I started cipro, as well as metronidazole, on july 19th to treat a UTI and bacterial vaginosis….i got a letter in the mail saying i needed to be treated for chlamydia so i also had to take doxycycline this was july 25th…..i have taken and finished all anti biotics…i am on the birth control pill and my weeks start on saturdays so the saturday coming will be the start of my last white pill week before i take my period pills starting next saturday….well im having some what of a heavy brown colored blood coming out now and ive read you can spot in between periods if you have a STD, my question is, is there a chance i could still have the disease and this is the reason for the early blood or can it be because i have just recently taking all these anti biotics, because im not stressed out about anything for it to be stress related….and if you have something negative to say you can kiss a** because i was infected by a person ive been with for 6 years and who i thought was being monogamus like i was….

Ok so just recently on Monday I had my first trip to the gynecologist and this is my first time meeting this doctor, so there’s no patient/doctor relationship between us. He tells me that it looks like I have bacterial vaginosis and I’m thinking is this why I’ve had so many other problems like UTI & a pelvic infection? I’m just now learning what that is exactly and I’m asking myself how long have I had this because I remember back in 9th grade or so, I’ve noticed an odor & discharge from my vaginal area. It really bothered me, the odor made me feel uncomfortable and I tried talking to my mom about it but she didn’t seem too concerned about it and I couldn’t go to a gynecologists. No matter how much I clean, the odor is there & discharge (sometimes discharge is a lot).

The doctor prescribed some antibiotics called Flagyl (the most horrible thing ever) and they’re not fitting well with my body at all. I have other issues going on like tingling in hands or leg sometimes, feeling like I might pass out or whatever, terrible anxiety and stress and I HATE the thought of taking anymore antibiotics because they all give me terrible heartburn. Even though the doctor said it shouldn’t bother my heartburn but it set me way back with my heartburn. Which I’m taking prevacid as well & those side effects are already enough, I’m not one who likes foreign things (pills) to be in my body all the time. THERE HAS TO BE another way to treat bacterial vaginosis & the health of your vagina??

i.e. like some kind of prescribed creams, over the counter creams, feminine soaps, natural treatments, just anything
