Atticus90 Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 She's been having bad pains in her pelvic area, back, and bad cramping. And she has to pee all the time. She spots only when she bleeds though. It has been goin on ofr about 12 hours now. Oh and she says her area smells "fishy" even when she washes real well. Read up on internet. Sources lead to pregnancy or urinary tract infection. Would like to know if any women here have any experience with these symptoms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BellaDonna Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 She probably has a UTI or some other infection. She should get to the doctor ASAP. You will likely need antibiotics. Is this your ex? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atticus90 Posted May 8, 2010 Author Share Posted May 8, 2010 Yes. She's about to go to urgent care and i'm trying to calm her fears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sophie274 Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 It also sounds to me like a UTI, or possibly an STD such as chlamydia. She does need medical attention, and most likely medicine, but it doesn't sound like she has anything too serious and if she goes to urgent care now she should be just fine. What are her fears? Is it about the severity of the illness, or is she worried about being pregnant? These don't look like pregnancy symptoms to me, and unless she has missed a period as well it's very unlikely that she is pregnant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atticus90 Posted May 8, 2010 Author Share Posted May 8, 2010 Well she's a pessemist when it comes to health problems and she can't help but think the worst. she's not worried about pregnancy. The pain is so bad for her that she thinks she's dieing. She doesn't get her period til the 21st Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well thank goodness it's extremely unlikely that she's dying, but if the pain is very bad then she should go to urgent care ASAP. The sooner she gets there the sooner they can give her the medicine (and she almost certainly needs medicine to feel better, given what you've described) she needs.

cazmoore Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Go immediately to the doctor. Bleeding is not a normal occurrence during urination. There is an infection if she's complaining of a fishy smell and urinating a lot, but UTI's and bladder infections can eventually lead to kidney infections and you do NOT want that to happen. Get her to go to a clinical immediately. The pelvic area pain most likely means the UTI has traveled up to her bladder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annie24 Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 agreed with the others, she needs to get to urgent care ASAP! it does sound like a UTI that may have spread to her kidneys. but she needs to see a doctor right away. i hope you are already at the hospital right now!

Atticus90 Posted May 8, 2010 Author Share Posted May 8, 2010 Took her to the urgent care. She has a UTI. Took em a while to find what was wrong, because of all the blood in her urine, but she has to eat yogurt for a few days, because i guess it's good for the kidneys. they prescribed her with some antibiotics and that if it gets worse that she might have to be hospitalized. They also said there's something else in her urine but have to send it to a lab for a more thourough look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generaldiscord Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 EMERGANCY ROOM, now! I hope she's alright! It could be UTI or kidney infection, either way she needs a doctor, or it will get bad fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atticus90 Posted May 8, 2010 Author Share Posted May 8, 2010 See that's the thing. She trys to clean real well. I don't know this for sure, but I think she sticks the rag up in her when she showers thinking it's gonna clean. She just took 'em a few minutes ago. I'm worried about that other thing that was in her urine that they couldn't tell us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm worried about that other thing that was in her urine that they couldn't tell us. If she's actually sticking something inside of her, she may be introducing bacteria into her vagina instead of actually removing it. It's not necessary to stick a rag up there; all that's going to is inflame everything. Just tell her to make sure that after she uses the restroom to wipe front to back, and well. Also, when you engage in any sexual activity, make sure both of your hands have recently been washed and are clean. And make sure she pees right after sex. (But no sex at least until she's done with her antibiotics. This is important!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generaldiscord Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 The urethra is not inside the vagina. If you want to help prevent UTI's in the future, recommend peeing before and after, but especially after, sex. Practice immaculate hygiene yourself, or you could be introducing more bacteria there.

It was unclear where she was "sticking" something - presumed he meant in the vagina. Could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generaldiscord Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Oh! I misunderstood. Yeah, the lady bits should be washed with mild soap and water, nothing else is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annie24 Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 i agree that she should not be sticking anything up there to wash nor should she douche. a health vagina can look after itself. it's likely she could have gotten the UTI from sex. are you guys sleeping together?
