I tested positive in June. Have tested negative 4 times since then. Both me and my partner were treated. We waited a month. No symptoms. I felt great. Then we had sex and it flared up again.

8 antibiotics, 3 doctors, no sex, white cotton underware, only water down there, scentless detergent, no tight clothing, daily pelvic floor exercises and still i have pain. Still have the urgency to pee, still have slow urination.

For my people in relationships with lingering symptoms, what does sex look like for you? Im seeing people on here that say they've been dealing with it for months, years, ect. Honestly, are yall still having sex? Are yall just dealing with the flare ups afterwards? How is this affecting ur sex life as well as ur relationship?

So, I recently posted on my on going struggles with ureaplasma since June. On and off about 7 or 8 med. 3 different doctors and still no change.

I just seen a Vulva specialist, she did a pap smear which is something my previous doctor's had not tried. First time where im hoping something negative pops up so at least we know what to treat. Is that wrong?

She basically said, if my pap smear turns up normal im just gonna have to tough it out for the next 4 months to see if my vaginal self regulates itself. This is unbelievably frustrating. I just want answers.

She thinks, because I did two douches back to back in June before I tested positive that I may have disrupted my vaginal balance. I have tested negative since August but still in pain and the one time I did have sex after a month of no symptoms, I had an extreme reaction.

I just see no hope at this point...
