What's happening to me???!
Question:
What's happening to me???
I gave birth to my son four weeks ago and for a week after the delivery i was fine, only the stitches from the episiotomy hurt. A week later i started getting symptoms of Cystitis so i went to the doctor and he gave me a 3 day course of anitbiotics. After i had finished the course i felt that they hadn't worked very well as i was still having pain around the opening of my bladder, it feels like a bruise would. I went back to the doctor and he gave me a five day course of anitibiotics, i took these and the pain seemed to subside a lot more. But then i had thrush so i took a cream treatment for that and now the pain is back. I really dont know what to do. I've only ever had one other UTI and that was seven years ago. I don't normally suffer with thrush either. I just feel like i can't go out anywhere or take the baby for a walk because i always have the pain. Its starting to get me down to the point where i can't even enjoy my new baby. Has anyone had this before? How did you solve it?
Answers:
It sounds like you need to find a new doctor, or perhaps a gynecologist. All your present MD is doing is treating symptoms by giving you antibiotics. They aren't cure-alls, and they obviously aren't working for you. So find out what's really going on and that will be your first step towards recovery.
