My doctor prescribed me metronidazole because of my yeast infection but I'm really "iffy" about taking it because I don't want to harm my baby. Have any of u guys taken metronidazole while pregnant ?
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?
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 ??
Sounds like a yeast infection. Was it antibiotics that you were on? I never got yeast infections until i got pregnant and took antibiotics.
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.
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.
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.
And BV usually improves, at least transiently, with metronidazole or tinidazole. And yeast infections always are a consideration for unexplained vaginal discharge, although your symptoms are not typical for yeast. Most physicians would have evaluated you for yeast BV, but you might check back with them to be certain.
I visited the doctor Monday with a vaginal infection and was given Metronidazole to start taking. I went back for results Wednesday and I was confirmed to have BV. My doctor then gave me Erythromycin to take (2, twice a day)... as well as the Metronidazole (3, three times a day). This seems like an awful lot of antibiotics. Why was I given Erythromycin, when from as far as I can tell, Metronidazole alone is the recommended treatment for BV?
Hope someone can shed some light on this.
Thanks!
OK that's for yeast infection. so now you have been given treatment for everything.. antibiotic, antiparasitic, anti-fungal.
Staph infection is very common, it also depends on the type of Staph. because that type of bacteria is commonly present in our body.
Also test the vaginal PH, if the value is altered, it can be the reason why your body isn't fighting the infection properly. mind the clothes you use, the water, everything.
t tell you why. Yeast infections can occur wherever conditions are right for them and if your immune system, mainly your beneficial probiotic organisms, are no longer a healthy colony. Guess what disrupts them the most? Antibiotics.
For yeast infections I was always given either monistat or fluconazole. A bacterial infection like BV would require metronidazole (flagyl).
She prescribed a vaginal gel, Metronidazole, for the BV. After one use of the BV I constantly felt like I had to pee no matter if I went to the bathroom or not. I stopped using the Metronidazole. The next day, Friday, I still had somewhat frequent urination, but not like the side effects of the Metronidazole. I couldn't get a hold of my family practitioner, so I tried a daily boric acid suppository for the BV starting Friday night. The following day, Saturday, I had symptoms of a UTI.
Its typical for a doc to swab which tells them if you have vaginitis. The three main causes of vaginitis are infections like bacterial vaginosis, yeast, or the trichomoniasis.
recently, my wife has been having frequent yeast infections. Her doctor confirmed it was yeast and gave her Didlucan 150mg. She would take over the counter yeast infection medication and it would go away and seems to come back maybe a week or two later after we have sex(unprotected). She has had her annual pap and described symptoms to her doctor. Her doctor stated that she was fine because if it was something else, yeast medication would not have releaved her symptoms.
I have lower back pain as well and also before this I did have a yeast infection but my yeast infections never burn and itch this bad. I also had an early and heavy period. Could this be from taking a plan b or from stopping the pep medicine? I’m going to the doctors tomorrow but it’s so bad I can’t take it. If I have an std then that means he lied about the test and is showing me someone else’s results which could also mean I contracted hiv as well. Im really scared and I regret everything.
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?

Its for genital infections. A doctor prescribe it to me because i was having heavy discharge. Am hesitant to take it bacause he did not check what am really having.
After an entire cycle, I went to the gyno and got a swab which was a positive for BV and Yeast. I was given one dose medicine for the yeast and a week prescription of metronidazole of two tablets per day. The yeast and BV seemed to go away, but while taking this I began spotting again- my period had lasted three days prior to taking this medicine and then 14 days in I had brown bloody discharge, then clear discharge with bleeding then what looked like a light period!
