Hello all, Iām glad to have found this sub to maybe get some answers. I appreciate in advance if youāve stopped by to read my post.
I am 26 F and my vaginal issues started with chronic yeast infections. This was in college and up until I was maybe 24. I havenāt had much of those, thank god, but in the last 2-3 years Iāve had recurring UTIS. This last year and recently being the worst.
2019-2021 I got maybe 2-3 during each year but went away either by themselves or on antibiotics.
End of 2021-until now, Iāve had what I think has been a UTI since early December. At first, I didnāt really think much of it, but I ended up getting Macrobid last week (5 day supply).
It worked for a a couple days, but then it didnāt. I ironically went to the doctor today because I have a small cyst looking growth near my buttocks so they gave me Bactrim for that. I know Bactrim can help with UTIs so I am hoping it will solve both of these issues.
The thing is: Iām not sure whatās causing it. I pee after sex, but do have quite a bit of sex (one partner) and I feel symptoms after having sex
I go to the gym everyday but I am prone to sweating a lot in the vaginal / buttocks region so I understand the importance of changing out of tight leggings right away.
I used to take probiotics and eat a lot of fermented food, and I havenāt in the past 2 or so years. I know that will help for sure.
Anyway, my symptoms are mostly urgency, and burning while urinating. I donāt have blood or like āextremeā pain. I also have had a sore back for about 2 weeks. I did a UTI test at home and it came back positive for leukocytes and negative for nitrites. Is this an IC indicator?
Any insight would be so helpful. Iām not sure what to do. Praying the Bactrim works. I have two Diflucanās on deck in case a yeast infection decides to show up as well.
