repogirl: Anything can give u a itch. Why will a lady aloow toilet water to splash on her VJ by the way. U have a itch does not necessarily mean u have gotten an STD. Many things can cause a itch. A itch is just one of the many symptoms of of UTIs or STDs. Many of u result to self medication, without knowing what exactly is wrong with u, hence when u treat, and ur other sex partner doesn't, u get reinfected and u blame.on toliet. NOTHING like Toilet infection. U either have a UTI or an STI(D) Sometimes u use the wrong antibiotics and start seeing symptoms again and again. |

progress69: you sed women mistake UTI and STD for toilet infection. I'm agreeing with you and expandin further for knowledge sake. So that they will no longer make the same mistake. UTI is infection of the Urethra not the vagina, vagina doesn't lead to kidneys but the Urethra does. It shorter in women which makes them more prone to UTI than men that's why I shared my experience with UTI that led to kidney infection. STDs are passed through the vagina, even if they present with frequent urination as in PID (pelvic inflammatory disease). |

Precial419:lol. Using soap to wash ur VJ can cause an imbalance in the PH level of ur VJ, not washing ur hands properly after deficating or a dirty job and touching ur Vj can cause an irritation. There is difference b/w UTIs and STDs. But everything is lumped together this days. Slef medication is also a problem. Many treat symptoms and not the root cause, thereby many reoccurrence blamed on toilets. |
Re: The So-called Toilet Infections In Women by progress69: 12:16am On Nov 28, 2016 |
wanderlustian: Exactly, UTI are not contagious, unlike STDs, that is the difference. UTIs and STDs may have similar symptoms, that is why u don't result to self medication, as u may keep having a reoccurrence of any infection if the u don't use the proper antibiotics for the infection u have. That is when u keep blaming toilets. Using an improper antibiotic may stop symptoms for a while, then resurface later. Self medications and kangaroo assertions have really eaten deep into Nigeirans. |

progress69: Me sef follow you tire. The vj is even too far away for the water to reach. Too many things to pass, public hair, labia major a, labia minora before the water will reach there, if not, why do you have to use a stick to insert canesten treatment into the vj? Abi them open the place yakata for the water to just swim inside. It is still boils down to hygiene. If we practice good hygiene there will be no talk of toilet infection. Some women even wipe wrongly. If you wipe back to front you will catch infection from the anus. Instead you wipe front to back to protect the veejay from unwanted elements 1 Like |

Re: The So-called Toilet Infections In Women by progress69: 12:23am On Nov 28, 2016 |
wanderlustian: Some even use soap to wash the VJ. Some don't even wash hands properly after toilet, many things can cause an infection many result to self medication, where they treat the symptoms, and not the root problem itself, then when there is a reoccurrence of symptoms they blame on the last toilet they used. That is why it is important to know what exactly is wrong with you before swallowing antibi, or using some topical creams. |

wanderlustian, please i am sorry. Seem to be misunderstanding each other, cos i don't even look at monikers before i respond. U can tell from my responses. We are on the same track. Thanks |
Re: The So-called Toilet Infections In Women by wanderlustian(f): 12:29am On Nov 28, 2016 |
progress69: Gbam... But let's be sincere, how many people can afford vaginal swab and wait for 3 days culture before result comes out? By then d itching for don send you go yaba left. Personally, the last time (minus pregnancy) I had an itch was when I was a teenager, before I learnt proper hygiene. That itching eh! Never again. God! Panties must be cotton, hand washing, tissue after using the bathroom, wiping front to back and life has been blissful. But in pregnancy, hormones will scatter everything, if u like practice from now till forever. Na you and canesten till delivery. Lol |

Re: The So-called Toilet Infections In Women by progress69: 12:35am On Nov 28, 2016 |
wanderlustian: The money that will be spent on treating reoccurrence, would have been more than enough for a test and treatment once and forall. Afterall, symptoms can be treated while results are awaited. |

progress69:.......i beg to differ bro, there is every possibility of a woman getting infected by using public toilet... For the record I am a MICRIBIOLOGIST... Just as the OP has pointed out the major microbes that are part of the normal flora of the vagina are Candida albicans and lactobacillus acidi, the lacto bacillus acidi keeps the Candida in check by reducing the pH of the vagina now if the population of the bacteria is reduced drastically either by alteration of immune system or other cultural practices the yeast will overgrow. However what the OP failed to point out is that some diseases that are even classified as sexually transmitted can be contracted through the uhygenic use of toiletries a typical example is gonorrhoea (this case aplies to females alone) caused by the microbe neiserra gonorrhoea which is the only pathogenic gram negative bacteria that exists as a cocci (Its actually a diplicocci) ......if a lady shares the potti with an ifected lady (not in the incubation stage) lests assume they pee in the same potti, during this process the potti got filled and a sizeable part of the infected pee (note that the pee is expected to be sterile but in a UTI case like this it is not) found it's way into the victims vagina she becomes infected besides there are other microbes a lady could pick up from using public toilet. What OP should have done was to specify those that can't be picked up from the toilet example which is the candidiasis. 2 Likes |
Re: The So-called Toilet Infections In Women by wanderlustian(f): 12:48am On Nov 28, 2016 |
Then the problem with antibiotics is that they will kill the normal lactobacili flora and give candida room to flourish and frustrate you more. And if u have bacteria vaginosis and use anti fungi topical cream, you will kill the Candida that should grown and help u balance out the bacteria and the case gets worse. That is why you hear toilet infection is not going or keeps recurring. So my sisters that are complaining of itching that won't go away, see a doctor, get a lab referral for MCs (microscopy, culture and sensitivity) of vaginal swab or urine sample. Microscopy is to check for live or juvenile forms of parasites (eg trichomonas), culture is to breed the exact bacteria or fungi that is worrying you (ecoli, group b strep,staph or candida etc) and there is this magical thing they call sensitivity. Its my favourite Once u culture the sample and put in the sensitivity rods ( which contains the different common antibiotics), the lab scientist will return to see the exact antibiotic that will work for you condition so that you won't swallow septrin when it is augumentin that will work for you. The lab will write to the doctor that antibiotic that worked so that he will prescribe it then you take to the pharmacist that will dispense it. Within a few days you are as good as new. But make sure you finish your dosage if not, the bacteria may become resistant and then we are back to square one. So just manage and see a doctor. Its better that suffering in silence. 1 Like |

slimfresh:thankyou, boboyekini, chigoize7, wanderlust etal.....finally something from a micro biologist. As for those asking me to go for UTI tests, I have been pregnant three times and been tested while pregnant for safety reasons. So I am certified UTI free but once toilet water touches me, itching happens. The coincidence is just too uncanny. As for wiping properly even my six year old kid knows she shouldn't wipe from the back forward. @paperlace, piercedclit ..... it's he who wears the shoe that knows where it hurts. Male doctors will come and be assuming things for females. Thats how years ago, it was believed female org.asm was a myth and was impossible. Some still believe it still is impossible. Others like Freud believed if a woman got educated she would start having male features, lol. Probably because it doesn't happen to men, they assume it also can't happen to females. After a some years, they will realise their mistake. 2 Likes |
