Hi there,
Basically flagystatin is made up of two medications-metronidazole(which is an antibiotic) and nystatin which is used for infections(such as thrush).
Flagystatin is used when there are both bacterial and fungal infections present-the antibiotic is often used for the STI trichomonas vaginalis.
You must tell your boyfriend as you will be re-infecting yourself everytime you have sex with him if you do not both get treatment(that is probably why you have used it three times?) If this is not the case you need to go back to your Dr for alternative medication! Also ask your Dr for a diagnosis you deserve to be informed of what and why you are taking something!
If you need anymore info message me!
Get to a different/better doctor immediately. I know you're scared, but it is best if you find out an exact diagnosis ASAP. Proper treatment for the condition can then begin. And yes, I think you should tell your boyfriend...he probably needs to go to the doctor too. Some things get passed back and forth, until both parties are treated. Just need to get proper diagnosis.
so... looks like you ahve a bacterial infection.
2 suggestions:
#1- If you're going on a date... do not let ur boyfriend near you until you know exactly what's up with u. Just tell him you're not feeling good, you're not in the mood, or that its that time of the month.
#2- Do not say anything to your boyfriend until you have a straight answer from your doctor. You have to tell him what's up, but you don't want to freak him out before you know the facts. So call your doctor and just tell him about the situation with your boyfriend. Just make sure to ask him not to share anything you talk about with ur parents.
Don't avoid talking with him or your boyfriend because you are embarassed or uncomfortable. If you have somethign that could spread, do not let foolish stuff like being too embarassed get in the way of finding out and telling the truth.
Good luck... it doesn't sound like anything serious, but you just need to know.
Flagystatin is for the treatment of bacterial infections and fungi, not STD's. It is possible, but unlikely you got it from your boyfriend. Sometimes, these things just happen. Wash your hands more often. Make sure your boyfriend washes his hands before he touches you down there.
Wait until the infection is passed before resuming sexual activity. The doctor took tests to find out what KIND of bacteria it is. You will probably get antibiotics. Call your doctor and tell him that the flagystatin is not working.
I'd say talk to your mom about it, but unless she doesn't know what you and your boyfriend do, then I suggest going to your doctor and being like "look i don't know what's wrong with me, and the stuff you gave me doesn't work." Or you could look around where you live for a free clinic. Those places are usually pretty good and they are pretty private so you don't need to worry about having your information leaked out. Good luck! And I definitely think you should tell your boyfriend, he might know some things, and will be able to help you cope with it.
its to treat a bacterial infection.
if you're anything like most teenage girls, you were alot of lacy underwear, pantyhose and tight fitting pants/jeans.
try to stay away from these, as it prevents 'breathing' down there.
dont go to the same doctor, it sounds like he's treating you like a dumb teenager. go to another doctor, and get them to explain what is actually wrong, step by step and get some advice on what you can do to a) help fix it, b) help prevent it and c) disguise it (if its causing you worries about the smell)
at the end of the day, dont stress, its most likely something similar to a yeast infection. make sure you always have protected safe sex and avoid sex until it has passed (it may be contageous but more than likely it will just be uncomfortable)
drink plenty of water and wash properly using a soap free wash (from your pharmacy, one that's PH balanced)
good luck
and stress less
Get your self back to the doctor. As far as telling him? Your BF. Hell yes you tell him. He has it too. And many of these sd's do not show up in men.
17 years old and getting an SD... How does mom feel about this? Dad? Are they as ignorant as you are? And you have no business going on a "Date" and spreading it around some more.
Some of these sd's are almost impossible to treat. you mention them like they are nothing. Chlamydia has all but wiped out the koala bears of Australia. You may end up never being able to have children. EVER! Wise up little girl. And get back to the doctor.
Cutie 101? There is nothing "Cute" about this. It is funny how many times I see, "I am only 17." Like this should give you a pass. It doesn't!. Act like an adult. You seem to think you are one.
you need to learn to assert yourself with your doctor, I would never leave the office until I got an answer as to what he suspected was going on, why he ordered the medication he did, and what I could expect to see in the way of side effects and how long it would take to get better.
as for going out, suggest you cancel until you know for a fact what you have, do NOT have sex until you know what you have...and if you suspect you got it from your current boyfriend, kiddo it's time to find another boyfriend, one that gives you a disease isn't worth keeping.
In the meantime, if the med he gave you isn't working, you need to call his office and demand he see you, NOW, to deal with the issue once and for all.
You should probably keep on taking the medicine for at least 7 days and then judge the results. I had an infection once and I didn't notice any progress till day 5 which sucked!!
You need to call your physician and ask him these questions, especially if you don't know your diagnosis. If Flagystatin hasn't worked on you in the past, you'll need a different prescription. Misusing antibiotics can actually make your infection worse.
