Can a diagnosis be wrong???

[JT2528]

I went to the doctor thought I had a yeast infection but, the doctor says it may be Chlamydia or an infection passed on to me by my partner.  She says it is easily cured by an antibiotic and common in young couples and recommend that my partner get tested as well.  He got tested after we discussed this issue but, was given a totally different prescription.  My husband says there is no way he gave me anyting but, he is my only partner.  He has previously had another partner before we got married but, that has been oever 9 years ago. He then gave me a STD then called Trichomonis but, things changed, we got married and started a family.   I want to believe him but, something just is not matching up.  The doctor I went to see is new to me.  She is old and due to the location of her office is the reason I went there for the convenience.  However, her testing practice did seem strange I only gave a blood sample and a uring sample no vaginal swipe like my previous doctor and gynecologist.  I was at the office from 11am until 5pm waiting on the lab test results.  She didn't seem to care much and asked very few questions about my symptoms and relationship. I am questioning the diagnosis she gave me a prescription for metronidazole and fluconazole and monistat-derm cream.  My husband went to a clinic who prescribed him doxycline and ciprofloxacin.  After doing some research these antibiotics treat different types of infections.  I am worried about the cure and also about my husbands story. Will these antibiotic cure us? What is going on here have we been diagnoised wrong?  My husband brought it to my attention that the medications are different?   My husband did not hesitate to go to get checked but, he certain that he has not been with another snce we've married. He gets some results back in 5 days, what could these results reveal.  I got  worried when I got the diagnosis from this new doctor but, became really worried when I found out the medications are different.  Should I go see my gynecologist?  What do you recommend?  I just need to find a peace of mind because this is strange and something just don't seem right.  My husband has brought up many things that seem strange and I agree something is strange.

Please describe your symptoms a bit. Ask your doctor EXACTLY what tests she gave you, the results, and the diagnosis. It sounds like she is treating you for yeast and bacterial vaginosis (or trich).

Here is a plausible story for what happened...

1. Your doctor told you that you may have Chlamydia. Who knows why she said this: (a) it may have been a test result, (b) it may have been her "professional opinion", (c) it may have been her "personal opinion", or (d) you misinterpreted her statement

2. For some reason she is not giving you treatment for Chlamydia.

3. You told your husband that she diagnosed you with Chlamydia.

4. He went to his doctor and told them that you have Chlamydia

5. They prescribed treatment for him for Chlamydia. (If you tell a doctor your partner has it and your are having unprotected sex. They will often just start treatment.)
