Could Being Diagnosed With Vaginal Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Lead To Itching And Pain During Interocurse?
Hi! I am 33years old female, diagnosed with pseudomonas aeruginosa in vaginal. my doctor gave me corsacin antibiotics twice a day for 5 days. But it doesn t work. sometimes feels itchy in vaginal and pain while having sex. Apparently, before tested pseudomonas aeruginosa. my doctor gave me antibiotic to put in vaginal. since it didn t work then we took the sample liquid from my vaginal to test. And I left it for 2 months since I didn t feel annoyed during that time eventhough the white liquid still occurs. But now after took corsacin. Its still occurs and feel pain when having sex as well as itchy. Is it a serious health prob for me? And how to totally cure from this bacteria? please help.... Thank You

Hello and welcome to HCM,
I understand that you are having pseudomonal infection. You are having symptoms despite taking corsacin and it appears that it did not act.
Pseudomonas is difficult to treat organism and if treatment is not taken properly, it becomes resistant to drugs.
I suggest that you repeat the vaginal swab test and this time do an antibiotic sensitivity testing. This test determines the antibiotic which is active against the bacteria. Then this antibiotic is used to ensure better treatment outcome. You may even need injectable antibiotics.
Also if you have not checked your sugars recently, get them checked as diabetics are prone to unusual infections.
If it does not clear with oral or injectable drugs, use of betadine vaginal pessaries for 5-7 days may be tried. They are usually irritating but may be used as a last resort. Discuss this with your doctor.
It is advisable to use condoms and also test your partner for presence of infection as the infection may be transferred from one to the other and vice versa.
Hope this answered your query.
