Maryann,
I will discuss this with my doctors. I feel a long term antibiotic treatment would end up causing harm in itself considering my reaction to antibiotics.
I did mention resistance to my primary but he said my blood work comes back with low to no resistance.
Susan,
I have considered the possibility that the IUD is causing (if not retaining) the bacteria. I never dealt with BV until after paragard. I do wonder if taking it out would correct that issue.
Thank you both for replying.
My reason for choosing IUD over the pill was that I had seen a bad reaction to loestrine. Severe mood swings into depression, bloating, hair loss, and weight gain among others. For some reason I also spot frequently in between periods on the pill.
I am the unlucky person to experiance these problems with side effects while having other issues where I need medications to prevent worse consequences.
As of now I am thinking I need to go back to the gyn since the infection I am currently experiencing seems to only minimally be getting better after taking diflucan 4 days ago and using an external antifungal cream. I know by day 4 I should be near clear, but instead I am still expering mild discomfort through the day and discomfort moderate enough to keep me awake and some slight peeling still going on.
I have also been feeling mild flank pain, so all I keep thinking is here I go again...
