Before you read my concern.. I wasn't sure wiether to put this post in "Urinary Tract Infections" forum.. or here.. I thought it wouldn't matter..
Anywho, I have a couple other posts up for answers... Maybe this will help more..
I have been getting a green discharge about a day after I started taking Apo-Sulfatrim DS 800/160 (prescribed to me on Nov.3, 14 tablets).. the Doc said she's treating it as a "bladder infection".. I'm guessing a ITU b/c she said there was blood in my urine after they tested it.
I have also been taking birth control for about 8 months now..
So.. I started taking my medicine as directed (1 pill, 2x a day).. I started with my first pill on Nov.3, when I got them that day.. I took 1 b/c it was past afternoon. Then the next day I took 1 when I woke up and 1 before I go to sleep. So today is Nov.7. I started this discharge about Nov.5, and it was a faint, light-green color. Till today... was kinda a thick more noticable, light-green color and a bit thick when I wiped after urinating. There was some on my panty-liner as well....
Could this be the medications way of taking the infection out?
Is this normal?
I'm REALLY concerned.. I feel like it might be the medication taking the infection out.. I'm gunna continue taking my pills till they are done and see if I need to re-visit the Doc.
I have no fever, I'm drinking ALOT of water... it also doesn't burn when I urinate... Since I got the infection it hasn't burned at all when I urinate... I do get sharp pains in the bladder area once in awhile during daily things, as well as some dull pains in my right, lower abdomin.
Can a UTI be that way??
ANYWAYS... you may of noticed how concerned I am.. and HOPEFULLY someone will give me some kind of reply to help me some.
Thanx for your time on reading this!
So, Apo-Sulfatrim is an antibiotic, right? I had never heard of it before and when I look for info not a lot shows up, but if you were taking it for a UTI, I assume it is an antibiotic? I do know that some antibiotics can lead to both excessive or unusual vaginal discharge and vaginal itching. Green vaginal discharge is usually associated with infections rather than side effects, but who knows? Perhaps that's exactly what is going on here! Why don't you give your doctor a call and ask whether green discharge is normal/heard of with this medication?
Good luck!
May be you should protect yourself by getting some cervical vaccine.cervix vaccine.and you have to inspect your house hygienicaly. We are prone to infections like these if our envitonment is not that ckean or disinfected. For instance:beds, linens,pillows,carpets..if this are places you most likely to have sex, you need to clean em every week and disinfect.notice that it maybe because of termites or bacteria going inside you whenever you make out.Second is personal hygiene..always take a shower first before having sex. Bacteria s everywhere even from your beau.Also, it may sound like a kill joy but stop doing oral sex. No matter how clean your mouth from brushing em saliva still carries bacteria that stays in yourpartner and be transfered inside your vagina and can cause infection.another is smoking, if you are smoking..stop it.You may also want to change laundry soap and pantyliners.I guess my whole point here is staying clean inside and out.what you intake in your body is what you discharge.stay clean. We have the same issues the past year of my life.And now I could never be healthier and cleaner and confident with my body.
