Internal genitals Questions

    gynie

    I have constant discharge, not always yellow, sometimes clear. I have no other symptoms. I feel wet all the time, and wear a panty liner every day. The amount I lose is consistent but constant. I have been tested for thrush but all clear. This all started after a very bad urine infection, which caused lesions. My GP thought it was herpies but test showed urine and water intection. What could this be?

    weeping cyst and lower abdominal pain

    I have a cyst, about the size of a grape, just on the entry to my vagina, and have had it for over a year. In addition to this I have a sore, about 1 inch above the cyst, which bleeds and oozes puss. I have seen my GP about both several times, and keep getting prescribed antibiotics. Over the last two weeks it has been bleeding lightly, and is oozing puss out every day, both through the cyst and the sore and is extremely painful. I am also having lower abdominal and back pain, and constantly feel like I need to wee and poo, and am really tired and constantly light headed. I went to my GP on Tuesday, who said an examination was uneccesary and has prescribed me antibiotics. If anything it is getting worse, with the puss now getting heavier, my light headedness is now prolonged dizzy spells, and I feel shattered - walking and sitting down is painful, and painkillers are not working. My doctor has said that I need to let the antibiotics take their course, but I am worried that it is something more serious.

    Rectocele vs cystocele

    You dealt with me about my rectocele. I went to see my doctor and he says that it is not rectocele, it is more of a cystocele (personally I feel that from my symptoms that it is more of a rectocele, as, when I had a cystocele it was not like this) and that if I have any more operations they will need to close me up and I will be unable to have sexual intercourse, which to us as a couple is very important. So I am torn between a rock and a hard place. On the other hand I am uncomfortable enough not to remain like this for the rest of my life. My doctor could see on examination that my passage was short and I must admit that sexual intercourse is uncomfortable. Should I seek a second opinion? I feel that my doctor was in a hurry and did not really listen to me, nor did he ask many questions. Many thanks. Kind regards ***********

    Women's Health

    I have already been to see a gynaecologist but am unsatisfied by her diagnosis. I recently realised that my vaginal canal feels lumpy and bulbous. She checked me out and did some sort of ultrasound and internal examination. She says the canal ‘feels’ normal to her and that it may just be thinning of the wall but 2 months later it still feels the same internally and I’m just not convince by the explanation. Can you offer me any other theories or advice so that I can pursue this with the doctor. Thanks in advance.

I had an hpv infection diagnosed by smear ten years ago I dont know what strain it was . colopscopy showed cin 2/3 which was treated i have had yearly smears since and have all been clear . I have no other medical problems . I have recently become more aware of the implications of hpv . mouth and throat cancers anal cancer etc although the hpv from the cervix has stayed clear i am frightened it could be else where , throat etc causing cancer. I am becoming completley obsessed with worrying about this and am convinced i will get throat cancer because of this . My gp is not that helpful saying that i should not worry about it and cant even understand why i am being called for annual smears .

    burning vagina

    Hi, I have a very long story, 27 months ago I had a baby, during my pregnancy I suffered from thrush but my doctor prescribed me with canestan combi, which worked, I had a induced labour with inducing gel which as soon as it was used syringed inside my vagina it instantly started syrindged and I was suffering with a lot of discomfort, I told the doctor I didn't want anymore and she said do you have thrush I said no, and she continued to put more gel inside, (maybe I should have mentioned that I had been recently treated for thrush) I eventually went on a drip and had a epidural to progress labour and I was put on a catheter , 9 centimetres and 3 days later I had a c-section and I stayed on the catheter to the next morning, when I eventually went to the toilet when i wiped myself my vulva felt very sore and dry, almost like i was scraping the area, things continued the same for weeks but i just assumed it was because of the trauma i had been through, eventually when me and my boyfriend had sex it burned really bad, and for about a year it stayed the same even my clitoris burns when touched! after the 1st year i noticed the burning sensation went away for about 10 days during ovulation and my next period, but the burning would come back about 10 days b4 my next period, things are still the same each month, same routine, anyway a year ago i went to the doctor and had swabs and they were negative then i got referred to a specialist and she had one look and said you have eczema,she gave me locoid steroid cream for when its bad (which is for 3 weeks constant a month) and a double base shower gel, i could feel the burn even when i applied these it even made it worse and i eventually realised they was not working, so i went to see a private gynaecologist who took swabs they were also negative then she said i have something like a nappy rash and to use sudo creme and betnovate steroid cream which didn't work, at this point i don't want anymore steroid cream (its probably doing more bad then good) then a couple of months back during my period the burning was so severe it was unbearable i also go a huge cut down the right side of my vagina and i made an appointment for the doctor she game me canesten cream and referred me to a dermatologist the canesten did ease the pain, the following month i got the cut again during my period, when i went to see the dermatologist she said i do have slight eczema that could have been triggered from a reaction from the inducing gel during labour, but i also have vestibulodynia and gave me yet more steroid eumovate cream, epaderm cream and numbing gel, the numbing gel only worked on the opening but my clitoris still burns as i obviously didn't put the numbing gel on my clitoris,but the burning pain is up inside my vagina too, when i read more about vestibulodynia i realised that i have probably been wrongly diagnosed because its isnt just on my vagina opening its all over and inside, and the creams she gave me yet again when applied the burning was still present, also on my examination with the dermatologist she said the i have got a huge scar from the cut i have been getting during my period and also my inner lips have disappeared, as i feel like the symptom feels like yeast i have been trying home remedies but again burning is still present and i also took a saliva test when you spit in a glass first thing in the morning and if the saliva goes to the bottom (which mine did) then there are traces of candida in my body (not sure if that is accurate), i feel that whatever it is , is controlled by my hormones because when i am not due my period and not ovulating i feel normal, and i am really at my lowest with it all now, i cant go on this way. thank you for your time
