HELP! - Itching Symptoms "Back There"

Hi everyone,


Im hoping someone can offer some information on this because I'm scared now and this is something I've never had to deal with before. Last week I was diagnosed with chlamydia and put on a "blast dose" of Zithromax, in the amount of 2,000 mg, or 2 gm. I took that on Monday of last week. About 2 days later I started having itching down below as well, so the dr assumed it was the Zithromax causing a yeast infection and put me on a dose of diflucan. This is the weird part….Its not a full week later and I'm still not feeling 100%, I have a feeling the chlamydia is not fully cleared up and now on top of that I'm having this weird itching not down below in the front, but in the back! What is going on with me???!!! I just feel so dirty now and feel like I'm never gonna get better and back to normal… Has anyone ever heard of this or maybe have any idea what this might be? Could it be a yeast infection that spread to the back? I have no idea but I'm scared!

Hi,


I'm confused, because I didnt have anal sex... So would this still affect me there?

Hi again,

The itching could be due to the chlamydia, and/or a yeast infection. Having had yeast infections "back there" myself, I can't describe how horrible they are!

I'm glad you're back to your doctor tomorrow, let us know how it pans out.

Also, I found that the single dosages of Diflucan were useless in getting rid of bad yeast infections, so you might need more treatment if it's a yeast infection.
