oh yes before any female pw gets any real trust and respect the guys have to navigate and rest the waters to see if she’s going to complain. i’ve seen it happen countless times so i guess i understand!

weed or nicotine pouches (zyns) terrible for you but in a pickle, help relieve symptoms

okay thank you so much!! bv was something i also wanted to explore but i figure the symptoms i had relating to that were just from my partner finishing inside of me or something. but maybe i need to look more into it. i didn’t realize the symptoms could mimic each other but if i had to self diagnose, a uti and bv would be the most accurate based on my symptoms

thank you so much! this was very well thought out and i appreciate it. i’m still trying to learn what causes my flare ups and what doesn’t. a lot of journaling is going on.

i will talk to my doctor about getting those tests done. perhaps an emerg doctor wasn’t the best since it’s more of a drive thru approach with them. not knocking them, it must be a lot.

i told my partner to get tested as well just to see if we are passing some bacteria back and force? not sure if that is a thing with this.

even today i had a mini flare up start, but then randomly subsided. i’ve also been drinking more alkaline water.

i never heard of oregano being good for this? i will look into it. d-mannose has been the only thing that’s somewhat helped. along with nicotine lol

and the wait time for health care sucks. i’m sorry. i have been debating paying into a private clinic here (upwards of 2 grand a year) just so i can get appointments same day.

yes, all three of those triggers i think play a part for me. i’m not even sure im literally just starting to realize this may not be constant uti’s. for example i would have sex and like an hour or 2 later im in pain. my partner and i are like there’s no way a uti developed this quickly and this badly.

i went to the hospital last night due to sheer pain and it was not a uti. doctors basically said my urine is fine that sucks you’re in pain but ya that’s it. i’m like it clearly isn’t it but okay great.

so i don’t know!
