This month has been a terrible month for my health. It's been one issue after another and all of them affect my ability to work.

Any issues regarding vaginal health are very rare for me and usually caused by poor hygiene of someone I've come into contact with. I maintain very high hygiene standards for myself and don't offer unprotected services during work. I have only one partner that I do have unprotected sex with and I advised them to get tested. They might not have an STD but very well could have an STI that is symptomless but contagious and thus disrupting my PH balance or introducing bacteria to me that could cause a UTI.

It's very uncomfortable right now, I've had mild back pain for a few days but had wrote it off as soreness from dancing and then also started my period so again thought it was usual lower back menstrual pain but my period has since ended and I noticed blood was coming out of my urethra. I already got a prescription of anti-biotics but these anti-biotics often cause yeast infections and I'm worried that I'll have yet another one. I really do not want to be stuck in a bad vaginal health cycle. My job literally involves grinding on people which is not helpful in healing these type of issues so my only options are to stay away from work while I'm on my medication in order to no re-irritate the area.

My prescription is taking forever to fill and I'm starting to get in a very bad mood. I had planned to work tomorrow but I probably won't be able to

Update

August 20th, 2026

After multiple chats with customer service, I was able to get my prescription both confirmed and sent to another pharmacy. I somehow managed to sleep through the night but as soon as I awakened the overwhelming urgency to pee started again. Every time I've gotten a UTI it goes straight to being severe. I have gross hematuria and small less than a grain size of rice blood clots passing through my urethra. It's defintely something to be concerned about but the real severity comes from the infection moving into my kidneys. I'm peeing blood, doesn't that seem like it reached your kidneys? Well not quite, while the UTI is severe it's not progressed to life threatening which would include symptoms like fever, nausea, and lower back or flank pain among other things. Thankfully my prescrition went through and am now on a 5 day course of anti-biotics. I'm still waiting for the medication to kick in as I only took it an hour ago.

I want to write bit of a review about the telehealth service I used to get my prescription.

Review

I used an online telehealth service called GOODRX to diagnose my symptoms and prescribe the necessary medication

There was some initial confusion about the prescripton being sent because when the pharmacy I chose to fulfill it said they had not recieved a RX fulfillment request. Not all pharmacies work with GOODRX and I realized the pharmacy I had chosen was on the incompatible list and reached out to customer service to transfer the request to a differnt pharmacy.

Within an hour the transfer was submitted and the new pharmacy fulfilled the order shortly after. I was able to pick up my RX within the same hour

I rate the service 9/10, I would definitely use this service again to get medication, it's a really affordable option to get the things you need if you don't have insurance. I dont recommend using the mobile version of the site and think it's best to use the GOODRX App or desktop site because my initial issue, I suspect was due to a weird glitch on the mobile site when processing the order. I did find reviews of people with a similar experience although they didn't specify what version of the service they used. The customer service is not a Live Chat and is another reason for docking a point as it did take some time to get a response back from the medical team but ultimately within 24 hours.
