Group B strep/ Infection

FLxo · 12-21-2008, 06:27 PM

Hi Im 19 and I've been having problems for about 6 months now; Over the past year and a half ive been getting reoccuring UTI's. I got one this July and I couldn't kick it. Was on cypro then bactrum, they cleared up the infection eventually, but ive been having severe vaginal irritation and urinary symptoms since then. I recently had a culture done after another most recent UTI and they found group B strep. I was wondering if anyone else is dealing with this and what their advice/ soultions are. If anything has worked at all. Ive been on six antibiotics since July for UTIs and now group B strep.
Ive noticed that generally, although it does act up from time to time, the symptoms are at their worst around the few days before and after my period. Due to my symptoms ; itching, burning, pain, inflamation and pain/burning when I urinate; my doctors have been treating me for uti's (antibiotics) and yeast infections (vaginal suppositories) for the last 6 months, but i think the problem is larger and requires more than a "quick fix". Im just trying to find answers to what could be causing it as well as solutions.

thanks for you're time and I would love any feedback on the matter. esp if someone else if going through the same thing!
