constant cycle of infections
i actually am so unbelievably upset rn i can’t even put it into words
for context, im 18 and this started about a year ago when i first got my cherry popped so to speak. first came the utis. not one, not two but over TEN in a year, so many that i lost count once it got over 10; then to add the cherry on top, im fairly certain i now have bv???
i’ve only ever had one sexual partner and we’re still together, he doesn’t have any stis or stds and we’re always safe, i just must be unlucky for a multitude of reasons (pelvic floor issues due to EDS) , not to mention that i’m a medicaid patient so my healthcare is subpar and often useless. i’ve seen countless urologists and gynourologisgs and JUST when i think i beat it, another uti pokes it’s ugly head back into my life.
the whole point of me making this post is to see if anyone else has experienced this. i’m tired of being told it’s “a phase” because even if it is one i’ve been struggling with it for a year straight and i just want it to end; it genuinely effects my self esteem so badly and i just wanna be like everyone else ☹️
