‘A few’ white blood cells in vaginal discharge
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi, I went to ob-gyn yesterday due to a weird yellow thick discharge. She took samples and examined it under the microscope. She said that she observed ‘a few’ white blood cells but ‘not too many to be worried about’. However, she did suggest to run chlamydia and ghonnorrea tests.
Here is the bigger picture: about a 1,5 month ago I started lasik treatment for my nail fungus. Podiatrist also prescribed Terafinbanine (anti-fungal, not antibiotic) which totally messed up my menstrual cycle. At that time I was taking Yasminelle (birth control pills) and after finishing Terbinafine, my period started when I still had like 10 more pills to take! In addition, I got BV (doctor prescribed Metronidazole) which gave me yeast infection (doctor prescribed Fluctonazole). I was told to finish my birth control pack so I did but I didn’t stop bleeding/spotting after 7 days. My gyn prescribed me a totally different birth control pills (I didn’t take 7days break). In fact, my period lasted around 12 days. On the 12tg day (while being 5days on fluctonazole) I noticed weird very yellow (almost fluorescent) discharge (no itching though). I panicked and I got one of these Monistat screening test and it showed that my vagina’s ph is abnormal. So I went to doctor yesterday and she told me she saw this white blood cells (nothing elese was wrong).
Any suggestions what that can be? I really doubt I have chlamydia or ghonnorrea (previous doctor who diagnosed BV also run tests for Ch, Ghon and Trich - all negative). As far as I know my sexual partner doesn’t/didn’t sleep with anyone else but me (we didn’t use condoms a few times). Of course, if it will turn to be one of these std, it would mean he did sleep with someone infected.....
Is it possible that being on strong meds for over a month, changing birth control for a totally different ones and living in a permanent stress (which means bad nutrition habits, lack of sleep, etc.) may affect my hormonal system?
Please help, because I am loosing my mind.
Btw, test will come back probably tomorrow.
Thank you

Thanks for your comment. I think I’m just overreacting because all of these happened at the same time. I would be very disappointed if it turned to be sti because it would mean my partner is not faithful (I tested myself before we started having sex and - sti tests negative).
I’m even more stressed because I have never had gynecological problems before. Now I get a yeast infection every month!

Omg!!! I’m sorry to hear that! I will never understand why people do that! I’m so sorry...
I checked my chart online and it seems that everything is normal, pH 4,5, whiff, trich, clue cells, yeast all negative! She even marked WBC <10 and normal standard is <10. I hope it’s just stress and too many medications I took recently... I have no itching, no nothing, she said it looks normal down there, only this discharge.
To be honest, I have no idea how and what I would say to my partner if that turned to be sti... I haven’t slept or done whatever with anyone else and obviously, I’m not able to ‘grow’ it inside me so that would be only one person to blame - him....
Doctor said that it may be sti or it maybe nothing since there are some WBC in vagina in general. She saw me freaking out that’s why she suggested getting tested again

Its ok. I knew it wasnt going to work out when i forgave him it just wasnt the same. Yeah and i mean if he did give you an std that means he did if you been loyal throughout the relationship. Ill let you know now if he cheated i wouldn't give him another chance. They keep cheating after that and its so hard to trust them. But i dont think its an sti. Did she did a urine culture when she looked at wbc? If not then im not really sure. But it could be because kidney infection or uti does cause white boood cells in urine

She did not check my urine, she only swabed me and sent swabs to the lab. I am not feeling well in general, my ears hurt and I feel like getting sick. I just don’t know if WBC may appear in your vagina if you are sick. I’m guessing it’s possible since the whole body tries to fight an infection
