The cause and the treatment for your condition might turn out to be very simple.
According to the symptoms you reported, you might be experiencing an infection of certain of the female genital organs. A vaginal swab with antibiogram might determine the exact bacteria that cause the condition, thus determining the exact antibiotic that should be used.
The problem you might have missed is the fact that genital infections should be treated at the same time in both partners. Not having intercourse during the treatment does not prevent getting infected again. If your partner has the same infection, he has to be treated. Ten to fourteen days after the treatment, a control vaginal swab in you and urethral swab in your partner are recommended.
Not treating genital infections can lead to difficulty in getting pregnant and, in more severe cases, to complete sterility.
