Ever heard of vaginal staph?
Hello to all! I had a complete hysterectomy in February 2004 because of cysts, endometriosis, pain and enlarged womb. I tried to make it without hormone replacement, but after 5 weeks, my hands began shaking and I couldn't stand myself (or anyone else!). I am now on estrace 2mg and doing ok with the pill. I do worry because my mom died of breast cancer in November of 2002. How long will I take the pill? I don't know. I thought I was starting to feel better until my next problems began. In November 2004 I had a colonoscopy because of severe diarrhea that I had been experiencing for about 2 years (have had problems on and off since my gallbladder was removed in 1999). I was treated for a yeast infection after my hospital stay of four days. Now I am told that it is not a yeast infection, but it is a staph infection. I have never heard of vaginal staph. I started a clindamycin vaginal cream last night. I am swelled on the inside and it hurt to insert cream. Is this normal? I am really scared. Is there anyone with my problem? Thank you for listening.

I can't help, sorry. I did a fast search for "staph" and there was everything from infections of the cuff to the incision. Shelbi on Page 2 dated 8-7-04 had a staph of the vagina. I don't know if you can learn anything...but take a look. I'm sorry you have to deal with this!

Good news!!!!
Hello All! Since I posted this letter, I have gotten well!!!! A new gyno told me that I might not have had staph, and that sometimes the pap test can show a positive for staph, when it is another infection. Anyway, she said the aggressive treatment cured my infection. I haven't had anymore problems. I now battle the swelly belly and hormone fluctuation.
Thanks to all who prayed for me. Please continue and God bless you all. Sincerely, Rachel
