Asking for advice on how to advocate for yourself
Hello,
I'm 21F who has been struggling with what seems to be ureaplasma or mycoplasma hominis for more than 3 months (end of March). I have been to the ER, 2 gynos, my GP, and now being sent to a dermatologist for my symptoms. I had countless tests done except these two because doctors refuse to test me saying it's not something that causes symptoms or make you sick (French guidelines).
I am struggling with bloating (my 1st symptom), urgency to pee (that turned into just bladder pain and bloat), itching on the vulva sometimes around the urethra more (after peeing), yellow discharge, lower back pain, abdominal pain (it's not only the reproductive area anymore but also up), my skin is really damaged down there, always red and burns sometimes.
The smell isn't bad but it's off.
All in all I have had periods when it felt better and worse but it's never been this bad.
Has anyone gotten treatment in France and where ?
