is metronidazole for yeast infections

So I started this a couple days ago and today I had a heavy amount of sticky discharge. This isnt normal for me. So I was wondering if this has happend to anyone else. Is it just the antibiotic clearing the infection.

I took it for bacterial vaginosis with my 2nd child and was fine but I wasnt aware that yeast infections needed such an aggressive treatment like that. My OB has always told me to use Monistat 7 for any yeast infection ive had. Is there a reason why theyre prescribing flagyl as a first option?

Are you on the pill? I used to have chronic yeast infections for years in my early twenties. Like you, I followed my doctor's advice and was very careful but nothing helped until I stopped taking the pill (it has something to do with the artificial estrogen). So if that could be the reason, you might want to talk to your doctor about alternative methods of contraception.

My dischrage was milky but itchy. And my vaginal area was red. For the yeast i have cotromazole cream. Discharge is like cottage cheese. Both bv and yeast is uncomfortable. My sugar is normal so i guess its all due to hormones. I dont use undeewear at home and keep my privy dry as possible.

the brownish/or blood discharge went away, but now I'm not sure if I have a yeast infection or if it is still the bv? there seems to be alot of discharge still its not brownish or blood anymore it's yellowish-clear but it itches down there. My period is late and it is NEVER late. I have always had regular on time periods, never late or early, never spotting except 4 when I had something wrong. Doesn't the BV medicine can cause yeast infections right?

and Iam a clean person I take care of myself very well ,,, but im getting a odor down there like a fishy kind of smell and this is a first...is it from the medicine?I heard you get yeast infections from the penicillen so far Ive never had a yeast infection nor a UTI..so Im really unsure what it could be. the symptoms include : a fishy smell , and dryness. also a tad painfull when i wash that area with soap.

I'm 25 weeks pregnant my doctor prescribed me Metronidazole Vaginal Gel for a bacteria that I have, has anyone else taken this during a pregnancy ? I'm really scared I've read about women who've lost their baby by taking this gel I'm really scared I called my OB and I asked him if its safe for the baby and he said it is but I'm really concerned about this, its my first baby too. I need Help anyone ??

Over the counter treatments are allowed while prego

Has anyone was treated for bacterial vaginosis infection or yeast infection during first trimester? What medicine is safe to take for treating these two infections during 12w of pregnancy? My OB has prescribed me fluconazole 150 mg (one tablet only) for yeast infection and metronidazole 500 mg (to take for seven days) to treat bacterial vagnosis infection. She said it is safe however I am still hesitating. Please I need your advices.

at this point it's best to be following up with your provider when you have symptoms of yeast to get properly tested to make sure yeast really is the issue. sometimes breaking the yeast cycle is hard so it's best for a proper follow up and testing. bc pills can also add to these issues. you might need to try a different brand to see if that helps too.

Is everything just super irritated down there from the BV, yeast infection, boric acid, and Metronidazole? Like urethritis? Or is all this the BV worstening now that I'm no longer on any medication for it?

Monilia (Yeast) Infection There is normally a small amount of yeast (Candida albicans) present in the vagina. A yeast infection occurs when there is an overabundance of yeast, often caused by a change in the pH balance of the vagina. Yeast infections are not usually sexually transmitted.

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.

Flagyl is normally used to treat BV and Macrobid is normally used to treat bladder infections and UTIs and fluconazole is used to treat yeast infections commonly known as oral diflucan I understand your pain I feel as though I end up with one every month I've even went as far to brew peppermint tea and make a nice douche with that it helps with the smell the celestial seasons work best one bag peppermint and one bag chamomile nice combination plus also use providine iodine to make your own

I agree that Vancomycin is an option instead of the metronidazole. Although Vancomycin also has it side effects. It is the next drug in line if you want to continue the drug route. It won't cause peripheral neuropathy. It is something to discuss. Yes a "friendly" yeast is a good addition to the probiotics. Since you are being treated right now with Nystatin. It may kill of the yeast for now but after the Nystatin is finished it will be a good addition. Some things to think about.

Is that for yeast infections? Sorry the name is generic I think so I am guessing. Is it a one day?

you need to continue going back to be properly tested for yeast and bacterial vaginal infections. you can also ask them to swab you externally to send for testing for yeast too. bv can come back. you need proper testing to find out what is going on.

Having had 5 negative cultures for trichomonas, plus repeated treatments for it (including tinidazole, which is superior or metronidazole), it is exceedingly unlikely that trichomonas is the problem. The same is true for chlamydia, gonorrhea, or other STDs. The most common cause of vaginal discharge is bacterial vaginosis, but that syndrome virtually always is accompanied by an obvious fishy odor and the discharge usually is gray/white, not yellow.

Thanks for your reply. I am definitely not pregnant and not diabetic. I have been doing the anti-yeast diet for two weeks and I'm seeing improvements, but I'm definitely not healed. This is incredibly frustrating!!

So I have been having this recurring vaginal infection that I don’t know what it is. It is not BV, yeast or UTI. After my period I have yellow tacky discharge with a foul odor and then the discharge varies in color from cloudy white to yellow throughout the month My main concern is the odor. Every time I sit next to a person their sniffs and holding their noses, my roommate does it a lot.

For yeast infections I was always given either monistat or fluconazole. A bacterial infection like BV would require metronidazole (flagyl).

I have never tested for it, but I have taken metronidozole twice just in case. Im starting to think that my wife is having yeast infections because of me. I'm just ready to resume normal life because this has been bothering me for some time now. It also feels like I have a slight pressure feeling right above the pubic arae. The pubic area itches more than often as well. Am I over reacting? Can I take Diflucan?

Hi thanks for the advice. The discharge is brown now could that still mean a yeast infection ?

But ive been having flank pain is it possible i have all three UTI,BV,and small yeast infection? If so would the metronidazole for my BV cure the UTI?

This didnt help and a week after I went for another follow up with the same doctor, This time while he was examining me, because I was still showing those symptoms, he told me that he sees like it was a Yeast infection(that is for the second time I was diagnosed with this but with first time, Fluconazole didnt help) I was again prescribed a Metronidazole (4 tablets at once) and a vaginal cream terconazole.
