1 AnswerWomen's Health6 years agoUTI, sore kidneys?
3 weeks ago before coming on holiday I experience what I believed was a UTI. I went to my pharmacy who gave me over the counter medicine to help cure this. This worked until the past week. I am currently on holiday and will be for another week. I am experiencing symptoms of UTI and my kidneys are starting to hurt (only in the evening though). I have bought UTI tablets to reduce symptoms but cannot get to a doctors for another week.
Can anyone suggest anything to help the UTI or my kidneys hurting?
Should I pay out and visit a doctor here in the states? Or am I ok waiting one more week until I am home?

3 AnswersFashion & Accessories7 years agoRight kidney pain and smelly urine?
so a couple of weeks ago I had thrush, the symptoms of this has now gone (this is all during having sores around my anus so I am currently being tested for herpes)... But now today i'm having pains in my right kidney and for a few days now I've been having strong smelling urine. I don't know if this is a result of being put on valtrex for the possible herpes or if it's something else.
I haven't felt myself for weeks now and am starting to become very worried.
1 AnswerWomen's Health7 years agodo I have herpes?
So I had thrush and then started getting blisters around my anus. I treated the thrush (as I was diagnosed by the doctors) but the blisters got worse. I went to see the nurse who told me it looked like I had herpes and sent me to get swabs taken yesterday. They take 10-12 days for results, and have put me on 5 days of valtrex. However my boyfriend has never has any signs of herpes, on the genitals or orally. I have these blisters only around my anus and had anal sex with him for the first time the other week. I have been getting quite a lot of white watery discharge, not itching, the sores hurt when I move but apart from that don't bother me. I have also noticed recently I have been having VERY strong smelling urine, the smell is horrible but not something that I could describe to you. After treating the thrush it stoped hurting when urinating and the sores are starting to heal.
Has anyone had anything like this and it not been herpes??
Could I just have a bacterial infection along with thrush??
Women's Health7 years agodiagnosed with herpes but see no cause?
So I had a yeast infection and started getting really bad blisters around the anus, these have burst and now left raw open skin. Went to see the nurse today who looked at it and said she is almost certain I have herpes. However I have only ever had one sexual partner and we have both had std tests before. He has his drink spiked a while ago so had bloods taken as well which were all fine. I'm so upset but I don't understand how this could have happened.
I have a meeting tomorrow with a specialist to take tests but I'm so upset, feel like I can't breathe.
2 AnswersSTDs7 years agosores and rashes around anus and vagina, please help!?
Couple weeks ago I experienced thrush symptoms and went to doctors for swabs to be checked. Before geeting the results I slept with my boyfriend (the symptoms had gone by then) and we had anal for the first time. I first noticed some anal fissure I think, which just looked like swollen tears in the skin around the anus. A couple days later I started getting saw red bumps around the anus, these have progressed and turned into sores, some with yellow heads (sorry for tmi), with them being around by anus there is now a big open wound on one side. Turns out I did have a yeast infection, has ana spread it and made it worse?
Whats going on? Going the doctors tomorrow but i'm so scared, I've not told anyone about this

1 AnswerSTDs7 years agoPregnancy signs?
Am I pregnant?
I'm on the pill but have been getting weird symptoms lately. I started getting dark brown discharge last week with a little blood, this has developed to light brown/clear discharge with some specks of brown in and more blood sometimes. I feel a little bloated but apart from that feel fine. I have my 7 day pill break coming up so will soon find out but what do you guys think?
1 AnswerWomen's Health7 years agoPlease help me, I'm really scared!?
I'm 20 yrs old and have been on the pill since January (since being with my boyfriend). I've been taking the pills back to back and last week started noticing brown discharge with some bleeding. This has gone on for a week and today I've started feeling very tired with a headache. I know this is a sign of pregnancy. I went to the doctors today and she said she thinks it will most probably be because of taking the packets back to back. She made me take an std test. I'm really scared that I might be pregnant. I forgot to take one pill last packet but took it as soon as I realised (14 hours later).
Please someone give me some advice or assurance, don't know what I'd do if I became pregnant.
1 AnswerWomen's Health7 years agoCan I stop taking the pill before the end of the packet?
I'm 5 pills away from finishing the packet. If I stop taking them now and have my 7 day break then carry on will that be ok?
2 AnswersWomen's Health7 years agoshould I change my birth control?
I've been on the rigevidon pill since Janurary and have been sexually active with my boyfriend since then. Last week I started getting a little brown discharge and felt itchy down there, this has gone on for a week now and the itching has gone but the discharge is still there with a little blood as well. I have been taking the pill packets back to back without the 7 day break and have been taking them at the same time everyday. I'm going to go the doctors tomorrow but I'm scared that I'm either pregnant or have an std. Or do I just need to try a different birth control?

6 AnswersFashion & Accessories9 years agoAdobe flash professional cs5 and cs5.5?
Well i'm in a bit of a horrible situation. I'm in the middle of doing my applied ICT a-level at my college, I downloaded flash professional cs5.5 free trial so that I could work on it at home, in school we have cs5 so when I went to open in it said its was in a newer format. I went home and changed it to cs5 when saving, since opening it in college today I get the message 'unexpected file format'. I went to the technitions and they said there was nothing they could do about it. So i've lost about 10 hours worth of work! :( My question is how can I work on flash cs5.5 at home and ensure it works on cs5 in college without this happening again?
2 AnswersSoftware9 years agoWhat are the chances of me being called to court?
Basically i'm in a situation where a friend (lets call her Sarah) confided in me about her friend (also my friend but we're not as close, lets call her Megan) who had been having a sexual relationship with a teacher in our school. After a while I persuaded Sarah to tell a teacher about this. It eventually got taken into the hand of the police, I have recently given a statement about what I know although all I know is what Sarah has told me, Megan didn't even know that I knew, so it is basically second hand information. I've been told I could be called to court but it depends on whether the judges think my statement is worth it. What chances do you think there are that I will be called? And did I do the right thing in pushing Sarah in to telling someone? Also the teacher has pleaded not guilty which makes the situation even more complicated. Any advice wouldn't go amiss as I am sooooooo nervous about all this, thank you! :)
