I've had about four yeast infections in the past six months. I'm on the NuvaRing, and my gyno. explained to me that when the ring is close to opening on the vagina, it could throw off my pH balance. so I started to make sure my ring was placed in my vagina the deepest I could get it after every shower to prevent another yeast infection... I recently had a sore throat, and went to an Urgent care. they gave me steroids and antibiotics to clear it up. a couple days later I felt another yeast infection going on. I figured it was from the antibiotics they gave me, and stopped taking them. I replaced my ring again, and thought everything would be fine. the next day, I felt a burn down there. It felt like a cut or a tear, because I've had them before. I ignored it, because the last time I had a tear or cut my gyno. told me to let it heal on its own. I thought I was taking care of it, but the burning got worse and worse. it started to hurt when I walk, sat down, even lay down. I finally just grabbed a mirror and snapped a pic down there to see what the hell was going on. I seen discharge and more than just one cut. and bunch of little cuts. open flesh wounds I should say. I went to a dr. and she said it was just a yeast infection. she gave me two pills to take. (I don't remember the name) take one for day one and take the other after 72 hours. the day after taking that first pill the pain just got worse. my sores looked like they were healing slowly, but the pain was soooo unbearable I had to go to the hospital to see if I could get something to heal it quicker. that dr. checked me out, and he said that I do have a yeast infection, but I also have genital herpes....... when he said that, I got so confused. I literately cried for about 20mins. it didn't make sense to me because me and my boyfriend have been together for almost 3 years. he went and got checked, and he doesn't have herpes. i don't understand how in the hell I have herpes, which IS an std, and my boyfriend who has been my only partner ever obviously didn't give it to me because he doesn't have it either!!!! he has no trace of herpes in his body. they're making me take 5 big pills a day for 7 days (I think the medication starts with a 'z'). I'm just in complete shock because my boyfriend doesn't have it, but I do. either I'm in denial, or Ive been misdiagnosed. somebody please help me. I just do not understand how I got this virus. I don't get it at all. I go to see my gyno in a few days. now if she says I have herpes, then I'll believe it. has this happened to anyone else?!
