After quite a period on antibiotics & peri

Hi,

I finished the entire course of antibiotics yesterday evening after nearly 4 weeks treatment (three types) it totally feels like I’ve had the next decades load of antibiotics in one go and I’m not so keen to get anymore.

I don’t have burning or stinging urine but some other symptoms such as the clitorus feeling a bit exposed/live, down there deep pink and when I’ve just had a very welcome shower skin was peeling when I wiped down there. But otherwise ok. I got some thrush cream, as it stands at the mo I’m housebound.

I’m also off HRT and get about 5 hours a night since home from hospital but something now dawns on me if sleep loss is genuinely a peri sign?
I have some nytol caramel syrup on its way which I was going to try short term.

I felt I was going to have a period at start of the week but nothing showed and is now late or starting the 12 months absence (which absolutely would be the best thing) or just missing a month due to the stress of everything recently.

A male district nurse looked at wound on the leg/foot before redressing earlier today and said that was going in the right direction but couldn’t help understandably with the ladies issue.

Just had another thought after my fibroid is no longer giving me grief, there a professional who felt strongly it would just shrink in menopause, wonder if it can do this just before you enter meno.
