finished 10 days of doxy and still no better…
hi, im 20 and ive been struggling with what i thought was just chronic yeast infections for a handful of years now.
Back in January, i had gotten diagnosed with chronic yeast infections and was given 6+ months of doses for fluconazole.
earlier this summer, i was having pretty severe abdominal cramps and got my period (getting my period was very unusual since with my IUD and being on spironolactone, i had not previously had one since early 2025). I was very concerned and went to the OBGYN assuming my IUD may have been knocked out of place. Nope. Tested me positive for ureaplasma urealyticum.
I finished the 10 days of doxycycline a little over a month ago and have still had lingering symptoms. I really don’t know what to do to treat this more.
I was also seeing people talk about how this is connected to IBS or something potentially? I’ve had IBS for 5+ years so now I’m starting to feel like ureaplasma might have been the underlying issue in every gyno/gastro issue I’ve experienced.
I’m very sorry for the long post, I’m hoping others may have advice or suggestions pertaining to more testing or treatment plans to bring up to my provider.
