Chronic Vaginal InfectionsFrom: Alison (anonymous@obgyn.net)Mon, 24 Mar 1997 22:07:25 -0600 (CST)
For the last six months (after having a single episode of unprotected sex)I've had chronic vaginal infections that behave like yeast (heavy white discharge, burning, etc.). My internist treated the "yeast" but countless rounds of Monistat and 2 treatments of diflucan did nothing to improve my symptoms. I was referred to a gyn who diagnosed it as an overgrowth of bacteria and treated it with a 7 day round of antibiotics (flagyl). Again, no solution. Over the last month, however, I've been experiencing increasing abdominal pain on my lower left side and my abdomen has been swollen and tender the entire time. There is obviously something wrong but my doctors just keep trying to treat the external symptoms. I've had no blood work done, only urine specimens. I know they've checked for all the standard STD's (Gon., chylm., etc.), but I am curious now about PID. I'm really afraid and concerned and don't know who to see next. Should I request a sonogram? Is this a common problem among other women? I don't even know what I'm facing. Cysts, cancer, other infections... neither of my doctors have showed much interest in pursing this any further, but I'm in pain! Any suggestions? Thanks. Alison
