Thyroids & Yeast

I've been having thyroid problems for years, & I've never went back to the doctor to see what it is. Now, my throat is getting swollen & it's starting to hurt a little when I swallow. When you look at my throat you can tell it's swollen. & I keep having reaccuring yeast & bacterial infections. When I have sex with my boyfriend, the smell gets stronger & it's really becoming a problem. I used to have pains in my pelvic area & the dr had told me one of my fallopian tubes were swollen, but gave me medicine to bring down. I can't make regular bowel movements & when I do I'm very constipated. Can someone tell me what's wrong??

what are your latest labs?  the constipation could be a sign that you have low thyroid.  Thyroid is responsible for many many symptoms.  If i listed all of mine here, they would be similar but different than most people.  When is the last time you had a good work up including tsh, free t3, and free t4?

It almost sounds like you have two different things going on at the same time.  Did you see your OB GYN?  it would be really cool to find a female doc that specializes in hormones in your area that would understand everything you are talking about.

Your doctor hopefully can.  Go to a good one and explain what is going on.
