MY YEAST INFECTION HORROR STORY (***TMI WARNING***)

Hello everyone!

I want to post this story because when this happened to me, I felt alone and grossed out by my own body. No one should feel like that! This is going to be long, so without further ado here is the story of my very first yeast infection and how it got completely out of hand.

Rewind to June. I had just separated from my ex-husband at the end of May and was exploring my newfound single status (and depression) by having three new sexual partners. I’m not saying it was the right thing to do, but it happened. I had unprotected sex with all of them on multiple occasions.

Well, at the end of June I went to urgent care because I had had a persistent minor sore throat for about five days with no other symptoms. Upon inspecting my throat, I saw white sores/spots on my tonsils which I had never experienced before.

The doctor came in and asked the typical questions, including those involving my recent sexual history. I was honest with him, and after hearing my story and inspecting my throat he decided that I must have and STI in my throat. He treated me for gonorrhea and chlamydia.

Shortly after receiving the treatments I felt and odd sensation... “down there”. I could only compare it to the feeling of cold medicine coursing through your veins from an IV, as if something had just affected my lady area. It immediately began to itch and become irritated. Now, I assumed this was due to whatever STI the doctor was assuming I had and that I just so happened to start feeling symptoms after leaving the doctor’s office.

So now obviously I’m freaking out. But the doctor had just treated me so I decided to wait for the results and see if things got better.

So finally I get a call a couple days later that I’m clean of all the STIs they tested me for (the ones they thought I had and more). So now I’m like cool, the itching hasn’t gotten worse but also not better so I’m gunna keep waiting.

WELL, a couple days later I wake up, and HOT DAMN I AM UNCOMFORTABLY ITCHY!!!! I decide to take a look downstairs and see what’s up with ya girl.

Well.

Well.

Well.

This is where is gets super disgusting.

I saw some white at the opening of my hoo-ha. Um... WHAT THE FUCK?

Let’s spread these lips and see what’s up.... **INTERNALLY FREAKING OUT ALREADY**

There’s something in there. A white substance. I bear down a little to see if this substance will come forth. And then it happens.............

Approximately and entire heaping handful of yeast comes out of me. And not like, a moderate handful, like A FUCKING HEAPING HANDFUL.

I start to cry. I am horrified. The only thing I can think is “WHO SHOVED CHEWED UP BITS OF PRINTER PAPER INSIDE ME?!?!”. It didn’t smell luckily so, yay, I guess?

I immediately get in my car and go to the ER. I tell my story to the receptionist and then again to the OB/GYN only after using the restroom and disposing another handful of yeast. The doctor is SO NICE!!! She listens to my story and makes me feel like I’m not a whore. She tells me she thinks it’s just a yeast infection from the aggressive medication they gave me to treat the suspected STIs. It killed all my good bacteria too. She examines me..... YUP, JUST A YEAST INFECTION! But let’s run a lab just to be sure.

Yeah, it’s just a yeast infection. Oh and the sore throat had already gone away. It was just a virus.

JUST 👏 A 👏 VIRUS 👏

So yeah, I always use protection now. And also, I will never go back to that urgent care doctor. 😂😂😂
