Diagnosed With BV And Taking Flagyl. Experiencing Frequent Urination And Abdominal Inflammation. Suggestions?
Question: I was diagnosed with BV and had been taking flagyl to treat symptons. I stayed away from alcohol during the duration of the medication. I usually experience frequent urination & being on the treatment, I was extremely relieved when sudden & frequent pee breaks stopped just after a few days on the pill. I was on my last dosage of the night when a friend came by and brought weed to smoke. I felt it was a bad idea but inhaled just one puff. I have low tolerance anyway so I chose not to continue to smoke. But since last night, I again am feeling the discomfort of frequent urination & abdominal inflammation just above my pubic mound. It feels quite tender in that region & the sensation of peeing a lot returned immediately. Did I lesson the effects of flagyl treatment by smoking pot last night? I was feeling great & now feel horrid and annoyed again. Is there a connection? I am currently being treated for BV, yeast infection (have to take diflucan), and UTI (sufamethoxazole). But I only finished the BV treatment & have not taken the other 2 yet.

Detailed Answer:
It sounds like you have a bladder infection. To my knowledge, smoking marijuana will not lessen the effect of the metronidazole. Your symtpoms, though, are most consistent wit an infection of the bladder, and you need to start this treatement as soon as possible as directed by your doctor!
I hope that this helps and good luck!
