Hi my name is Cassidy I'm 21 years-old I have had UTI'S before and last month I had a very serious bladder infection with a horrible rash around my anus. I got antibiotics for my bladder infection that went away and also got swabs done as well. 4 days later the doc called me and said I had a bacteria called giradia so I took metronidazole to get rid of it and after seven days of it I felt like it was not working, so I asked for the gel version of the same medicine and only used it for 2 days. On the second day of using it I went to see my family doctor and she prescribed me climdamycin 2 percent for seven days. I started using it and felt better for three days then my period started and it went back to the burning and irritation I had. I finished the medicine then went to the gyno she said I over medicated myself and I should just let my period end and use no more medicine. I have done that for about two weeks and recently saw another doctor about it who took a sample of me and looked at it through a microscope and said I had no infection and my cells looked very healthy and said it takes awhile for your vagina to feel normal again so she told me to wait it out. She also said that if it doesn't go away it could be vulvadynia. I looked it up and it sounds exactly like me: burning, irritation, burns when I pee and I feel like I have to pee all the time I also got the same rash around my anus and has been hurting after bowl movements. I have had such bad anxiety with this everyone tells me it will go away and it just takes a while to feel better but I know something is wrong. I am now on escitalopram 10mg and have been taking probiotics and cranberry pills. There are days I feel ok but days where it's very irritating I have not been diagnosed with anything but I feel like I have vulvadynia and I cry every day I miss going out, having fun, having sex with my boyfriend I'm scared he will end up cheating or something because I feel like this is never going to go away. I know i think about it to much but if I have this and it dosent go away I don't know how I will live my life please help me.
