 Bacterial Vaginosis and urethral tingling/burning? Doesn't sound likely
Hi everyone,
I wrote a post a few weeks back questioning the accuracy of chlamydia and gonorrhea testing by swab of my vaginal fluids, and I was awaiting my test results before I took any medication. My test results were negative, although the bacterial vaginosis result was positive. It's worth mentioning that I started developing my symptoms two weeks after making the mistake of cheating on my boyfriend. My symptoms were pelvic pain, yellowish discharge, urethral tingling/burning and pain but NOT upon urination, and a bad vaginal odor. It looked as if my discharge was possibly spotted with blood, as well. Now, it's been about a few weeks, and I'm having symptoms again. Last time I was experiencing symptoms, it was right after my menstrual period, and it's the same this time. Right as my period was ending, I started experiencing the same symptoms, and it's the same story now. I never completely treated myself for bv, as the metrogel burned terribly and gave me a horrible yeast infection, which did go away with the use of acidophilus suppositories. I called my doctor about the symptoms I'm still experiencing, and the nurse I spoke to told me that the chlamydia and gonorrea testing is VERY accurate, and not to worry about that, but that I probably just have another bacterial infection. But I have NEVER heard of a bacterial infection causing urethral symptoms, except on one website, which happens to be the CDC's site. But in all of my research, I have never read about anyone with bv having urethral symptoms. I have an appt. in a week with ANOTHER doctor to hopefully get retested, but has anyone experienced urethral issues with bv or heard of anyone who has? I deathly terrified that I did contract Chlamydia or Gonorrhea and that the test was wrong. I should also mention that I have a Copper IUD (Paragard), which I've had for about 5 months now.
