yeast-infection

Avatar f tn I went to the free clinic and they gave me flagyl but it was very much a free clinic in the sense I could tell they didn't know what they were talking about in most cases (I overheard them tell someone men can't get yeast infections...) and now I'm wondering if flagyl will even help my tooth because I thought it was more for gastric issues. Any idea?
Avatar n tn Antibiotics usually cause yeast infections. You can go to a health department or you doctor & get them to prescribe you something or if you're for sure it's a yeast infection get some monistat.
Avatar f tn s normal for some women once pregnant deal with...my doctor gave me a list of suitable medications during pregnancy and for yeast infections you can use Minister or wait for your appointment they will probably prescribe an antibiotic called Flagyl...
Avatar n tn The gyn did a wet mount test and saw a few clue cells, which usually means BV, but also said everything looked normal. She went ahead and treated me for BV. I took the flagyl and symptoms seemed to calm down but not completly. I still have the occasional burning and itching. Plus I occassionally get soreness and shooting pains in the vaginal area. SinceI still had a refill on my medicine I got it refilled and have started taken it again. I am like you I am worried about my health. I am scared.
Avatar f tn Fluconazole does work on yeast infections as it is an antifungal. Clindamycin is different and is an antibiotic. It fights bacteria, not yeast or fungus. Clindamycin can create a situation in which you get a yeast infection. It's not used to treat a yeast infection but fluconazole is.
Avatar m tn So here's the deal, I have had a yeast infection for about 2 years. i have been given Gynazole (sp), miconazole, metronidazole, flagyl, fluconazole, and have also tried tioconazole, to no avail. So I stopped going to doctors for it. But now I want to get an IUD, and I am wondering if the IUD can be inserted during the presence of a yeast infection? I know certain infections are contraindications, but are yeast infections? I don't think they can spread to the cervix/uterus.
Avatar f tn Antibiotics cause yeast infections. Happens 95% of the time. If I get antibiotics my doctor will normally prescribe a yeast infection med to take after finish.
Avatar f tn if you have doubts on your doctors conclusions then see another doctor.that the best i can do for you.
Avatar f tn No, it is likely a new yeast infection after taking flagyl. Retreat for the flagyl. BV can happen on its own or it can be passed partner to partner. I would always use a condom. But you likely got another yeast overgrowth situation after taking the antibiotic for the bv.
Avatar f tn After taking this medicine I got a yeast infection. And the Entire time I was taking it I had a discharge. ..
Avatar f tn I had to go to the ER a few days ago and found out from the on call ob that I had a yeast infection and he prescribed me flagyl. It's the oral tablet not the cream. It tastes awful and ive been getting nauseous almost immediately after I take it. It's so bad tonight I can't get to sleep.
Avatar f tn Yes, you can get a yeast infection as a virgin. Women often get a yeast infection, for example. after taking certain antibiotics, which can disturb the normal healthy balance of the vagina. However, it is also possible to get bacterial infections (again while still being a virgin), not just yeast infections, so it is important to get it checked out to see what organism might be causing the problem and whether a medication might be needed to clear it up.
Avatar f tn They then can immediately tell what it is. If a doctor looked and said it is normal, well. What can I say. You can get a different opinion. Women do have various odors (but shouldn't be foul) and secretions that ARE normal. Itching can happen from time to time--- some women even get eczema in that area and dermatitis of unknown origins. So, talk to your mom about your next step. She should be able to help you.
Avatar m tn Since beginning the antibiotics, I have been experiencing white discharge that I was not having prior to taking flagyl. It is very different than a yeast infection. (I am also on flucan to prevent a yeast infection.) It is creamy and sort of sticky. What is this new discharge? Is it my body trying to get rid of the infection? Am the BV resistant to flagyl?
Avatar n tn Agree with above that yeast can be passed between partners. If you had sex while having a yeast infection, your partner could pick it up then and pass it back to you. Do not have sex right now without a condom and talk to him about that. I had a nasty yeast infection after antibiotics a couple of months ago. Ugh, feel for you. They are so uncomfortable! I did use the monostat one day (diflucan is better in my opinion!!) but I also ate probiotic yogurt (activia).
