I was just dianosed with a pseudomonas vaginal infection. I had noticed ONE time a dark brown/golden discharge. I have no itching, no irritation, maybe a little lower abdominal discomfort, and no foul smelling drainage. This was picked up on a routine GYN wellness exam.I have not had sex is 5 years.Could this have been contracted from sex toys?I do clean them but since Im the only one that uses them, I dont clean them every time.I am 57, 165#, take no prescription meds and am very healthy. I had a hysterectomy when I was 37 but have my ovaries. I am an RN so I am concerned and puzzled with this particular nosocomial infection especially as it is gram negative.I understand you dont have a crystal ball, but could this be the cause?
Hi, Thanks for posting in Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. Pseudocodes infections are caused by any of several types of the gram-negative bacteria Pseudocodes, most common one being Pseudocodes aeruginosa. The infections could be caused due to poor hygiene along with people with less immunity in conditions such as diabetes mellitus. You need to take a course of antibiotics like Ciprofloxacin or levofloxacin. Also, you need to maintain good hygiene of genital region by washing with mild antiseptic like Salon. Kindly wash and keep the toys you use in good hygiene condition to prevent contact with infection again. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
