Staph??

Staph??

This is in my genital area kinda on my butt. I had a bump that was only visible under my skin on close to the same spot on the other side but doesn't look like this. I could only feel it not see it. This bump pictured looks worse now because I tried to pop it. When I did it, it looked like a pimple ready to be popped, but only a little bit of greenish pus came out. The rest stayed in and now it looks a little bit worse.

Does this look normal

i have gotten my test of cure, it's been over a month and a half since i finished treatment. however, this happened last cycle too and also when i caught ureaplasma. i feel weird after my cycle. when i was diagnosed it was obviously much more aggressive and not mistakable. now i just have a kinda weird feeling? does this discharge look normal? i'm a day or two off of my cycle. i also have been taking happy v probiotics and dmannose. discharge doesn't have an off smell i don't think but it doesn't feel normal? is it just residual from my period? i see my long distance bf this weekend so this is really stressing me out.

4 weeks post treatment and confused

i'm tired of feeling like it's just in my head when i don't think it is anymore. i finished my antibiotics about 4 weeks ago now. doctor only gave me 7 days doxy even tho i requested more. told me to stay off the internet and that's the treatment. even tho the internet is what made me have them test me for ureaplasma in the first place. anyways, i do feel so much better than when i was very symptomatic, but ive felt off here and there and today im really over it. my urine is foamy and has specks in it. i haven't drank the most water today as i've been working all day but have had some. i've also had some weird sensations in my vagina? when i masturbate sometimes it burns/tingles a little but only internally. it's not like discharge coming out and it burns externally. i feel fine externally. i also just sometimes have the feeling that something is off when im moving around for a long period of time like at work. i also have noticed i don't hold my urine as well. if i have to pee i have to go and it's hard for me to hold it if i'm busy. i've leaked a couple times trying to get to the bathroom. i work in sales and do a lot of walking. sometimes by the end of the day i just have an odd feeling? no smell, no "abnormal" discharge but i do have a lot of discharge in my underwear by the end of the day but i think it looks and smells normal. just more than what im used to. i don't remember what my baseline is. i know my urine does not look normal but does my vagina? this is making me feel so shitty about myself. i caught my ureaplasma early (about a week or two at most after contracting) so i was optimistic the doxy would work. maybe it did and this is something else because this does not feel like ureaplasma (at its worst). i dont know what to do from here.

Is this normal discharge for a day?

i'm about a week and a half post antibiotics. i have no symptoms and feel so much better, but i can't remember my normal discharge. this feels like a lot? i can often see it coming out of my vagina if i check. my pH test looks normal. i've been taking a women's probiotic. the discharge has little to no smell at all. when i was symptomatic my discharge had a not fishy but very distinct bad smell up close. was much more opaque and a different texture. this is kinda like egg white when i actually put it on my finger but thicker and doesn't stretch much. am i being paranoid? do i just need to wait this out or should i be concerned about other infections or ureaplasma not being gone. or is this normal discharge?? ureaplasma messed my cycle up so im not even sure exactly where im supposed to be, even though i caught it relatively early at around 2 weeks post contraction.

Trying to quit smoking, I feel so weak.

this may be a little bit of an emotional dump, forewarning.

i (20F) have been smoking weed since my sophomore year of high school. mostly with my boyfriend at the time. our relationship was extremely toxic, and sometimes violent, but i was young and in love. i didn't know any better. it caused me a lot of trauma simply being in the relationship. then my senior year (2023) he took his own life after a phone call with me. we were together the entire time i was in high school. i've been smoking heavily, daily, every single day since. it's how i got through it. it made me feel close to him and made the pain just bearable enough to not do the same.

i am now trying to quit in hopes of applying for my EMT certification. i have realized how much i truly depend on it. i would spend my last on weed and if i didn't have the money i WOULD find a way. i feel so tired all the time but i cannot sleep. i've been up until 8am the past two nights. i sweat at night and feel hot and cold at the same time? i am so hungry but i cannot eat. i've been force feeding myself soup. i feel so sad and irritable, constantly. so sad. and little things like my computer not loading fast enough have SERIOSULY pissed me off. i've noticed i've been arguing unnecessarily with my new SO. he knows im quitting, he knows how heavy of a smoker i was, he knows about my late boyfriend, he doesn't know it's all connected and im nervous to explain/don't even know if i should.

is this going to get better??? when is this going to get better?? is there anything i can do during this process to help keep myself sane?? i feel as if im losing my mind. im trying so hard not to just say fuck it. thank you in advance to anyone who reads or responds

i've finished my antibiotics and feel SO much better. my discharge changed a lot with ureaplasma, it went from clear, to green, to yellow, to gray. after all of the weird and HORRIFYING changes it became a consistent milky white that i could see almost coating the inside of my vagina and coming out. the smell was never fishy but VERY strong when doing smell checks. kind of a chemical smell but very flat.

