Chlamydia from oral or sex more likely?

I'm awaiting test results for STI's as I've had burning pain around my vagina and when I pee as well as slight itching for a week now. I think it was a yeast infection so I took fluconazole and it did nothing. I'm trying to figure out who would have given me Chlamydia if I have it.

Near the end of June I hooked up with a random guy on tinder but his penis never touched me without the condom on. He went down on me for a long time and then we had sex for a long time. Two days later I felt the symptoms of a UTI and took antibiotics (macrobid) and then I felt better.

My ex has been trying to weasel his way back into my life and we started hooking up after that. He swore he hasn't slept with anyone but he could be lying. We always start sex without a condom and end with a condom. We have done this for years and I've never had any pregnancy scares or anything. I feel stupid for trusting him and not using the condom.

Which scenario do you think is more likely to give me Chlamydia? I want to be sure when I accuse him because I know he will deny deny and I don't want to give him the relief that it may have been something that I did because then he will never confess to having sex with someone and honestly I want him out of my life.

Why is no one talking about viral induced gastroparesis as the root cause of SIBO

Me and my friend are in our early 30s and over the past two years we have both had extreme bloating and constipation. She recently had an endoscopy and a colonoscopy done and they said she had gastroparesis and didn't know why she had it.

I was thinking the only thing different that has changed in our lifestyles is having covid multiple times despite being vaccinated. I went the naturopath route and tested positive for hydrogen SIBO. I took rifaximin and some herbal medicines and a bunch of probiotics and I was finally starting to feel a bit better and wasn't bloated every day. I think this had more to do with time passing than anything I was actually taking. Then I got COVID again recently and I was more sick than I've ever been. I have asthma and my inhaler wasn't working for me and ended up going to the ER.

Anyways now I'm back to square one and more bloated than I've been in a long time. There are studies that show viruses can damage the vagus nerve and cause gastroparesis and gastroparesis can cause sibo. So I think that's what's going on here and I wish I knew how to heal it faster.

Edit to add that I know that the vaccine doesn't stop you from getting covid I just thought it would at least help prevent any secondary illnesses or long-term problems such as my gut issues and worsening asthma and one time I developed a sinus infection after getting sick. Didn't take antibiotics for it though. It's just been crap like I used to get sick and be better within 7 days and never have to think of it again.

Does a yeast infection always itch?

I've never had a yeast infection before but I have this slight stinging feeling in my vagina constantly and when I pee. It is very mild though like I could live with it but I don't think I would want to have sex with it like that. I have thick white creamy discharge but it's not really clumpy maybe only a tiny bit sometimes. I'm in my luteal phase. It does not itch at all.

I've had UTIs before and this does not feel the same. Just wondering if anyone has had a yeast infection where the symptoms were kind of mild?

How do the Islanders deal with the awkwardness of knowing that their family has been watching?

I would simply pass away if any of my family saw me making out or doing anything that looks remotely sexual on tv. Also the fact that it's on tv forever and for any future employers to see.

No hate here just genuinely wondering how they manage.

How to break a connection with an ex?

I have tried to break up with my boyfriend at least 5 times now over the last 5 years. He's not a bad person but he's not a good partner to me and doesn't possess the qualities that I need for this to work for the rest of our lives.

​

There is something very familiar about him like we are very similar in a lot of ways. I almost have this feeling that we were siblings in a past life with the way that we bicker.

​

Every time I try to break up with him something horrible happens and I end up needing him or he ends up needing me. It's as if the universe does not want us to part ways.

​

Is there any spell or witchy ritual to help sever whatever external force is bonding us together? I'm trying to figure out how to be completely free of this relationship without something bad happening.

Accelerated skin aging?

I have had SIBO for just over a year now. I'm 30 years old and I have noticed in just one year my skin elasticity has drastically decreased. I have remained around the same weight give or take 10 pounds due to bloating. I now have more wrinkles and my face crumples and folds more when I smile or make any expression. I also have GERD and have been taking PPIs.

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced the same and if they were able to improve their skin?

Did I just get ripped off? IPL Photofacial

I just had a photofacial yesterday which she said should target redness, acne, fine lines, and lighten my freckles. I'm a very pale redhead with lots of freckles on my face although they aren't super dark. The facial took about 15-20 min and it just felt like warmth like the sun shining on your skin. I was expecting it to feel like rubber bands snapping against my face like other people have said. I was barely red after the treatment and none of my freckles have started to turn dark like coffee grounds like other people have said happens. My acne is still there and my face looks exactly the same. My skin didn't even feel the slightest bit irritated after.

Did she just use some crappy laser on me that doesn't even do anything? Is it normal to not notice anything after one treatment?

I live in Canada and I paid $150.
