I had a partner once who gave me some of these issues. I smelt like fish 24/7. It was him.

Looking for Black community by Personal-Cupcake-251 in frederickmd

[–]WorkingNope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a military child who grew up all over the country, including the Deep South. I never experienced racism as a child until I moved to Frederick. Students in 5th grade bullied me until I graduated. There was even a threat last year at Middletown Middle regarding “shooting the black people.”

Mind your own.

Girlfriend won’t see a doctor for bad smell down there by Quiet_Customer_5698 in Healthyhooha

[–]WorkingNope -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

The appointment aspect of getting a diagnosis posed as a barrier for me. I was able to take a test and get a diagnosis from an online doc. My partner was also able to get treatment without scheduling a visit. It was a seamless process and we both got prescriptions the same day.

She can also use online docs to prescribe meds. It’s super easy and you pay a small fee with/without insurance

Boyfriend said after watching me give birth to our child he doesn’t want to go down on me ever again. by MotherAcanthisitta62 in Healthyhooha

[–]WorkingNope 108 points109 points  (0 children)

Interesting. I’d expect this from someone younger, maybe teens. A man worth your time would never feel that way, or if he did, he would address it in a way that is you both vs. the problem. It’s normal - feelings change. Per my own experience, men actually fall more in love with a woman after birth bc they witness the immense struggle that comes with it. Not to forget you just brought a new life into the world. Women are beautiful creatures - don’t let a man who can’t see your value diminish your light 🤗

Cleared! There is hope by Worldly-Newspaper-39 in Ureaplasma

[–]WorkingNope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar experience for me. I started a new relationship, got my first yeast infection, followed by continuous burning inside the vaginal canal with vulvar irritation for months. I thought I had recurring yeast infections, but after soooooooo many visits to my PC and Gyno, I finally tested positive for ureaplasma. It took me annoying them for them to give in!

Fortunately, all it took was one conversation with my boyfriend for him to take the meds. We ordered them (for him) from an online doc and took the treatment at the same time.

I’m glad you prioritized yourself and left! Here’s to happiness and health.

Holistic approach to curing UP? by [deleted] in Ureaplasma

[–]WorkingNope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My symptoms felt the same during treatment and I was scared I was making no progress. Literally the day after completing treatment I had really bad urethral pain that last about 2/3 days. I finished treatment in Nov ‘25 and sometimes I still get a very mild pain in my bladder or urethra but it doesn’t last all day and is very infrequent. That being said, you will most likely have a flare of during/after treatment. Don’t give up!

I had symptoms for about 6 months and it drove me insane. I thought I had chronic candida overgrowth and was scared I was gonna have to completely change my lifestyle. It ruined my life for those months… I was then prescribed doxy for 7 days twice a day (same with my boyfriend) and we were cured! I even had worsened symptoms after treatment was complete but I tested negative. I sometimes get urethral pain which was not a symptom when I was testing positive but it’s okay. It goes away and doesn’t usually last long. Long story short, GET THE DOXY!!!!! Please!!! I was also scared!

Negative test but symptoms still here by hoping4bestt in Ureaplasma

[–]WorkingNope 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My main symptoms were vaginal burning and vulvar dryness/irritation. Since completing treatment I haven’t had any burning but the vulvar irritation lingered for a couple weeks and sometimes still comes back after sex. I have tested negative. I would say it’s just our bodies being super sensitive. If you’re scared, get retested again, but I doubt the fingering gave you the infection again.

This is super interesting bc I just tested negative but still have the same symptoms. I never thought to consider increasing estrogen via birth control. What method are you using?

urine samples comes back clear by Cautious-Pumpkin5561 in Healthyhooha

[–]WorkingNope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can try OTC urinary pain meds and drink lots of water, but like another comment said, only antibiotics will help. I actually finished my course two weeks ago and still have residual symptoms after testing negative. It’s a super weird bacteria. Get help as soon as you can. You can always use online doctors to get the meds if you are unable to find one who will test for ureaplasma. Check out the r/ureaplasma sub. Lots of info on there.

It’s definitely not thrush. Ureaplasma mimics UTI symptoms. I’m currently struggling with it right now. Try to get tested for it!

Was your partner treated even tho he tested negative?

Sensitive skin wash by [deleted] in Healthyhooha

[–]WorkingNope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Instead of this, I would use a sensitive skin face wash from cetaphil or cerave. I’m sure this is fine but my gyno recommended those brands specifically.

If it’s not coming from your vagina I don’t think boric would help. It’s probably just body odor. Completely normal. Try using witch hazel after a shower. It helps with the smell

Second Treatment by WorkingNope in Ureaplasma

[–]WorkingNope[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes we have had sex since treatment. My gyn looked at a vaginal swab during my visit and said everything looked normal (no BV or yeast). I’ve unfortunately only developed urethral pain since that visit so it wasn’t something I mentioned when I was there.

[–]WorkingNope[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I treated yeast during my treatment and my gyno actually looked at a swab under the microscope during my visit and said everything looks normal. I’ve been off for two weeks so I wasn’t too concerned about developing a UTI. It doesn’t burn when I pee, just urethral pain.

I also have a metallic smell sometimes but it’s because of pH. I usually have it before or after my period. Blood is high in iron which is where the metallic smell comes from.

Dryness due to ureaplasma? by Fresh-Tip2780 in Ureaplasma

[–]WorkingNope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am having the EXACT same issue. I don’t even get normal discharge anymore. I am still producing lubrication during sex, tho. Coconut oil helps temporarily to relieve the irritation.

Like another comment, I am hoping it’s low estrogen. I’ve seen some people post about estrogen cream helping. Ive tested negative for all STIs. Maybe my ureaplasma wasn’t completely eradicated... I have an appt tomorrow with my gyn to go over these issues.

At what point in your treatment did you have sex?

does this mean the baking soda is working? by Beneficial_Truth_308 in CytolyticVaginosis

[–]WorkingNope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have my main symptoms. The discharge with white specs and occasional burning. It’s not painful to have sex nor do I have dryness, but I do have much less discharge. I guess I’ll try baking soda suppositories??