Avatar f tn I'm no doctor but I'm just saying it's best to get a diagnosis, maybe a swab so you can treat it accordingly rather than taking needless medication.
Avatar f tn heres a few problems you have that ive figured out from visiting the drs sone of it i had forgotton about cause if am not sick am not treating it i feel better i stop--yeah they say chronic fatgiue/fobromylagia-- i feel like they just tell people that that dont tell you what you can do about it theres a book from fatguie to fantanstic-- i can never afford to do the whole program when i try to help myself...
Avatar m tn Is her tongue white? Thrush doesn't usually manifest as a sore on the outside of the lips, as candida requires a moist environment to survive. Just wondering if this has been diagnosed and if the other symptoms of thrush are there because if it's just this sore again are you sure it's yeast?
Avatar f tn no laughing matter, regaurdless of no ejaculation there is a chance of getting preg if there was penitration in the vagina, if your question is when he ejaculated in the hot tube is there a chance of getting preg from that " then no" .. so if you are questioning if you are preggos or not and if you want to prevent a pregnacy use your plan b just to cover all angles .. plan be is used within 72 after unprotected sex. i hope this helped ..
Avatar f tn if you take an antibiotic for BV you most likely will get a yeast infection after that from the Antibiotics killing off all the good bacteria. Please understand this is what could happen.
Avatar m tn Hi i had a yeast infection and i'm 1month pregnant. I have used flagyl to trit the infection, i'm now warried what will happen to me. I want to know if they wont be any hum.
Avatar n tn is tehre a chance that i can get fungal infection now because of the antibiotic? a day after bactroban i put tioconazole until now and there are no rashes now but occasionally its itchy. and there's a small bump near the urine passage like .5 cm away from it. my doctor checked for lesions during the consultation and it was tehre already even before that. shall i be worried since it is still not gone?
Avatar f tn You can find them in drugstores or online. You can build up to several a day. You also need to stay away from antibiotics in the future unless really neccessary since once you have it you are prone to getting it again.
Avatar f tn First you must try and calm down. Yes antibiotics will cause a yeast infection as a side effect. You may want to use Monistat 1 day. It's pricy but It does work. If you continue to take a lot of antibiotics it WILL keep coming back. Unfortunately it's a side effect and nothing can be really done about it except if you stop taking the antibiotics. Have you ever tried to see if your DR can prescribe something other than antibiotics for your sinus infections?
Avatar f tn Looked me in the eye and said you do not have a yeast infection. They also said they couldn’t find my IUD strings and sent me to the hospital for a trans vaginal ultrasound. The ultrasound showed that my IUD was where it was supposed to be. Finally went to my gynecologist back home and she said it was definitely a yeast infection that was severe. The severity came from not treating it properly and the Flagyl.
Avatar n tn i finished taking metronidazole 500mg for 7 days and then took a pill for yeast infection for one day cant remenber the name but a week after the npleasant smell is still her ..
Avatar f tn After 3 weeks i got symptoms of a yeast infection. I was given flagyl cream after taking flagyl by mouth 4 days and having effects. also given DIFLUCAN 2 times once for when i started flagyl and one for last dose. After the meds i seemed to have new symptoms. I have swollen areas just inside of my vagina. I have had all std test done twice now all neg.
Avatar f tn I wasnt sick though and im not even sure i had bacterial vagonisis. but now, im not sure if it is my period early or spotting its really weird it's like brownish-red. I know they say any antibiotic u can get a yeast infection after esp after flagyl could it be that even though it is brown????
Avatar m tn Hi there. Well, let me first say that you are under doctors care so no one on the internet is going to offer you more insight than that. BV can be very resilient and tricky to totally eradicate. Many women have several courses of treatment before it is fully gone. USUALLY BV does not itch. It is not known for that. Do you think you have yeast as well?? Something fungal? You did take an antibiotic (amoxicillin) and those are well known for causing yeast infection.
