Father has been out of work for two years now because doctors say he may have infection in the biliary. Some doctors say viral and some say bacterial. You would think that if he had ANY infection that it would spread without any treatments. Doctors wont treat him b/c the infection is not getting worse but at the same time it’s not getting better.

So how can he have an infection for two years that sits in one place? Can he have an infection that just doesn’t spread?

Every time I go to class, I get gassy. The gas escapes me when I am sitting down on a chair. I get a bit paranoid not knowing whether it is distracting the person sitting next to me, does it smell, are they looking at me? What can I do about this? Is it my diet or do I need to learn how to relax? Do I have food allergies? Is there something that I can eat that can help me digest food quicker. Maybe this is the problem. I also suffer from chronic bacteria vaginosis and have been taking capsules to promote good bacteria. I also eat a half a cup of yogurt. What should I eat? Am I missing a vitamin?

but everytime we had intercourse it would start again…the fishy odor keeps on coming back..this is the third episode that happen….how do i get this kind of medical problem…..

Whenever I go see a doctor for a sore throat, they generally know if I have a bacterial infection, which is then treated with antibiotics. How do they know the infection is not caused by virus?

I have had a bacterial infection for 5 months now. I do not have insurance, money or a doctor. I need natural cures so i can get rid of this finally!!

I’ve been tested repeatedly at a clinic. She said she didn’t see yeast, she did the STD test each time she checked for yeast and bacterial vaginitis, no STDs, even gave me paid for some cream for herpes(even though I don’t have any bumps or anything but she wanted me to try it because she can’t figure it out) and that stuff didn’t help other than lubricating it a lil’. I am so frustrated, never had this kind of problem, only have had like 1 or 2 yeast infections ever. On the sides next to my clitoris it’s red, around the opening of the vagina it’s red and irritated(but not really inside), vulva is itchy at random, and it’s kinda red on the lips. Not really any discharge. I am just so confused and frustrated it’s been months now of trying stuff that the doctor has told me to try, nothing has made it go away. Any ideas?
I haven’t had sex since this started, originally I thought I might be allergic to the strawberry lubricant we used(first time I use lubricant and go figure), but I’ve tried taking antihistamine, and using hydrocortisone, I’ve tried to think of anything else that I could be allergic to, I try to wear no underwear at all or cotton ones. I use a little bit of sensitive skin un-scented dove soap on a washcloth to clean down there and that’s all I use the washcloth for. It’s just so frustrating and random.
I’m not overweight. I’m 5ft 3in and about 130lb. For my body type that’s average/normal.
I haven’t been tested for a UTI since back before all the stuff down there started. I had pinching in my sides(specifically my right one), but she did the test and said she didn’t really see anything but she gave me a prescription and I took it to see if it helped. Then a little while after that I got a yeast infection and monistat took care of it. I went to this other place to make sure I didn’t have cysts on my ovaries, they said I didn’t, and also gave me a pap, ever since that pap it’s felt kinda eh down there. I was feeling a lil’ better when we used the lubricant and then ever since the lubricant I can’t seem to feel normal down there again. I haven’t touched that lubricant since that one time. So that can’t be it…:shakes head:
Julzz33 I’ve tried most of the things you’ve recommended, because I know I’m sensitive to scented laundry soaps and what not. However looking into vulvodynia, may need to do that more, I’ve read about probably almost everything that causes the symptoms I have…Oh and than you and everyone else for your answers. I really do appreciate it.
Alan, I live in the United States, in Kansas more precisely.

if so what do you do to prevent them. it seems like i only get them when i have sex. its really annoying. my gyn said some women are just prone to get them all the time. if anyone suffers from this to i could use their advice

For my science project we have to talk about if we would rather have a viral infection or a bacterial infection and why? Thanks for all the help!

For over a year I’ve been told I have some kind of bacterial infection. However, numerous cultures have been sent out and they never come back with anything. No bacteria, aerobic/anaerobic, no fungus, no yeast. Is it possible to have a bacterial infection even if 8,9, 10+ cultures all come back with ZERO growth? The only thing Dr. knows for sure is that I have lots and lots of white blood cells, which would indicate my body is trying to fight something off.
