I'm 18 years old and have been dealing with constant UTI's and ovarian cysts since I was 15 years old (I became sexually active at 17 years old). This year I've had 7 UTI's within the last 6 months, and complex ovarian cysts. I'm getting extremely impatient, aggravated, and depressed because I've been on 9 different antiobiotics (one which gave me a terrible allergic reaction that I had to get a cortizone shot, and another was changed because it gave me moderate hives). The doctors are NOT helping what-so-ever. The antibiotics don't work, have never really worked. I'm not very sexually active, maybe having sex once or twice a week. I wipe from front to back, and I do drink cranberry juice on a regular basis (since I like the taste as well). I cannot work, or go to school because of the constant pain, nausea, and vomitting within the last year especially. I am taking oral contraceptives, the doctors raised the dose and changed the prescription hoping it would help but the side effects were too much for me to handle (vomitting,nausea, diahrea). I was a former anorexic, my lowest weight being 85 lbs at 5'5''. Currently I am 5'5'' at 92 lbs. I have been to 4 different gynecologists and one urologist. My UTI's are always diagnosed at the doctor, which I go to 3-4 times a month. All the doctors do are the same tests without any help. Anyone please give me advice? Thanks!
