Common Questions and Answers about Diflucan for male yeast infection

diflucan

Avatar n tn Yes you can also ask your doc for an oral diflucan too to try to clear it up. also fyi - if this is a recently acquired hsv2 infection for you genitally, it won't show up on a std panel this quickly. vagintis can trigger hsv2 to shed. avoid sex at this point until a few days after she's completed her yeast treatments. is she on daily suppressive therapy to lower your risk?
Avatar m tn Yeah, the Fluconazole I'm taking is just a generic brand of Diflucan. So taking a single dose of Diflucan usually gets rid of your yeast infection? Lucky, haha. I'm on day 11 right now of taking Diflucan and I can't say its doing anything. I've heard that taking probiotics while taking antibiotics is also good for avoiding yeast infections, especially Acidopholous (which is the bacteria found in yogurt naturally).
Avatar m tn I was diagnosed with a male yeast infection which I got from my ex who was also diagnosed with the same. The Doctor prescribed Nystatin which I applied 3 times a day for 10 days. After which the infection symptoms reappeared after masturbation. The Doctor said it is tough to get rid of especially in the summer with the heat and humidity. So he prescribed what he called a stronger topical cream ketoconazole; which I applied for 14 days once a day.
Avatar n tn I took an std test for chlamydia and gonnorea and they both came back negative but the doctor gave diflucan thinking it might be a yeast infection. It worked for about a week and then the burning came back. The doctor then gave me doxycycline( 10 days 2 pills easch day) and said that this should work. It works a little but he said it might take a week and its been six days. I have a couple of questions. 1.

12182312 tn?1427683956 Hi guys. I'm suffering so bad here. I have a horrible yeast infection. I went to my doctor and she prescribed diflucan and also clomitozole?? (Sp)...I am so itchy and sore I want to cry. Should I try monistat 7. Or wait out the diflucan?. What works for you?
Avatar f tn I actually took yeast pills, azo makes them and that worked best for me.
Avatar n tn So I've had a yeast infection since I found out I was pregnant. My doctor finally gave me a prescription to get diflucan. But my insurance want pay for it because they he said it is a risk for the baby. Has this happened to anyone else? Or have you taken diflucan and everything turned out fine? Not to mention she only prescribe me 2 pills one every 24 hours and that's it.
Avatar n tn It is true antibiotics can cause thrush for some people. But I am curious if your partner was treated for the yeast infection because if he wasn't then you will simply keep passing it back and forth to each other. You both need to be treated at the same time, and wait until you are both clear before resuming sexual intercourse.
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 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.
Avatar f tn She recommended a gyn doctor that is good with diseases but he is no longer at the hospital she sent me too. I am constantly getting creams and diflucan for the yeast infections. I feel that my gyn is not meeting my need. I do not want to live on the creams and diflucan. I heard about a gyn on the radio that I would like to go to. I will make an appointment with her. I never took diflucan long term. I will get two diflucans at one time.
Avatar f tn The urologist said to try diflucan first to see if it is a yeast infection, then  if the symptoms persisted, take medication for possible trichomoniasis infection. If that didn't work then he would have to do a visual inspection with a camera scope. I took a test for trichomoniasis (urine NAA test) and that came back negative as well. My last 3 partners have also tested negative for all STDs, including trichomoniasis.
Avatar f tn since then i have been to my gyno who cultured my yeast infection and said best medication for it was diflucan, so he also prescribed me to diflucan for 7 days-never went away. then he again prescribed me diflucan 150 once for 3 weeks. never went away!!! this is my first yeast infection so i dont know why diflucan will not cure me. i am 22 years old, smoke and drink on the weekends, work out regularly, work nights, recently pretty stressed.
Avatar f tn I have had a yeast infection for a year now. The doctors cannot get it to go away. I've been through ten plus Diflucans no results and suppositories no results. But my yeast infection only started after I took lamictal. Has anyone else had this problem? How did your doctors get your yeast to go away?
Avatar f tn It sounds as though it could possibly be herpes? You could google herpes and see what they look like and compare to what you have. Have you been to an obgyn? I would definitely suggest that. If it was a yeast infection the diflucan and creams should have worked. I"ve never heard of open sores with a yeast infection. I hope you start to feel better soon. I know it must be very painful. Let us know!!
Avatar n tn I went to dr she said had yeast infection tested it on microscope and got treated with diflucan it went away and had sex and three days later i got another one. Could it be something else..
Avatar f tn Does anyone know how long it usually takes for a yeast infection to clear up? I just popped my second week of Diflucan, and my symptoms are much better. My red, irritated, itchiness is gone...just stuck with that gross cottage cheese-like discharge. How long does it take to go away?
475187 tn?1208154768 ve search on the internet and i found out about the Diflucan, that according to them will get rid of the yeast infection for just one dose, so we bought it and me and my husband took it, but it's been 3 days now and i still have the white discharge, does anybody tried Diflucan before? and how long it will take effect? or does it mean that it will not work on me? i don't want to try creams because it's messy.
Avatar n tn Thank You. Would it be uncommon for this yeast infection to still be around? Or could it be something else? I can't even relate these symptoms to anything else.
Avatar n tn there are stronger medications your doctor can give you for a yeast infection like diflucan. it's just one pill. ask for that instead of buying over the counter stuff.
Avatar m tn The 1st time he suspected a yeast infection, so he gave me a rx for diflucan. I took that for 1 week, along with topical yeast creams....nothing changed for the most part. I went back the 2nd time and the dermatologist prescribed an oral antibiotic (cipro). I have been on that for 2 days and ever since taking the cipro, the white patch is now becoming "hardened" in a sense. The white patch seems to be "keratinizing" if that makes sense.
Avatar m tn also, i asked them about using diflucan for yeast and they said they have never had to give diflucan to a male for treatment. i dont know what is going on, maybe i should go see a new doctor. just wondering, what would be used to cure the trich?
