Thread: I need help...Pleaseee

It's good you went to the doc. I know it's hard waiting for results, but try to calm down until you get them. Stress doesn't help. Once you have the results then you will at least know what u r dealing with. It may not be as bad as what u think. Take care and keep us updated,k.

Hello, I'm not an expert at this but maybe a few suggestions might help. First of all you need to relax and calm down. Secondly, my advice is not to engage in intercouse or anytime of sexual activity until you find out what the problem is. Other pieces of advice are:

• Do not wash with any time of body wash or soap around or near the vaginal area. You could just be experiencing a reaction to the soap or something that you used. I used to experience issues like this and my gyno recommended just water around my vaginal area.
• Avoid touching the area or introducing your finger into your vagina. You could be increasing your odds of introducing harmful bacteria into your vagina.
• Since your doctor prescribed medicine make sure you take it as directed.
• Also do not double dose on medicine such as yeast infection medicine. This too can cause a reaction.
• Get tested for STD(s). If you are engaging in sexual activity and are not in an ongoing relationship or not planning on becoming pregnant you must always use some form of protection. NO MATTER WHAT!

This isn't meant to be a lecture and please don't take it that way. I hope this helps. Also, please realize that you will survive and we are all here to talk. Please let us know how you are doing. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

All the best,

I read posts like this and always wonder...

Your doctor told you what is wasn't but did he make mention of what it could be? In our office women are always given some type of counsel on tests, what the tests are for, what proceedure is being performed ect ect. Most times the doctor will say something like well, I dont believe its a yeast infection but the symptoms indicate it may be this or this or that. We will do X test and examine the results. My nurse will call you with this information and for follow up. In the interum, here is some cream that may help relieve the itching and a broad spectrum antibiotic for infection. He will also advise abstainance and avoiding irritants until the tests results are in. After 24 hours the nursing staff does follow up with a call to the patient to kind of check in with them to see how things are going. Make sure they are taking the medication, any changes good or bad and do you have any questions... It is frustrating to see that so many MDs leave their patients hanging and wondering without any reassurance or information.

In any case, your symptoms sound like they could be as simple as a vaginitis or an allergic reaction. Please dont take that as a diagnosis just a possibility.

Im sorry this is such a scarry time for you. I hope you have your answers soon. Let us know how things work out.
