Avatar n tn I have been getting a yeast infection every month right before my period comes. This month i went to the doctor because i noticed i was having discharge and it had a bad odor. The doctor said i had BV and gave me Metronidazole, i should take it for seven days twice a day. While i was taking the pill, a yeast infection came. Then i got my period and it started to clear up. That happens every month, i get the infection, my period clears it up. The next month it happens again.
Avatar f tn Some women must take medication to prevent yeast infections while taking antibiotics. You can try over the counter remedies for yeast infections, or yogurt everyday will help replace the "good bacteria". Please seek medical advice if this does not go away. Also if you didn't get your UTI treated then it can cause more serious conditions such as kidney infections. UTI's are caused by bacteria and need to be treated with antibiotics. Good luck!!
Avatar n tn im curious because a week has passed since my period. is this a sign of pregnancy? i kind of worried. i hope somebody could help me out.
Avatar n tn Hey yall, I'm nineteen years old. I have been on BCP for about six months or so. For some reason, a week or two before my last period, I started freaking out that I might be pregnant. My period usually arrives on Day 4 of the placebo pills, but arrived a day early, stopped, and then started a few hours later. It remained for the normal amount of time. I was on medication, however, and I keep seeing differing statements about its effect on birth control.
Avatar f tn In late June I was diagnosed with my first yeast infection. I took monistat and diflucan and the infection went away quickly. A couple weeks later I got a UTI. A few days after finishing the antibiotics I began to have the same symptoms as the yeast infection and took diflucan and monistat again. A couple weeks after that irritation I experienced similar symptoms again. I took monistat for a day and I was fine.
Avatar f tn but once i itch it it goes away. I have notice when I do itch I get white stuff in my nail. I took a wet wash cloth and i whiped myself with it and the stuff on it was yellow. not a strong yellow more like a baby lite yellow. My husbane thinks it have to do with my Eggs or something. My husband and I had sex a few nights ago and I couldnt get wet. We try it again last time and I couldnt get wet again. Is it good to have sex when I know im going to be starting my period?....

Avatar n tn The less yeast he has the less yeast you will have. Also, I find that during the week before my period starts I am much more prone to yeast infections and of course if I eat a lot of sugar or drink several glasses (sometimes just 1) of wine. It takes a lot of monitoring! Good luck!
6014380 tn?1378523315 I will wake up and get the kids up for school clean and do my home stuff and by four o clock, I feel sore all over I get a fever but not all the time, nausea, chills my whole abdomen hurts and it has radiating pain feels like its my whole mid section all the way around my lower back hurts bad everyday. I have had ankle surgeries in the past so I have artificial parts in my body. Can this make it worse? Everything runs through my mind about the possibilities.
591071 tn?1218844457 The doc said yeast might be its way of cleaning the body. I hate that and wish I could find a way to get a new way. My question is how I clean my body without having a period to do it naturally.
1245078 tn?1268578722 Why am I getting yeast infections all the time? I finally get rid of it and then after about a week or so, it's back. I have followed my doctors advice thoroughly, used ALL of the medications, stopped taking baths(only showers now), wear only cotton underwear during the day and sleep without underwear at night and I still get them. To make matters worse, I get rid of a yeast infection last week, only to develop BV this week? What can I do?
Avatar f tn Seven months ago my boyfriend and I began having sex, and about two weeks later I started my period but noticed that I was having major pain and itching internally and externally towards the end of my period. I went to the OB/GYN and I did have a yeast infection for the first time ever. I wasn't on any birth control, nor taking any antibiotics, not pregnant, and the pap came back normal with no diseases.
Avatar n tn For the last few days I've had a sharp burning AFTER I finish urinating. The burning lasts a few minutes and then is gone until the next time I go. I've had a yeast infection before and the burning is similar to that, but yeast infections pretty much always burn, with redness, itching and discharge and I dont have any of that. Just the 2-3 minutes of pain after urinating. What do you think it is?
Avatar f tn Time goes on I go to the doctors office and finally have my almost a week late period and I’m relaxed for a little bit. I get the depo and my body starts feeling all outta wack. I get these little bumps on my vagina and I feel as if it’s herpes. I’m freaking out. My step mom ( A nurse) thinks it’s just a Yeast infection so I put cottage cheese and tea tree oil. It’s helped with the swollen feeling I’ve gotten and has made me feel better but I still have these bumps.
Avatar f tn ll be completely into it but still nothing happens. i dont know if this is from the yeast infections but i never had this problem before. i havent gone to my doctor about it and i havent tried any over the counter medications like monistat. im not sure if i should try switching to a different birth control. i really dont know what to do. please help!
Avatar f tn Here is the deal...my boyfriend lives in Hollywood and I live in SF. When I do see him, we have sex a lot. If I see him for 4 days, I'd say we have sex about 10 times. We've been dating for 2 years...and I get UTI's all the time! It's really annoying. This last time I saw him, I decided that I was going to be extremely adament about peeing before and after sex and drinking a lot of water throughout.
Avatar f tn Latly i been getting a lot of yeast infections i never had them before ....when my doctor gave me medicine it was a one day pill i had relief for two days then it came back so i baught a three day treatment from walgreens and its worked for a week or so and now.
Avatar f tn i had yeast probs before preg symptoms kicked in
Avatar f tn I always get yeast infections after oral sex with my boyfriend. It hasnt always been like this but after the first time i got one they have always came back after oral. We got my boyfriend a diflucan to take but it didnt seem to help. what can i do to stop these other than stopping oral sex completely.
Avatar f tn Unless as previously said, you have any other complications. I would talk to your doctor before you do anything. And like they said, anti biotics are needed for a bacterial infection. Good luck!
Avatar n tn I just wanted to mention that when I had a yeast infection before, I cut out sugars and caffeine from my diet until it stopped and to ease that unbearable itching I used a q-tip and hydrogen peroxide up along the the inside wall where it itches. A couple of minutes between times... about three or four fresh applications of peroxide at one go. Made it go away pretty fast. Then stayed very clean (partner too) and kept sugar intake down. Destress with exercise and water also sets the body right.
Avatar f tn It is the second week that I am taking valtrex, why would I get an outbreak? Will I get outbreaks each time my period starts or ends? Is it possible that I have another infection too? Thanks.
Avatar f tn today i got a blood test to see if my first test for herpes was correct, however since i am on my period my gyno would not culture down there. as of now it is believed that i have a yeast infection but i just have a bad feeling. should i call my gyno back tomorrow before this clears up and ask to be cultured anyways? or should i wait until this maybe happens again? I'm supposed to go inn next wednesday for cultures ad my results, but the cultures will be pointless then.
Avatar f tn I was already experiencing yeast infections pretty often. Since the ring it seems worse. I cant get rid of this YI. Ive tried eating yogurt a lot, eating less sugar, probiotics, vitamin d, putting apple cider vinegar where it itches. I have also tried monistat and the pill my doctor gave me for yeast. Im experiencing a watery discharge. Im 16 and my mom wont help me and i dont have many other options for birth conrtol. She doesnt know im on any.
