Hello everyone, I know this will be a bit of a longer post, but I would really appreciate it if anyone has had a similar experience or any advice.

For a long time now, I’ve been having a problem where I get a vaginal infection, specifically candida, after almost every sexual intercourse. I’ve had a Pap test, ultrasound, and other gynecological examinations, everything is normal. The only thing that showed up on tests a few months ago was candida.

Since birth, I had a hymenal septum and I thought that might have been the issue because bacteria could have been getting trapped. After the surgery, I was symptom-free for about three months, but then the problem returned again.

I am currently taking some probiotics for which I read thousands of reviews saying they helped many women, but unfortunately, I haven’t noticed any improvement. I have tried many vaginal and oral treatments, but nothing has provided a lasting solution.

The only thing I haven’t done yet is a blood test 😬 because I have a severe fear of blood draws due to childhood trauma. However, I’ve started wondering whether high blood sugar or diabetes could be involved and whether regulating it could help with recurrent candida.

This issue seriously affects my quality of life, I’ve already ended up in the emergency room three times because of the pain, and it also makes it difficult to maintain a normal romantic relationship with my boyfriend and everyday functioning.

If anyone has had a similar experience or knows what might help, I would be very grateful for any advice. Thank you.

Pozdrav svima, malo je duži post, ali stvarno bih bila zahvalna ako netko ima slično iskustvo ili bilo kakav savjet. Već dugo imam problem s tim da nakon gotovo svakog odnosa dobijem vaginalnu infekciju, odnosno kandidu. Napravila sam papa test, ultrazvuk i ostale pretrage, sve je uredno. Jedino što se prije nekoliko mjeseci pokazalo na panelima bila je kandida. Od rođenja sam imala septum himen i mislila sam da je problem možda u tome jer se bakterije zadržavaju zbog njega, no nakon operacije istog sam bila oko tri mjeseca bez ikakvih problema i onda se sve ponovno vratilo.

Trenutno pijem Carnium hershape i herbiotic jer sam vidjela da su mnogim ženama pomogli, ali kod mene, nažalost, nema promjene. Vagisan, Lomexin, Diflucan, nema šta nisam probala, ali ili pomogne pa se vrati za 2 tjedna, ili uopće nema nikakav utjecaj. Dečko je također koristio terapiju.

Jedina pretraga koju još nisam napravila je krvna slika 😬, jer zbog traume iz djetinjstva imam ogroman strah od vađenja krvi. Ipak, počela sam sumnjati na povišen šećer ili dijabetes pa me zanima je li moguće da je problem povezan s tim i može li se regulacijom šećera riješiti i kandida.

Ovaj problem mi stvarno jako utječe na život, ne samo zbog konstantnih bolova (zbog kojih sam tri puta završila na hitnoj), nego i zato što više ne mogu normalno funkcionirati ni imati normalan ljubavni život i već se glupo osjećam prema dečku koji nije ništa kriv, a ja stalno imam probleme.

Ako je netko imao slično iskustvo ili mu je nešto pomoglo, stvarno bih bila zahvalna da podijeli savjet. Hvala puno.
