Guest guest Posted September 24, 2001 Report Share Posted September 24, 2001 this is my story, 2 years ago i divorced my husband of 10 years. I began a new relationship with my present husband, 6 weeks into our physical relationship i decided that i better get on the pill, I chose orthotricycline, a week after starting it i had painful urinary tract burning and was given an antibiotic, shortly after that i began having intense burning after sex, i thought i had a yeast infection and tried treating it myself, didn't work. i went back and forth to my family doc and my ob/gyn who kept looking at this discharge and telling me it looked like yeast, yeast meds only made it worse. then he began guessing and giving me other meds for trich. which I tested neg. for. this went on until I was so raw and swollen and in so much pain that i could no longer tolerate being touched. I was sent to a derm. doc who then sent me to the U of MIchigan vulvar clinic. oh some where in ther i managed to get pregnant, when i went to u of m she said vestibulitis, come back after the baby we will give you elavil, well i am nursing the little one so that wasn't possible. MY pain has resided some at one point after the baby I even thought it had gone, then it came back, right now i have very white discharge, lots of it it is gross and imbarrassing, my vulva is usually red and swollen, sometimes it moves inside the vagina. it stings no itching. I have had so many problems with ut irritation that i have begun seeing a urologist, who has found lactobacillis in my urine and looking back thats not the first time. I got my hopes up only to hear this morning that my vulvar irritation is not a common aspect of lactobacillosis. I don't always have the burning after intercourse any more but i always swell up and I have burning and discomfort everyday. I am mentally exhausted by this as well as physically. I have had type specific yeast cultures also they are negitive! anyone have any ideas things i should look for or ask for, I am loosing hope. dsp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
