mycoplasma struggles
I tested positive for Mycoplasma genitalium recently and I’m really anxious that it didn’t go away. I’ve been celibate since January.
Initially I was prescribed doxycycline, but after taking one dose I got violently sick and threw up, so my doctor switched me to azithromycin once a day for 4 days. I finished the treatment weeks ago, but I still feel like I’m having symptoms.
My symptoms tend to flare after my period. My period just ended yesterday and now I’m having thick clumpy discharge, itching, and irritation again. Last month I actually tested negative for yeast, which is why I’m confused.
I’ve read a lot about azithromycin resistance with Mycoplasma and now I’m spiraling thinking the treatment failed. I’m getting retested Friday, but I wanted to know if anyone else had lingering symptoms after treatment or experienced post-period flares even after antibiotics.
