hello, seems cysts might be flavor of the month.

So I have what I suspect is a cyst of some kind, I suspect Bartholin’s cyst. They happen usually during my high fertile time, and go away on there own. It has been very hot recently and sweat seems to be a factor. I have actually tried to report to a nurse who was doing a smear but she couldn't see anything. I will have to go to a drop in clinic when i know its at its worse, as it was getting better at this point.

I tried to photograph the other day and the infected area looks mostly normal, a bump of tissue similar to the local area, it appears pinker,I tend to be quite dark down there, but no major differences.

there is slight pain and a hardness, interestingly this has only started happening since I had my son 4 years ago. The internet says it can be a reaction to std, but i've had my tests several times since this has begun.
Gonococcus,Chlamydia trachomatis , Escherichia coli ,Haemophilus influenzae are sited causes on N.H.S. direct website.
I guess the question is, although its always temporary is there options open to me i'm not thinking of?

Canesten during or after antibiotics?

I'm on day 3 of a ten day course of heavy antibiotics, which was preceded by four days on a different antibiotic. The yeast infection is setting in, and I can tell that my usual regime (diet of buckets of yoghurt and yakult, + 10cc of plain yoghurt and a clove of garlic inserted at night for three nights) just isn't going to cut it this time. Two doctors have given me different advice about a treatment regime -- one said not to bother with clotrimazole cream + probiotics until after I'd finished this course, and the other said to start using pessaries or cream right away, every night during and for a week after the course.

Any advice? I was thinking about using the cream every second night just to keep symptoms at bay for the next week, and then every night for a week.

Not sure if I should be worried...

Hey there Folks,

It's been awhile since I've been on live journal but I had nowhere else to turn to for advice because I'm freaking myself out.. for the past week and a half I've been experiencing vertigo, headaches constipation and intense nausea daily.everything from a thought to a random smell or just eating anything at all had me either gagging or vomiting. I just wrote it off as pms because my period was due soon then I was late by acouple of days. I started my cycle today and had to be sent home from work (I'm a server) because the craps came out of nowhere. Ive never had cramps this intense and combined with the vertigo I was already feeling I could barely move without havingto breathe carefully..

Im not pregnant, am a lesbian and haven't been with guy in almost a year so thats not the problem

Edit** I just made it home and now that constipation doesn't seem to be an issue, crapping hurts like a b*tchib but at least it's happening
