Avatar f tn m more interested if anyone has tried and true methods to get rid of stubborn yeast infections. Thanks for your response, Cassandra, I forgot to mention I had been to the dr :-/ oops! They tested and it is definitely a yeast infection.
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 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 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). I swear the yogurt helped. I was cleared up pretty quickly. Monostat doesn't work as fast as diflucan, I had discharge for about 5 days after it but between that the yogurt, cotton underwear changed often, it went away.
Avatar f tn I've been taking Keflex and Prednisone for an ear infection that I've had for 2 months (this is my 3rd antibiotic in the last 2 months) and I have developed a very red rash starting right below the opening of my vagina, the skin beside it(kinda the start of my ver inner butt cheek), all the way up to my anus. The rash is itchy and sore (esp on my anus). It looks like a severe diaper rash. I've seen this type of rash on a friends child who had an external yeast infection.
Avatar m tn What is the usual dosage for treatment of toenail fungus with Diflucan? My doctor prescribed it to me and it just seems to be different than normal. He said to take 100 mg/daily for the first 10 days of each month until it's gone. Is that a normal regimen?
Avatar f tn The monistat may not be strong enough for you. You may have to go to a Gyn and get diflucan and kill the yeast infection. It stays in your system for seven days and you'll be sure to get rid of the yeast. Symptoms usually go away within the 24 hrs after taking the antibiotic pill. Its a 1 dose.
Avatar f tn I went otc and got a one day monistat treatment (which has the highest dose of all the treatments, 1200mg) and it came with external cream. For 5 days I felt amazing with zero itching or discharge. I felt like a normal person however day 6-7 the symptoms returned. I applied the external cream and viola once again the symptoms of itching went away. Is it safe to say I have the worlds worst yeast infection? What can I do?? I can't go on living like this ...
1472764 tn?1287588186 I'm 16 weeks and I'm suffering from a horrible yeast infection. I took 7 days of terazol and 3 days of monistat. Neither helped. Creams usually don't on me. Diflucan is the only thing that works but my dr. said he doesn't prescribe it during pregnancy. I'm so sick of it. I'm miserable. Has anyone ever taken diflucan when they were pregnant? What are the side effects to the baby?
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 Yes it's safe after 12 weeks. I am on round 2 of my dose. I am a rare case and I get VERY bad yeast and BV infections which cause bladder retention and usually have to get catherized for a week. I've had a cath 4 times this pregnancy and i'm only 16 weeks! I just took diflucan again yesterday and have another dose I will be taking in 3-5 days if the symptoms are still here. When I'm not pregnant I use oil of oregano orally for yeast.
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 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 f tn This is the only thing you can use during pregnancy to get rid of a yeast infection, and unfortunately, its not a pill you take orally. They are inserts that you use vaginally.
Avatar f tn See a naturopath or ask you doc for a natural treatment for your yeast infection -- there are several. Or, when you finish your course of your pharmaceutical treatment, start taking a good refrigerated probiotic to replenish your stores of beneficial flora and for a while, avoid sugar and things that turn to sugar quickly in the body, such as potatoes and white flour. Yeast and bacteria love sugar.
Avatar f tn Oh ... yeast infections and pregnancy ... talk about adding insult to injury, as if we weren't uncomfortable enough! I have been lucky so far, but am usually plagued with yeast infections the whole time. Eating yogurt does help, but I also found that taking a daily acidophilus pill can really help as well. You probably want to check with your doc, but as it is simply live bacteria (same as in yogurt) it should be just fine.
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 Did any body get a yeast infection within the first couple months of pregnancy?
Avatar f tn I finished up a 10 day course of antibiotics for a sinus infection like a week and a half ago. I have never had a yeast infection before. As a matter of fact, I am 30 and have never been to a gynecologist. I have big time anxiety regarding going to doctors. Anyway, is this something I need to go regarding? And would I have to go to a gyno or could a regular doctor handle this? It has been almost 3 months since the last time I had sex and he used a condom. What could this be?
Avatar m tn I just went to the Doctor yesterday and confirmed via swab that I still have yeast. I still have rawness in 1 spot/ some anal itching. I've used 14 days clotrimazole, 4 doses diflucan, and now 7 days terazol. The doctor told me to do 1 more dose terazol and diflucan once a week. I don't think this will solve anything. I'm sure as soon as i stop the terazol it will come right back. BTW, I use student health services and although she is an MD, she is not a gyno. Any advice?
Avatar n tn If you have insurance your dr can call you in a one time dose of diflucan or you can do the monistat as cassandra19 suggested
Avatar n tn You can probably even take a few days off of using any of the cream. The diflucan will still be working in your system, so you should just let things heal.
4928337 tn?1362751166 I have just gotten it for a yeast infection. Creams do not work and its been so persistent he prescribed me this pill. You take it once. I have never had yeast.
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 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.
319167 tn?1193852839 Are you it for a vaginal yeast infection? Did you only take the one pill? It should be out of your system within a week. If it's for a vaginal yeast infection (I ask this b/c they prescribe it for oral yeast infections as well), I would suggest that you don't have sex until everything clears up....
