Suggest Treatment For Chlamydia Infection While On Flagyl

Posted on Fri, 27 Jan 2017

Question: Hi, I recently had a chlamydia infection but thought it was a yeast infection so I self medicated with Monistat. When symptoms didn't go I did a test and then realised i had chlamydia. I was prescriped a one dose medication. I feel better but I now have tiny bumps on my labia minora and symptoms of a yeast infection. I don't know what it is and I have taken Flagyl but still have white discharge that gets dark on my underwear. What could this be?

Brief Answer:
Upload a picture of the tiny bumps

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear and thanks for your query.

I have read your question and I understand your health concern.

Small red bumps in the genital or anal area are the most common symptom of a genital herpes outbreak.

Hence if you feel like, you can please upload a picture of tiny bumps . You can simply upload/attach it at the reports section.

While please also note that the white discharge that turn dark (as you've mentioned) may be due to use of medications such as Flagyl.

Please feel free for further discussion.

Best regards

I just uploaded a picture , I don't if it's herpes because it doesn't hurt. But if it is how can I treat it?

Brief Answer:
Thanks for the pictures, no need to worry, these tiny bumps aren't HSV

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear again!

I have seen the picture you have uploaded and these tiny bumps aren't blisters of HSV.
These tiny blisters are normal mucosa of vagina but due to the yeast infection, they are more prominent, hence don't worry.

During this time you can try with Sitz baths adding povidone- iodine(10ml povidone iodine in one liter of water).

Let me know how you stay later on.

Thank God, I was so worried. I would try the sitz bath. I have also started taking cranberry tablets. Hope there is no problem with using both.
