First off, I wouldn't be touching anything that's been sitting open for three years. Second, I certainly wouldn't be popping random stuff on my own initiative. 🤷
I don't get why everyone is so terrified of doctors, yet they have no problem shoving whatever random junk into themselves without any supervision. 🤷Is it out of embarrassment? Because there’s nothing to be ashamed of. Doctors have seen and heard everything under the sun.
There we go, problem solved. He’ll go see the doctor; it really isn't a big deal. These kinds of things happen in life, and there's absolutely no reason for him to feel awkward about it. 🙏
Larry Diaz7 said:I found myself in the exact same boat. The only difference was my doctor didn't mention anything about him needing swabs. We both were prescribed Medicated solution and had to take it at the same time; I was also using the vaginal suppositories. Unfortunately, it didn't clear things up for me. Even after we stopped having sex, I went through more tablets and various other suppositories, but despite staying celibate for months now, the issue persists. My Pap smear comes back normal, and while an ultrasound occasionally shows inflammation in my left ovary, it looks fine during the next exam—it’s just a constant cycle. Honestly, even the medication seems to be working against me 🙂🙂
Oh man, I am so sorry to hear that. That sounds like such an incredibly long and exhausting ordeal to carry for so long.
I actually have some Medicated solution tablets sitting here at home; they've been there for about three years now, though the expiration date looks fine. I really want to give them to my boyfriend to see if they help, but I'm having this nagging doubt in the back of my mind—I'm just not sure if they're still effective or if they've somehow gone bad. They're in that standard little bottle with the screw-on cap, and it's been opened once before. Should I go ahead and give them to him or not? I truly feel like they might be the key to solving his problem too.
So, here is the situation I’m currently navigating: about three days ago, my boyfriend and I had some unprotected sex—which is quite out of the ordinary for us since we always use a condom—and now I’m dealing with this thick, yellowish-green discharge that has a pretty unpleasant odor. Interestingly enough, there isn't any itching or redness or anything like that. It seems quite obvious that this was passed to me from him. My gynecologist prescribed a ten-day course of Medicated solution vaginal suppositories for me, but for my boyfriend, he simply suggested he go get urethral swabs done rather than prescribing any actual treatment. I can't help but wonder, shouldn't he have been given something too, perhaps some Medicated solution tablets? I’m honestly feeling a bit stuck on how to convince him to actually follow through with the swabs, especially when I feel like the Medicated solution might be what he really needs. In situations like this, have your partners ever been put on a specific treatment plan? Thanks so much.
