I have another post in here but I really need more eyes so I can get help with my miriad of issues. If you'd like to know more of my history look for my post op post from oct 10.
Here goes---5 days post op I began premptive AB for a not-yet-cultured UTI...5 days later doc switched me to something they said would be more effective for the strain of bactiera found in the urine. And 4 days later I still have UTI symptoms plus the skin down there from my lady bits back to my bum is on fire. GP says I have a terrible case of yeast (thrush I assume cuz it's on the skin). She perscribed 5 more days of AB, 3 days of peridium, 7 days diflucan and lotromin as needed for topical relief. She thinks its a possibility that the yeast is so bad that it actually is causing some of my UTI symptoms but gave me more AB jic.
Backtrack a bit... Saturday I had 4-6 super soft BMs that lit my anus/fissure(suture site) on fire and I was desperate for relief but didnt know what was safe for that area. I remember that lots of folks on here like coconut oil so I used that and it was instant relief. But now I'm wondering if this could contribute to the thrush? Or was it a coincidence? If the latter can I still use it for topical relief? The biggest reason I am here is that it is currently 4:30am and I am wide awake because I woke an hour ago to the worst itching at the fissurectomy site! It's like the worst mosquito bite in the world! I was so desperate I tried scratching but that made my the area not only sore but then it just itched more. I wonder if the lotromin is not good to get into the stitches? I am currently on the sitz bath but it doesn't seem to have gotten any better. And speaking about sitz baths.... I feel like this is a breeding ground for more fungal growth so I put epsom salt in the h2o this time-is that enough? Any other ideas?
Lots of questions!!! And run-on sentences! Any help is greatly appreciated! I expected excruciating bum pain and instead have pain everywhere else and an itchy butt! It's messing with my head!!!
