Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi. About 2 years I got chlamydia and trichomonosis at the same time. I was treated for both successfully but ever since then I have been experiencing vaginal dryness. I heard that while the medication cures the infection sometimes it kills too much of the good bacteria and can throw your ph level off balance. Before i contracted these disease i never had a problem with lubrication in any way, shape or form. Recently i found out that i have a yeast infection and I was relieved because i know that a yeast infection, especially when left untreated for too long, can be a cause for vaginal dryness. My doctor prescribed me two doses of Flucanzole a month ago. While my condition has improved im still experiencing some vaginal dryness and slight itching which leads me to believe that the yeast infection might still be present. What should i do? i just want my old vagina back