i have forgotten what my discharge is supposed to look and smell like. does this seem normal? i can still see whitish discharge coating the inside of my vagina sometimes but it's a lot less opaque and purulent in consistency than earlier. it doesn't itch and has a very faint smell that i think is normal (but i forgot what normalcy truly is so im confused) on my finger but none when i get close to my vagina. it doesn't itch or burn.

i tested positive for ureaplasma a couple days ago after unprotected sex 2 weeks ago with a new person. he was just a hookup, we had sex twice. i'm trying to understand ureaplasma and from what i've gathered it's not classified as an sti but is sexually transmitted, so do i need to tell him to go get tested since im assuming that's where i got this from? if yes, i am a little hesitant because i have a really strong feeling he's going to get upset and turn all of the blame onto me. or he's going to ignore me and not go get tested at all.

i had unprotected sex about 2 weeks ago now. immediately i had symptoms of a yeast infection so i went to urgent care and tested positive for yeast. negative for a uti but i had a high white blood cell count in my urine. i finished the meds and was fine (so i thought) until my period came two weeks early accompanied by itching and burning on day 3. as soon as i stopped bleeding i started getting all types of horrible weird discharge. i went and got tested again for mycoplasma and ureaplasma and it's ureaplasma.

the partner i'm referring to in the title is not who i got this from. 3 days after this hookup me and my best friend drunkenly told each other we have feelings for each other and this is something that's been building for the past year. we're preparing to do long distance. we leave each other in a week. i've been holding off on sex, i told him about the uti and my period. now i have to tell him about this and i'm so scared. i said he was my best friend first so he already knows about this hookup. but i'm nervous he won't want to talk to me anymore or he'll be upset we won't be able to have sex before we leave each other. just to note he hasn't gotten upset or anything. he's told me it's okay and we're okay. but i am still scared because this is different territory now. i don't know if this sounds stupid. any advice is appreciated.

you can look at my page to see what's going on. i suspected bv but the test was negative. but urgent care said 60% of the time they're wrong so they're sending it to labcorp along with mycoplasma and ureaplasma. however i have some abnormal urine results but not sure exactly what it means?

i know i just posted recently and im going to urgent care first thing in the morning but i have so much anxiety and im so uncomfortable. the discharge went from clear to greenish to yellowish? and i cant tell if its all coming from my vagina or my urethra too. i don't know how to describe the feeling, it somewhat burns but i can't sit or walk comfortably. i'm constantly fighting back tears. please someone provide me with insight. i have more information in my other posts if you would please take a look at my profile.

so about two weeks ago i had unprotected sex. i had a sore throat/difficulty swallowing but it went away on its own. then i started having symptoms of a yeast infection. went to urgent care and tested positive for yeast and also a uti even though i wasn't really having symptoms. i took a diflucan and started antibiotics same day (macrobid). i was given another diflucan for after finishing then because i usually get yeast after antibiotics. well directly after finishing the antibiotics i started my period two weeks early. i didnt think much of it until i started having some internal itching/burning on about day 3 of my cycle. i took the other diflucan and just finished my cycle and now im having greenish and what looks like clear watery discharge and the itching and burning is much morse. i uploaded pictures to a different sub on my page. it's also slightly uncomfortable to pee and my urethra feels off. the discharge itself doesn't smell fishy when i put it on my finger but smells and feels like pus, like what comes out of a pimple. but from a distance when i open and close my legs i get a fishy smell and also around my vulva. i'm going to go back to urgent care in the morning but this is seriously taking a toll on me. i know they don't test for mycoplasma and im having a hard time finding someone who will because im out of state at college. and if its bv im going to be given more antibiotics which will lead to another yeast infection. my birthday is in 2 weeks and also leaving my long distance partner so im really disappointed and just want to get this figured out as soon as i can.

a couple weeks ago i had a bad yeast infection and also a uti. i took a diflucan and started the antibiotics for the uti the same day. i was given another diflucan for after the antibiotics just in case because i usually do get yeast infections. however once i finished the medicine i got my period almost 2 weeks early. during my period i started to feel slightly itchy but i didnt know if i was imagining it. my period just finished up and im definitely not. there is greenish and clear watery discharge coming out of me. when i smell it off my finger its not fishy but a pus-like smell and consistency. but i have a slightly fishy smell from a distance? it itches and burns slightly. i'm so uncomfortable. i'm supposed to be going to the beach for my birthday this weekend and i just want these issues to stop. chlamidiya, gonnorhea, and trich i've all tested negative for.
