Severe yeast, hpv or herpes????
Recently experiencing new symptom, brown runny discharge, near end of my period. Just treated vaginal/ rectal yeast inf. successfully w OTC med, still slight itching in vagina. Also experiencing 6 small painless pustules on back, neck, chest and arm. Body muscle aches, slight headache almost 3 wks now. Frequent urination for 5 wks (improvement after yeast tx). Slight pain, burn in abdomen or urethra. Creepy crawly itch on body. Only one suspect partner... 1 1/2 yrs ago. No visible lesions on genitals but +swollen glands. Trying to prepare myself for worst. Waiting 1 wk for OB appt. anyone experiencing related symptoms???
Post OB/GYN. He did a culture and diagnosed me for BV, issued 500mg Flagyl for a wk. b/w for hiv waiting on a wk later. he stated that all other physical symptoms were not related and that i got better w self treatment because it was all in my head, that the yeast tx was a placebo. Would not test for hsv w no visible lesions altho he agreed that symptoms can be very mild or asymptomatic. With muscle aches, mild sore throat/ tongue, minor vaginal/ anal pruritis and ache, GERD like symptoms, headaches, sore buttocks and fatigue still persisting and no reasonable explanation, i continued with azo yeast, acidophilus and later continued OTC miconazole with 95% imp. It is just lingering now, still no sores, + few random pimples n pustules on upper body and mid outer thigh beginning w slight itch. He says candida not even considerable unless u have virtually no immune system (cancer or HIV patients). Will I ever get better, What is wrong with me? Do these symptoms have any relation to HSV??
Thank you for your response and concern. Awaiting appt with ob/gyn 2/22. This week papules migrated to my face w some itching and deeper non inflamed papules...ugh! Given my hx and long list of broad symptoms :/ I incorporated acidophilus, yogurt and Azo Yeast into my diet to try ruling out possibility of a systemic yeast infection. Will keep posted. Thank you!

Hello,
Lymph nodes become swollen if there is any active infection going on in the body. You should consult a gynecologist. Diagnosis can be confirmed after pelvic examination and microscopic examination of the vaginal discharge.
