Accepted Answer

Need an exam: There are many potential reasons for this, including persistent infection.  It also depends whether you took vaginal or oral medication and whether you were tested with a "wet prep" prior to being treated.  Best thing to do would be to be seen for an exam and swab to detect exactly what is going on.  Good luck!

Question 6

i could smell burning rubber earlier today for about two minutes - no one else did. since i've had a headache and felt dizzyish. should i see my gp?

Accepted Answer

First time for this?: It is said that olfactory hallucinations can sometimes be a manifesatation of a mass lesion in a place called the olfactory bulb or the olfactory groove region of the brain and that rubber burning is the commonly described smell related.  Therefore, if this is the first time this is happening it is a good idea to see not only your GP but also a neurologist since other things could be happening.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Phantosmia: Phantosmia – smelling something that’s not there – can be triggered by temporal lobe seizures, epilepsy, head trauma and in some instances certain psychiatric conditions. It is also associated with Alzheimer’s and occasionally with the onset of a migraine. MRI, CT scans and EEGs can find physiological triggers such as tumor, sinus infection. If your symptoms continue, see a doctor.
