Sexually Active. Pregnancy Test Negative. Prescribed Cephalexin For Infection. Pap Abnormal. Redness, Inflammation In Vagina, Anal Area. Why?
I am sexually active and 7 days late. I took 4 pregnancy tests but all turned out negative. I noticed my vaginal area became very itchy and saw a Dr. she prescribed me cephalexin for a vaginal infection. My pap also came out abnormal so I need to retake one in 4 months. now I have redness and inflammation in both vaginal and anal areas. What's is going on with me?

You seem to be suffering from vaginal candidias which is fungal infection. Treatment with anti fungal agent like Candid vaginal pessary for you and also treatment of your partner with oral Anti- fungal agent is important. Get the infection confirmed by smear examination.
Take care
