Have I got an STD?

Just posting in here to see if anyone has had similar experiences.
Bit of a background -
I was with my partner for several years, and for some reason during that time contacted NUMEROUS utis. Quite literally every time we’d have s*x I’d get a UTI. I now believe I’m permanently damaged as I always have symptoms of one regardless and no UTI shows up on doctors tests :( but anyway !

Me and my him broke up for several months, and then after I had our son (via C-section) we slept together. It wasn’t too painful but probably shouldn’t of had sx so soon afterwards (it was about four weeks :/)
Quite literally after DTD I didn’t feel right and could almost feel the bacteria entering my body - TMI I know!! I instantly was in pain down there and felt very itchy. Within a week I had the most awful symptoms of thrush, (or so I suspect) alongside symptoms of a UTI. I got over the counter medication for it.
After that encounter, s
x has been extremely painful to the point I just said not to bother anymore. This was even seven weeks on after my C section. I was also bleeding after intercourse until I got my first period and then after a little bit.
My issue is, after the treatment which was way over six weeks ago I’m still itchy down there and just genuinely don’t feel right. I’ve had a week load of antibiotics from my GP alongside the over the counter medication for thrush but there’s still a persistent ‘itch’. Apart from that there’s no other symptoms. What could this be? It’s driving me insane, I feel so dirty and no matter what I do it won’t go away.

Did the Gp do any swabs prior to giving you antibiotics ?

Are they Doxycycline ?

Why not google a local GUM clinic and pop along for a full screen , ask him to do the same then you can both be tested and counselled for all , with specific treatment targeted to any positives

Most things are treatable but yes undiagnosed and untreated STI's can lead to long term damage , affect fertility and increase risk of cancerous cells so always better to know

It could also be a non STI issue and you are just a bit sensitive to his sperm so I'd consider condoms till I'd done all of the above

Good luck !

It could be bacterial vaginosis, but since you guys split up for a while you may think he's been exposed to sti and then exposed you. I'd just go and get checked out if it was me
