    multiple infections since lap. in september... driving myself CRAZY!

    so as most of you already know, i had a laparoscopy done in sept. of this year for endometriosis & since then i have had nothing but problems... i have had 2 yeast infections and one case of BV, all of which were treated with antibiotics/antifungals. i just finished a round of monistat for my most recent yeast infection (which was caused by the BV medication) and now i think i may have yet ANOTHER bacterial infection...

    all my panties were ruined bc of the bleeding on & off after my lap and as a side effect of going back on the pill, so i went out and bought myself some new ones for christmas. today was the first time i wore them and when i went to use the restroom, i noticed some yellow discharge in my undies. i am due for my period within the next week or so, but usually i get white discharge before my cycle, not yellow... i am so confused. why would i keep getting reoccuring infections, especially 2 different forms of infection, and all within only a few weeks of eachother? i have been in a lot of pain recently, as well as finding blood in my urine, both visable & microscopic, after a culture, so i think it's possible the endo is back... i'm not sure if that could be a cause of the discharge/frequent infections but nonetheless i'm getting worn out on trying to sort out my problems.

    i have an ob/gyn appointment on friday but i need relief in the mean time... what to do?

    i forgot to mention i have the paragard iud and the last few weeks i've noticed some pain & burning near my cervix... i have been tested multiple time for STD's and i am CLEAN. i have been in a monogamous relationship for the past 3+ years so i'm not sure what to think here.

      one other thing... i have been having a difficult time urinating the past few months (starting a stream, then i feel like i haven't fully emptied my bladder when finished, just a pain & pressure when i try to force it out) as well as some burning/pain in my cervix. starting to get concerned, hopefully it is not a complication from my surgery.
