Can sexually transmitted infections cause vaginal infections?

Yes, sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can cause vaginal infections. Several STIs can lead to infections in the vaginal area. Common examples include:

Chlamydia: Chlamydia is a bacterial STI that can infect the cervix and cause inflammation, leading to symptoms such as abnormal vaginal discharge and pain.

Gonorrhea: Gonorrhea, caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae, can infect the genital tract, including the vagina, and may cause symptoms such as increased discharge and discomfort.

Trichomoniasis: Trichomoniasis is a parasitic infection caused by the protozoan Trichomonas vaginalis. It can cause vaginal itching, irritation, and abnormal discharge.

Herpes: Herpes simplex virus (HSV) can cause genital herpes, leading to sores or ulcers in the genital area, including the vagina.

Syphilis: While syphilis primarily presents with sores or ulcers, the infection can spread through sexual contact and potentially affect the vaginal area.

It's important to note that not all vaginal infections are caused by STIs, and various factors, including bacterial or yeast overgrowth, can contribute to vaginal health issues. If there is a suspicion of an STI, prompt medical attention, testing, and appropriate treatment are essential to prevent complications and the spread of the infection. Safe sexual practices and regular STI screenings are crucial for sexual health.

Hey if you have a uterus and a cervix I have information that you need to know

I did not know, until the infection has spread, that thrush (also known as a yeast infection) if it's high enough inside it might not present with stereotypical symptoms

I did not have any of the normal thrush symptoms which are:

Whitish, odourless vaginal discharge

Persistent burning

Itching

Redness

Swelling,

Soreness of the vagina and vulva

I had NONE of those

Instead I had pain in my cervix

It felt like someone was squeezing my cervix in a fist at first and later like I was being stabbed in that area. This was my ONLY symptom and because it was so high up it spread to be all over pelvic pain

So if you're experiencing unusual pelvic/cervical pain and it's not really bad it's useful to get a swab from the doctor and/or try treating it for thrush. If you're in severe pain go to the doctor/hospital. This is if it's just discomfort or mild pain

I just want to share this information because I had NO IDEA this could happen until it happened to me so I'm sure I'm not the only one

there is so much aggressive misinfo abt toxic shock syndrome out there its a nightmare

#1st off 80% of the population is just straight up immune #no it is not caused by chemicals on tampons and all but one of the leading scientists who study it assert that the risk comes from #oxygen entering the vaginal canal which causes staphylococcus aureus bacteria to multiply -> bacteria produces TSST-1 toxin #-> toxin enters bloodstream -> causes TSS #the reason that heavy absorbancy products create more of a risk is they give the bacteria more room to multiply this is why the rely tampon #caused a spike in TSS cases in the 70s-80s they were fucking massive #there's disagreement from scientists abt how much the amount of time you leave a tampon in actually affects the risk of TSS but to be safe #still just keep it to 8 hrs because either way old blood is not great for introduction of other potentially harmful (but not deadly we're #talking like yeast infections here) bacteria #literally there are like 20 US cases of TSS per year. plenty of those aren't period related #chances of getting it even if you leave a tampon in a few hours more than 8 are practically 0 #also cups can cause tss for fucks sake. its also practically a 0 chance but saying they can't cause it is completely untrue.#i've got a really good article discussing how TSS actually works if anyone wants it just send me an ask or a dm #.log

"I don’t mind paying to use public restrooms because the paid ones are cleaner!” Then you clearly do not experience the profound frequency that can make paying-per-pee an itemized travel expense akin to an extra meal in my food budget, nor the level of urgency that has prevented me from ever turning down a restroom opportunity when I need it, which is constantly. We are not the same.

My bff’s bf said something stupid and misogynistic and it’s 3am and I’m realizing I should have been angrier in the moment lmao

#It was like kind of a joke?#I know it’s dumb but what the fuck was that #While talking about how you need to worry more about what you put in your vagina he said something about sitting on your balls being worse #And I was like ?????? Hello????#In no version of reality where having a vagina and ovaries is going to be easier or less painful #I just mentioned how those aren’t even close and how you literally have to constantly worry about yeast infections and UTI #Now I wish I’d listed more things like just yearly gyno visits and Pap smears #IM JUST REMEMBERING #WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT HOW PEOPLE WERE STUPID ABOUT THINGS THEY DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT #SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO COMMENTS ON VAGINAS AND VAGINAL HEALTH #AND THATS THE CONFIDENT ASS COMMENT HE GAVE LMAO FUCK #I was so exhausted but damn i hope I have the ability to point this out if he does it again #Like I think something like this has happened before and I’m deeply concerned #Like implying something is easier because of being a woman #He’s progressive but I get such a bad feeling he’s still picked up on some subtle incel shit

Anti-Yeast Tea

UTI's and bladder infections are never any fun, but I think the worst is when the doctor can't tell you when you have one of these things because the tests come back negative. My mom ran into this problem last year. Luckily for her, I was having similar issues, but I hadn't gone to a doctor yet. I decided to make this my first official herbal concoction.

My herbal journey started with me collecting herbal healing books and staring wistfully at the pages, but not certain how to go about starting. So when I began to have itchy problems in my vaginal area, I decided I was going to figure out a solution. At first I just assumed I wasn't cleaning as well as I should have, and so I started to make sure I spent a little more time in that area and was keeping it clean. When that didn't seem to solve the problem, I crafted the Yoni Powder (on the next blog post) to help keep the itching at bay while I waited for my herbs to arrive in the mail for this tea.

