Honestly, I’m kicking myself right now for not just heading in on the very first day instead of sitting here torturing myself with all these "what ifs," though I suppose I’ll finally get it sorted this Monday, and surely waiting a couple of days isn't going to change the outcome much... but still, what exactly is Gardnerella, how is it typically treated, and does anyone here have any personal experience with it? I’m about to dive headfirst into a massive Google search...
thanks so much for getting back to me 🙂
Hi everyone, I’m really sorry for starting a new thread here, so please feel free to move this if it doesn't belong—I've been reading through everything, but I just can't seem to find an answer or any kind of comfort, and I am honestly so worried...😢
So, basically... lately I've been living in constant fear that I might have picked up some kind of infection, and honestly, browsing through the forums and searching online is only making my anxiety ten times worse...😢
The thing is, a few weeks ago, I noticed this thick, greenish, translucent discharge, and right before that, I started noticing a really unpleasant odor. Before this happened, I didn't have any major issues, though I did experience some stinging during intercourse when things were being inserted into the vagina, but that would always clear up after a couple of days, so naturally, I just brushed it off -.- That stinging actually started several months ago, back during the summer, I think. This time last year, I was on the pill and everything was perfectly fine, but there was one suspicious encounter... and now I can't stop overthinking it all, I'm just eating myself alive with panic...😢 I have an appointment with my gynecologist this Monday, but I can't go any sooner because of my period. I was wondering if anyone else has dealt with similar symptoms?? I feel like I'm going to lose my mind from all this thinking...
Also, I've been using Canesten cream, and I even had my boyfriend use some just in case, even though I'm starting to doubt if it's actually Candida...🤷
Thanks
