Human papillomavirus is a diverse group of DNA-based viruses that infect the skin and mucous membranes of humans. More than 100 different human papillomavirus (HPV) types have been characterized. Some HPV types cause benign skin warts, or papillomas, for which the virus family is named. HPVs associated with the development of such "common warts" are transmitted...
Hi Everyone,
Here's my story -
I unfortunately had gonorrhea back in March and was diagnosed with GW as well. Gonorrhea was treated right away and GW as well. Got rid of the warts back in April but the effects had been excruciating. I developed a recurring yeast infection and Bacterial Vaginosis afterwards. My doctor had been very attentive and I was cleared of GW but the BV and the Yeast Infection is really starting to get the best out of me.
When I started the treatment, I read alot about HPV. I am a very persistent and positive person so learning about this really sparked the warrior in me. I traveled a lot and just lived life in a more energetic way more than I ever did. However, after 7 months since my treatment, the after effects is still making me frustrated. The itchiness down there and sometimes it gets so sore and still experience a clear discharge due to BV.
My doctor even performed Vaginal Irrigation ( lol, the term! ) to take out the build up of yeast inside ( and was done twice over the last 7 months ). I also had Diflucan (twice over the last 5 months ) and vaginal suppositories but the BV and Yeast Infection is still recurring. My doctor said that I have a weak immune system and that I should change my diet and get regular sleep ( my body clock is messed up ).
I haven't been taking any vitamins but since the end of November, I starting taking ACV and honey. When I first had this, within 48 hours, my yeast infection subsided and some chunks of yeast seem to have came out of my vagina - which is a good sign because it initially was all inside and that caused the BV. It's been a month since I had been taking the ACV but today, I had a watery discharge again and sore skin around my labia...feels like an allergy, something I can't get rid of.
Did any of you had such complication after GW treatment? If so, what are you doing to deal with it.
By the way, I had an HIV test and I came out negative too but I think my weak immunity is because of my lack of vitamins, exercise and bad sleeping pattern - and possibly unbalanced diet.
Right now I just feel a bit down about this whole complication. I remained really positive and persistent all along and I know that it's not the end of the world -- but this battle is quite tiring and I am getting annoyed of the BV and YI already.
Thanks in advance to your inputs.
Happy New Year everyone!

Happy New Year everyone!
I can't say that "GW" has caused anything similar for me reaction wise (thankfully mine came, treated, went and stayed gone!), however I have dealt with similar issues in my life in general and overcame them.
I had a pretty tough time for about 10 years with anxiety and depression. I was on an antidepressant, an anti-anxiety, prescription sleeping meds, AND an upper to get me out of bed in the morning (you get the picture). I was 80 lbs overweight and miserable in every aspect. During this time, i'd constantly get yeast infections, sinus infections, strep throat - you name it. I ate like crap and my body was in terrible shape.
I'd be curious to know if you're on any prescriptions? what about a birth control to regulate your hormones? Hormonal imbalance is one of the biggest causes of everything from anxiety/depression to health/body issues especially yeast, which can be regulated or caused by the level of certain hormones. Also, there are diets that remove yeast from your foods and then your body - I follow those guidelines loosely as it stands. It seems like you've read up on it also if you're already taking ACV which is great!
The food you put in and the way you take care of your body will 100% make the difference. The stomach is one of the biggest parts of your immune system, hence why the army is asking for volunteers to eat prepackaged rations so they can study their gut flora (google it) right now.
None of my doctors thought i'd ever get off of heavy, dual antidepressants however i'm 6 years off of all - I no longer get yeast infections, I dont have eczema, i don't have anxiety or depression and I just overall feel better - i don't even catch colds.
We sound pretty similar, I too sprung to defense mode when I learned my body was under attack.
Unfortunately, time - and then also some TLC to your body - will make the difference.
I would also take a probiotic as well - I take the pearl brand, theres even a yeast version! :) And if you aren't sleeping, Emergen-Z is fantastic bc it's natural melatonin for sleep AND vitamins, yummy peach or strawberry flavor. I have sleep issues still because of work and i honestly think thats the only reason i didn't get sick this winter -taking that at night.
Hang in there, this too shall pass!!
