Diflucan for fungal infection

Common Questions and Answers about Diflucan for fungal infection

diflucan

Avatar f tn was found during my annual) and my dr (who is new and i do not normally see) prescribed me diflucan for 12 weeks, one pill, once a week. I have never heard of this or treated a yeast infection with diflucan like this before and am starting to think this doctor I saw was a quack/slave to drug company kind of doctor. Has anyone ever been prescribed diflucan this way?
Avatar f tn I have had uti since 2 years old (kidney reflux) that turned into to major kidney stone problem and I was infected with ESBL ecoli. For the past 2 years I have a fungal infection in my urine. I have had 6 rounds of diflucan to no avail. My urology dr is at a loss. Should I be seeing an infectious disease dr at this point? When I take diflucan I feel better quickly. Once I stop within a few days I feel terrible again. They prescribe diflucan for 14 days. Had it 6 x’s. Always comes back.
12182312 tn?1427683956 I agree with above. Typically that medication works really well (and usually really pretty quickly). If it doesn't, I'd see your doctor for follow up. You are under doctor's care for the fungal infection, so continue that path rather than self medicating. I would try some probiotic yogurt to help though---- I eat Dannon Activia. I believe it helps.
Avatar f tn Im on my last day of a 3day cream for yeast infection and why havnt I had any relief?
Avatar f tn Hi! Yes, yeast can and does cause a rash and itching/burning sensation. Typically the areas affected are the groin area and under the breasts. Sometimes under the belly if there is a bit of extra "fluff". Nystatin powder of Tegretol shampoo can work very well in these areas. Diflucan is a great drug for treating yeast that's "everywhere". Colonoscopy won't cause yeast or GI problems, but is often done because of pre-existing GI problems. Hope this helps!
Avatar f tn Hi sounds like you got a fungal infection for the oral. but since your married test for syphilis, herpes and gono at the correct window period for her protection.
20797525 tn?1510602613 Every visit ending the same with a prescription for Diflucan, topical nystatin and steroid cream or drying powders. NOTHING WORKS. The snowball doesn't stop there. About three to four months ago, let's say August, is when I started having vaginal yeast, BV, UTI's, infection after infection. I have tried every single medication under the sun with not a day of relief. Every doctor I go to looks me over, does some tests, and ALWAYS sends me home with Diflucan or another treatment.
Avatar n tn No prostate exam, just a brief physical exam of the genital area. I get the impression he doesn't believe it goes beyond fungal infection. I'm just hoping the diflucan will have wrapped all this up by next Monday...
Avatar m tn Please Help me. i had red, itchy, swell penis forehead last year & i gone to doctor and he tested me for HIV 1&2 antibodies, VDRL, HERPES simplex virus 1&2 IGG-IGM & TSH and all test came normal (negative). Then my doc told me that it is candidal balanoposthitis & he gave me fusidic acid cream with terbinafine cream and some tablets for infection & infection cured 70% but itching never gone.
Avatar f tn They didnt want me to talk diflucan that early. I am the same way as u. Nothing works but diflucan for me. so i know how u feel.
Avatar m tn By this time my wife had come down with a yeast infection. I went back to the doctor and he gave me some diflucan. After 3 days the symptoms subsided, but never entirely went away. My wife's symptoms went away completely after 3 days of diflucan. I went back to the doctor again. This time he did an STD screen for clamydia and gonnorea, both negative. He gave me some z-pack antibiotic to clear up any other bacteria, and told me to continue taking the difulcan.
18966962 tn?1472601945 I have been having symptoms of a penis yeast infection for about 6 weeks now. Redness/wrinkled skin on penis tip which gets much redder/lumpy when I ejaculate then goes back to normal. I started noticing redness a few days after unprotected sex. I am circumcised as well. I went to a few different doctors and this is what I was prescribed a few different things because nothing has worked. I have no clue what to do and its really effecting me mentally.
Avatar f tn You essentially washed out the good and natural flora in your vagina and change the PH making it ripe for a yeast infection. Looked up Easton faction and unless you have the name wrong, as far as I can tell, that doesn't exist. If you have a strong odor from your vagina, you may have a bacterial infection and need antibiotics (not diflucon). If you and your partner had yeast that you were passing back and forth, the diflucan would work.
Avatar f tn In Nov. 2007 I was treating a systemic fungal infection with Nystatin and Diflucan. After the course of anti-fungals I have not had any episodes of sleep apnea.
Avatar f tn Its weird diflucan has always worked for me almost immediately idk why its not now. The itching isn't as bad anymore but now its so freaking sore): I'm gona call my midwife tomorrow if its not at least a bit better. Ugh.
Avatar m tn If GP thinks its a yeast infection he can also try supplementing with diflucan. Its difficult to keep foreskin clean. If its worse it might not be yeast infection so go back to the doctor.
Avatar f tn It is not uncommon to have blood tinged discharge when you have a yeast or fungal infection. That is irritating within and it can cause a bit of bleeding. Is the yeast infection clearing up?
Avatar m tn The reason I am asking is because I was exposed to needless antibiotics in an ER then my testicals turned red like a yeast issue, then I had 10 days of 4000mgs of Augmentin for a constipation/colon infection. Then after a week of concluding that I developed gastritis for the first time, and a thrush.
Avatar f tn I also forgot to mention that if you are sexually active you and your partner can give each other this fungal infection, for us its a yeast infection and for men its called jock itch. I had a few weeks of passing it back and forth with my partner at one time and didn't realize it. We both use a clotromizole cream and I got diflucan too and it cleared up fast. I also only use hypoallergenic baby soap when washing my feminine areas. Take care!
1573600 tn?1301974932 Hello Dr. Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. I developed intense itchiness on the left side of my groin. The first time it appeared was four months ago. It went away for a while then came back early this month. The intense itchiness in the groin continued and now it's on both sides of my groin. Initially it started as a raised wrinkled bump. It is the same color as the skin around it. There are no blisters or open sores. The area becomes inflamed and thick when scratched.
Avatar n tn My doctor gave me a cream about two months ago and helped but i came back and the cream i have now i have been using more 3 days and it has helped a little i think but hasnt cleared it up completely yet. I didnt start having the problems right after i received the oral sex. I started having the problems after i got really sick from some kind of food poisoning this summer about 2 or 3 months ago.
Dog In September last year the head of my penis was itchy, covered in little red blotchy circles, and my foreskin was a little inflamed. I could not tell if this was the result of using a new soap to wash or some kind of infection. I went to the STD clinic and was prescribed an anti fungal cream.
Avatar f tn Yes, it sounds like a fungal infection, does it have a white apprearance when you look in the mirror?. I've had this issue many times and it turned out to be a fungal infection. consult your doctor she or he will prescribe a fungal medication to take orally, probably Diflucan, good luck and let me know how things go! take care.
Avatar m tn the infection has returned three times in the past 13 months since I accidentally contracted it through sex. My dermatologist and doctors never seem to have any answers besides "continue treatment with so and so". There's only so much I can take, and it gets disparaging to hear my doctors say recurring yeast infections in males is rare.
Avatar m tn I'm a 25 year old male, and I believe that in December I have caught some kind of a yeast (or bacterial?) infection after repeatedly having protected sex with a 21 year old female (we were seeing each other regularly during December) — it first started affecting my balls and then in mid-January the irritation seemed to have moved more to the penis. I've never had unprotected sex.
Avatar f tn Hi, I am 17 years old and have had to sexual partners the first one currently I have had for two years and I have not had any outbreaks during that time .
