So in March I was diagnosed with Trich. Got a course of antibiotics
Had my baby march aswell.
got retested in May ( tried to retest in April but couldn’t due to stitches) Still got Trich. Got another course of the same antibiotics…. between the last two does I threw up/was sick but finished the course.
Got retested end of May/beginning of June…. Still got trich…. Got the antibiotic in a vaginal gel, instead of oral tablets…. The senior doctor of the clinic said since it’s so soon after me giving birth and that i threw up he would have given tinidazole but refused because it’s a nasty course of antibiotics…
Retested yesterday and guess what … I still have trich!!! I asked for tinidazole but again…. senior doctor said that the gel isn’t actually recommended so that was a mistake and just given the same course of antibiotics…. if i’m still positive in 2 weeks time they’ll just give the same course of antibiotics but a higher dose? and only if that doesn’t work then tinidazole or get some specialist treatment from the nearest hospital…
Im fed up I don’t believe the antibiotics is going to work 3rd time round, we’ll 4th really and despite being told that trich doesn’t really cause problems it’s just a nuisance i’m worried about my fertility and health now.
I don’t mind going private ti get stronger antibiotics? is that worth a try????
Any doctors/nurse or healthcare professionals know what i can do in the meantime? and how my fertility be impacted? yes i will take the medication but i’m fed up now. i feel like the clinic is also too fully booked/not enough staff combo going on.. i mean they even told me yesterday in so many words that i’m filling over to the next schedule of walk ins so i’ll have to go soon and my appointment in two weeks time has to be a walk in they can’t even fit me in… i think that’s not helping either
Sorry for the long post I just don’t know what to do…
