Avatar f tn Has anyone ever taken fluconazole? It's a tablet you take (only one) for yeast infection. My pharmacist said it's not for pregnant women but when I called the doc and told him what the pharmacist said he said it was ok to take. Has anyone else been prescribed this? I'm worried.
Avatar f tn Is there any home remedies that are safe in pregnancy to get rid of a yeast infection? I have already had it twice ans took that one day pill form of it. Just found out its listed as category c so that kind of annoyed me how my dr just acted like it was completely safe. I also really dont want to shoot medicine up there because it just sounds really difficult... any suggestions??
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 f tn I'm 11wks also nd I think I have a yeast infection,, I took a fluconazole pill nd I'm using anti itch cream hopefully it goes away soon !
869568 tn?1248372915 I think I might have a yeast infection or bacterial infection. I don't know for sure though. I made an appt with my doctor this morning around 10:45am so we'll see. I wondered, though, have any of you ever experienced this during pregnancy? Is this dangerous? I had a yeast infection once before a looooooooooong time ago and was treated with cream; is that safe during pregnancy?
Avatar f tn Also, if this was a fungal/yeast infection, would 4 weeks of fluconazole usually shift it if it's not resistant?
Avatar f tn Recently I came down with an upper respiratory infection and the doctor prescribed me a penicillin to clear it up. I told the doctor that I had a yeast infection the last time I took an antibiotic. I purchased a probiotic but didnt take it till after the 3rd day of medication and the damage was done already. I got a yeast infection and I have had one before due to antibiotics so I knew what it was.
Avatar f tn I have been dealing with a yeast infection that will only go away for about a week at best and then it comes right back. I have been to the doctor several times. And have been given fluconazole. I had a swab done after it came back twice, and it is just the normal yeast treatable with fluconazole. Well, it came back a 3rd and 4th time. My pcp gave me a few more pills and told me to take them once a week for a month to see if that was enough to kick it. Well, it’s back, again.
Avatar f tn Cutting sugar is good for insulin/glucose issues but I’m not sure it’s going to help with yeast infection. How old are you? Do you take birth control pills?
Avatar f tn So doctor said I have a yeast infection because my discharge is smelling funny. How many of you have taken fluconazole 150mg and have been just fine? They say there is risks taking it but that it's safe. I'm 30w0d.
Avatar f tn My doctor diagnosed me with a yeast infection two days ago. I took the one pill of Fluconazole she prescribed to me tuesday night. My itching has gone down very very slightly but the discharge and the redness are still in full swing. When should I start to feel better? Also: another question, my period is here so how should I deal with that plus a yeast infection? Any information is greatly appreciated!
Avatar f tn Anyone has been prescribe terconazole for yeast infection? I'm 40w + 1day I'm 1ct dilated. Doctor prescribed it to me but I'm concerned to used it. Since I'm due any day now.
Avatar m tn There are some black and reddish rashes and burning sensation for 1 month! Doctor said its just a yeast infection and gave me 30 days medication! and 8 weeks Fluconazole 400 mg per week and an anti bacterial cream to apply on the penis head twice a day!! but i still feel that burning sensation occasionally and when i apply that cream that burning sensation is little bit higher!! How long it will take to cure yeast infection or bacterial infection on inner skin of penis head?
Avatar f tn I just talked to my OB about a yeast infection today. He perscribed me the same single dose pill. He said the pharmacy thinks it shouldn't be allowed but he said it was okay.
Avatar m tn A month ago I self diagnosed and treated a yeast infection based on my previous yeast infection (diagnosed by a doctor a few years ago). I treated with Monistat (miconazole)cream, which mostly cleared up my symptoms. I still felt somewhat irritated down there so I went to the doctor. She took a swab sample that came back negative for yeast/bacteria/gonorrhea/chlamydia.I felt fine for 2 weeks, then felt intense burning during intercourse . A few days after that, the itch was back.
Avatar f tn I just finished taking Prednisone 2 days ago. And now I have a yeast infection. Is it safe to take Fluconazole now?
Avatar m tn Your itchiness in the genital area is highly likely to be caused by a fungal problem called Thrush. Your groin joint pain and back pain may be due to arthritis or from urinary infections or bowel problems. You can get itchiness and soreness in the groin area in the folds of skin if you are overweight.
Avatar f tn Hi everybody..im entering wk 11 tomorrow and for the past week i noticed that i may have a yeast infection..im pretty sure that that's what it is i used to get them quite often. My primary dr used to prescribe me some pills b/c the 1 fluconazole pill never works & i can't use the creams. I haven't seen an OB yet my 1st appt isn't until sept 4 but i can't wait that long i was thinking of goin to the er later.
Avatar f tn I have a yeast infection (though it is hardly bothersome at all.. 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 For yeast infections I was always given either monistat or fluconazole. A bacterial infection like BV would require metronidazole (flagyl).
Avatar m tn I have heard there are diets that help with this. Certain foods you should stay away from. I can't think of where I saw it.. When I get a yeast infection I have to take the pill for it. The I am allergic to the creams or something. Are they sure it is just a yeast infection and not something else?
Avatar n tn I have a red and itchy vagina and I have some white discharge that smells yeast-y. I also have bumps that are fleshed colored and appear to be under the skin. These symptoms have been occurring for some time now and I've been tested for std's and they turned out negative. And my pap smears came up normal. I'm currently being treated with fluconazole (oral). Do I have an infection or disease? How do I get rid of these bumps? Are they related to a yeast infection?
Avatar f tn Based off the symptoms I was having they told me that I had a yeast infection-(I had one about three months ago). They prescribed me fluconazole. I took it and felt better, but went back into my gynecologist for a follow up on Thursday(my symptoms were almost completely gone at this point.) They took a swab and said it the results said no it wasn’t a yeast infection, but she said yes she was sure I had had one. I took she told me to take the second dose of fluconazole, which I did that day.