I was overjoyed when I received all the herbs I needed to create this tea! I immediately started putting the herbs into a jar that ended up being MUCH too small for everything. One thing I had to figure out as I was measuring the herbs out was how I was going to define how much a "part" was. A lot of recipes in herbal books call for "parts". I decided to keep it simple for myself I would consider a "part" an "oz", and began measuring as such (If you decide to go down the route of measuring 1 Part as 1 Oz, then be aware that not all plant weight the same and one ounce in one plant can be a LOT more than one ounce in other plants). The main thing to remember is to keep your "parts" the same for the recipe. By deciding to consider 1 Part as 1 Oz I ended up making WAY more than what I actually needed. But the good part is that I now have more on hand should I need to brew more tea (and YES I have needed to brew more).

My first taste of this tea will always be memorable, because it was terrible! The first time I made this tea I accidentally over boiled it, which ruins the entire tea. I decided that when my mom said she was having issues, but the doctor wouldn't give her medication because she was testing negative for infections, that I would help her out. I told her about this tea and told her I'd be willing to brew some for her, all she had to do was drink unsweetened cranberry juice with it, and it would help (Note: I had yet to finish the first batch I made. I thought I had made it correctly and it was just horribly bitter. I was terrible at taking it, I absolutely dreaded drinking it. It wasn't until I brewed some for my mom (while actually paying attention to it so it didn't boil) that I realized I made mine wrong).

My mom drank her batch of the tea and praised it to high heavens! She said it worked incredibly well and wasn't nearly as bitter as I had been making it sound. That was my incentive to remake it for myself. This time I made it while keeping a watchful eye on the pot, and it turned out a million times better than the first batch. I drank all of it, and immediately felt better within the second or third day of treatment. Now with knowing it worked, I make sure to keep the herbs nearby so I can brew more if I or anyone in my family should ever need to use it.

The one thing to know about this tea is that, you don't need to have an active infection going on to use it. If you feel off in your vaginal area, or just an unexplained itch. This tea helps reset the PH balance in the vagina when taken properly and consistently.

Now without further ado, the recipe. (Please look at the tips and observations for helpful guidance on making and using this tea. These are observations I have made myself while making the tea, and can help you have a better first experience than mine was.)

Ingredients

2 Parts Sage

2 Parts Raspberry Leaf

2 Parts Mullein

1/4 Part Goldenseal Root

Directions

Mix Herbs together.

Use 4-6 Tablespoon (I used 4 Tablespoon) of herb mixture per quart of water.

Add herbs to cold water & bring to simmer over low heat. Keep pot covered!

Remove from heat immediately & let steep for 20 minutes.

Strain with a coffee filter.

To Use

Drink 3 cups (I used a short glass and would put about 2 oz tea and 2 oz cranberry juice in it) between meals or half an hour before eating until gone.

Tips

- "parts" is an undefined herbalist term. It can mean whatever you want. 1 oz, 1 lb, they're all a "part". My suggestion is to stick to 1 oz for the "parts" measurement (especially if using dried herbs). Dried herbs weigh less than you think they do, and you'll need a bigger storage jar than you originally thought.

- 1 quart is equal to 4 cups of water

- keeping the pot covered is essential, this tea is incredibly strong scented.

- Straining with a coffee filter is incredibly important! Mullein has tiny little hairs that can irritate the throat, which the coffee filter helps remove when straining.

- store in the fridge when not in use.

- Drink with pure cranberry juice (unsweetened) in equal parts, the taste is not the greatest.

- pair with Yoni Powder treatment for best results.

Observations

- Grin & bear it. Do not add sugar. Your infection will not get better as fast as you'd like and you'll have to drink more of this.

- If you didn't pay attention and the tea begins boiling for an undefined amount of time TOSS IT! You've released too much of the bitterness even with the cranberry juice to "sweeten the taste". Toss it and start over. You've been warned.

-Tastes better at room temperature

-If the infection is severe or been going on for a while, you might need to make two batches, but usually one batch will take care of the issue.

Sometimes at work I just want to pull a Clippy and be like, "it looks like you're trying to test this patient for vitamin D deficiency! I say that because the diagnosis code you used is 'Screening for Vitamin D deficiency'! But the test you asked for is Vitamin D dihydroxy (not to be used for vitamin D deficiency screening). Did you mean to ask for the much more common and less expensive test, Vitamin D 25 hydroxy, instead?"

But no, we're not supposed to fill out a follow up request if a doctor explicitly asked for the test, which they did.

Hey, this is a great example how American healthcare is wildy inefficient and riddled with errors!

#seriously sometimes I'm just like...do these doctors know what they're doing? Or even care #Like it clearly says this test is only going to give accurate results if the patient fasted first and it says here the patient didn't fast #So why are we doing this?#Did you just feel like checking boxes off on the form for extra tests would make you feel more thorough?#Best case scenario you just wasted time and resources #Worst case you get a reading that is misleading because you didn't perform the tests in the right conditions!#And then there is the doctor who keeps trying to get us to test for bacterial vaginosis from blood samples. ...#How...do you think the vaginal infection...is in her blood?#Or do you think lab tests are like palm reading or something and you can figure it out mystically from a separate bidy system?#Forget google reviews they need to develop a ranking system for doctors based on how often their paperwork gets flagged #by the laboratories for errors #Thank goodness I have insider knowledge know and the next time I pick a doctor #It'll be one whose office staff knows how to centrifuge their blood tubes properly #If your attention to detail is lacking when handling the precious sample that is blood then where else are you making mistakes?
