Please can anyone tell me if they have had symptoms like this before? I am battling with GP for more help and want to know if there is more they can give me. Symptoms started directly after a smear test.
My current symptoms:
urine smells really strong/weird in the mornings and whenever I am dehyrated/dark urine - it's not a normal urine smell, I've never had it before but I can't describe it. General discomfort down below, generally around the times when I am dehydrated or sitting for a long time - not stinging or burning, just discomfort. Sometimes a bit itchy, not often. Sometimes discharge, it's clear. Not really a smell apart from the urine thing.
Background:
- Joined a new GP, they send you for a full MOT including urine test. I saw on results that urine test showed leukocytes - but I had 0 symptoms of anything and GP didn't mention it
- Next month I had routine smear test. Prior to this I had absolutely 0 symptoms.
- 2 days after smear I develop what I thought was UTI symptoms - painful urination, need to urinate more, general discomfort. GP sends me for urine and swab test.
- Urine test could not be completed as it wasn't sealed properly, but swab came back showing yeast.(negative for BV and trich). GP did not mention this to me, I saw it on results. No follow up from GP.
- Go back to GP for another urine test, I'm told it comes back clear. I'm told to take boric acid suppositories.
I am now 2 months later and I have tried every single OTC treatment. Fluconazole works and clears all symptoms for 2 days then it returns, same with miconazole. But I cannot afford to keep buying these every few days.
I go back to GP and explain this. She tells me to take vaginal probiotics and I am now awaiting results from another swab.
Has anyone had anything similar? I'm at my wits end.
