I've been having many problems and I finally got to go to the gynecologist's office. It took a month to get in, but I finally got in. I have sores on my vagina that are red. Sometimes they go away and come back. I have a blue vein clearly jutting out of my left breast. Not to mention various other problems with every private area. I went online because my sister said if we got an idea of what it was, we could try and get some treatment earlier-or something at least to relieve the pain because it was going to be at least a month before we got in there to see the doctor. Well, I went to webmd and clicked on the list of symptoms and answered the questions and webmd told me that the top most problems I could be experiencing are UTI, Candidiasis, or a yeast infection. Webmd also told me that the problem with my breast is most likely breast cancer. I was expecting for the doctor to tell me that one of these were the problem. Well, he told me that there was nothing wrong with me and that the red sores were something about sweat glands or soemthing like that and he'd give me antibiotics to solve that problem. He did not write a note at the end of the session so I could get these antibiotics, so I don't know if he forget or what.

I went online and found out that people used to be able to get over the counter stuff[like antibiotics] without a doctor's note, but in 2010 I think, this changed because of some new law. So now I can't get the antibiotics. Besides having to worry about that, I still don't understand what is wrong with me. Normal people don't have to constantly go to the bathroom and have problems urinating do they? I know they don't. I live with four people and not one of them has the same problems I have and my friends don't have these problems. I also have discharge coming from front and back and I know that isn't normal. I don't think the doctor is lying to me because he'd have nothing to gain from it, so I really don't understand why he said everything is fine. Obviously, it's not. I don't know what to do now. If I have to have the doctors note to get these antibiotics and they were my only hope for some recovery, then I'm pretty screwed at the moment. He did not give me a perscription.

Usually, I think I'm wrong because I have depression, so I always assume everyone else knows better. However, there are physical signs of my problems and for some reason these were just ignored. I don't know what to do.

Also, I was raped for four years by a family member, who used no protection. So I find it very hard to believe I don't have some type of problem, especially when I have to deal with the symptoms each day.

I'm sorry for your situation. I have veins on my arms that are blue that stick out, so i don't think you have anything wrong with your boob. As far as the vagina sores, they may be an std. You should probably go get tested at the health dept.

Go to a Walk-In Clinic!

Here is what you should do to sort out this mess. Consult an urologist, have an urianalysis done and based on the results start a treatment with antibiotics (probably from the cephalexine group) 14 days.
In the meantime you can start drinking cranberry juice.(lots) The doc did not write a prescription, but you did not ask for one. Sloppy at both sides
