Am I the only one with this issue? Vaginal resistant E. coli.

I live in nyc f 24 and broke. So insurance is helping me not pass away from this E. coli uti I got but I’m really over this shit.

Since August, I’ve been dealing with this hell. I had Ureaplasma and two UTIs. One being proteus and it cleared.

E. coli has remained and I’m honestly depressed.

I have aerobic vaginitis with E. coli, my vagina keeps giving me E. coli uti and I keep getting treated with macrobid.

I’m out of options with these doctors. I just tested positive again for E. coli uti and was given macrobid. Again!!!!!!!

Because E. coli inside vagina is normal. Bro, that shit is not my normal. I never had this E. coli uti problem before. My vagina needs suppositories but my E. coli is only sensitive to iv antibiotics. And from what I know, they don’t penetrate well the vagina mucosa so it won’t help. I need vaginal compound suppositories and I noticed my E. coli is sensitive to aminoglycosides. But out of the millions gyn I’ve seen, nobody knows how to even swab for vaginal E. coli.

1st urogyn said to eat lentils and that BV and av is the same. My vagina should push the E. coli out on its own once my lactobacillus goes up.

  • my vagina has been like this since August. It’s not punishing nothing out. I was doing two separate antibiotics and doubling the dose. I’m not having sex and I’m using cotton underwear. Etc. it’s not pushing nothing. I’m in pain and dry asf

2nd urogyn, decided to sell me one of his treatments called forma v, to help with the dryness. Did a catheterized urine swab. Waiting on results but he just said that the dipstick was positive. How? If on the 12/18 I got a urine culture and was “negative”. Today is the 29. I haven’t taken medication. He also said that all my bacteria’s are normal and I should have sex to stimulate the vagina better. He also put “betadine” inside the vaginal to kill any bacteria. When I read the bottle it said “iodine”

Am I suppose to macrobid my life away? wtf is the point of taking macrobid if the vagina keeps giving me it? What would happen once I’m resistant to macrobid? :(

I read of fluomizin and I’m thinking of getting it. I feel that it’s my last resort
