Vaginal Itching, Treated With Intravene Antibiotics, On IUD. Itching Not Gone. Pelvic Pain Now. What Could It Be ?

Hi I have vaginal itiching from about past 5 months. A bacterial infection was found & I was treated with intravene antibiotics for about a week 2 months ago because the oral antibiotic tablets were not helping. I had an IUD inserted for two years & doctors believed that IUD might have caused infection as I was experiencing pelvic pain . But the itching has never gone & its on the ctitoral glans & surrounding area. Please advice what could it be?? Thanks

Hi tanpreet.

Firstly, please do get an abdominal & /or a transvaginal scan done at a good centre near you.

I am not privvy to your marital or sexual history. If there is any promiscuity or any cause for concern, please get a battery of STD tests done.

Yes, it does appear that you ail from some sort of PID (pelvic inflammatory disease) & that there is a 'mixed infection' that is ailing you.

Again, it is not clear whether the IUCD has been/was removed or is it still there or was it changed?

A high vaginal swab is also in order as is a PAP smear depending on your age & pregnancy/ children status which again i am not privvy to.

Do hope this serves as a pointer to guide you in the right direction.
Wish you continued good health & do hope this infection clears up soon & happy days are here again :)
Regds & Godspeed!
