I got the Skyla IUD put in almost a month ago, and had sex a few days after. A few days after that, I experienced flu-like symptoms plus a lot of clear discharge, which is a warning sign that your body is not responding well to the IUD, so I went to the doctor the next week (flu symptoms had subsided) and he told me I had a really bad yeast infection and gave me Diflucan since my fever had gone down. I took it, and I had no symptoms once the tx was done. I had sex that night, and it was fairly painful and when I looked the next morning, I had a big bump that looked like a pimple, and another small one on the left side of my labia. I also noticed some yelloe-greenish discharge, so I promptly went to the doctor. He did a wet mount and told me I had some red spots on my cervix and that was indicative of herpes and I also had BV. I immediately freaked out and he sent me home with some Metronizadole and Nystatin & triamcinalol for the outer swelling and inflammation. He sent several samples to the lab for herpes, gonorrhea and chlamydia so now I'm waiting until tomorrow but since then, the swelling has gone down alot and I'm finished with the meds for the BV but a few days ago, I saw there were a few red spots and two long sores on both insides of vaginal lips. My body is extremely sensitive to alot of things, so to me this looked like an allergic reaction my body had to something before, and looks nothing like the pictures I've seen online. Maybe I'm in denial, but I've posted some pics so you guys could see what I see. There isn't any discharge minus from the cream I'm still using
Did he swab that sire that's on your labia in the pic?
There's no telling him w out tests. It presents differently in everyone and pics online are worst case scenario. Mine didn't look like that either. I've seen a girl on here who looked so bad, I thought she had to be in horrendous pain and she wasn't at all . barely any pain. It's just so different in everyone. Recently a female found out she had herpes after an exam, because she had herpes lesions on her cervix, but no where else.
I explain it to people like this. Our immune system is as unique as our thumb prints, so therefore it handles the virus just as uniquely in each individual. No two cases are exactly alike.
I highly recommend your partner go get a blood test type specific IgG Elissa done as well.
what is it? i have similar sores...
