or says ‘just use lemon’
My Symptoms:
Broken Creamish Discharge
I use to get irritation but not any more
It smells bad

Is it thrush or Vaginosis and what over counter things can I purchase

Btw I am 16 and No I do not have anyone to go to about this.. I wish I had a sister
