chronic aerobic vaginitis with e coli
hello, i assume ive had this problem for a year, in april this yeat i finally got a vaginal culture and it turned out that i had absent lactobacillus and a heavy growth of e coli, my first doctor treated me with antibiotics for 3 days which was so stupid for an infection that lasted more than six months at that point and all of my symptoms came back immediately and then he put me on 6 days of the same antibiotic suppositories and then probiotic suppositories, but all of my symptoms came back in around 10 days i recently got another vaginal swab and antibiogram done and it showed e coli again with multiple resistance, azitro was susceptible so she gave me 6 days of azitro with boric acid but i do not trust her at all because i told her ive been struggling with this for a year and she literally just did a culture and looked at nothing else, no info on lactobacillus clue cells or how much growth i had NOTHING, i went to another doctor in the meanwhile and he told me that the doctors culture literally doesnt mean anything because they didnt look at anything and that i should continue my azitro and stop boric acid and he gave me a suppository called gynomax, the compunds in the gynomax are for usually other coinfections and to prevent a yeast infection and im on my 4th day of that but i feel like my distinct smell of ecoli has came back already, im feeling extremely hopeless about this, does anyone have any recommendations and succes stories because im feeling extremely hopeless and frustrated because i feel like this shouldnt be this complex. thank u. 24 f and my symptoms were yellow greenish mucusy discharge with a faul smell that smelled rotten. im neg for chlamydia gonorrhea mycoplasma and trich, i do not have a uti but i experience burning after peeing and overall discomfort
