Hey everyone! I just wanted to come back and post an update in case it helps anyone going through something similar.
A while ago, I shared my experience dealing with lingering pelvic discomfort after a UTI and trichomoniasis. Even though all my tests kept coming back “normal,” I was still feeling a lot of weird, persistent symptoms — clitoral irritation, bladder pressure, burning sensations, that strange “wet” feeling, and everything getting worse during my period. It was so frustrating.
Since then, I’ve done everything — full blood work, urine tests, multiple ultrasounds (transvaginal and abdominal), uroflowmetry, and pelvic floor/vaginal exams to rule out any nerve issues or pelvic floor dysfunction. Every single result was normal.
But finally, I saw a specialist who suggested we test for ureaplasma and mycoplasma — something that isn’t included in routine STI or urine tests. The test came back positive for ureaplasma, and I also had developed a candida infection, likely due to my immune system being a bit weakened after so many treatments and stress.
Getting that diagnosis felt like finally coming back to life. I started the treatment right away, and as of a week ago, I finished it — and I finally feel like myself again. The symptoms have gone away, and I can’t even describe the relief.
So, if you’re still feeling strange discomfort even after “normal” results and treatments, please ask to get tested specifically for ureaplasma and mycoplasma — it made all the difference for me.
Thanks to everyone who reached out or shared their stories. I hope this helps someone feel less alone 💛
