yeast-infection

Avatar f tn I was told I may have genital herpes. I developed a yeast infection while taking antibiotics for a sinus infection, unfortunately I didn't realize what it was and waited 5 days to go see a doctor. the last 2 days before I was seen urination was severely painful and my entire genital area was red and swollen. The day I saw the doctor I had blisters some of which had burst and were open. The doctor did no testing just diagnosed me with a yeast infection and herpes.
Avatar m tn t mention in the herpes forum. You might have an oral yeast infection triggered by the doxycycline. Stop taking it immediately and see the doc who prescribed it.
Avatar m tn Dr.- I had protected sex with stripper and the day after i noticed a burn at the tip of my penis not when i peed. I had the burn for about 4 days it went away. It came back 3 days later, my doctor gave me lavaquin for 3 days it did nothing. At the end of 3 days i had a red rash on my foreskin, now i remember seeing this rash before the incident and the day after the incident. I quickly put alcohol on it and it turned red so i put neosporene on it and the next day it was not red anymore.

Is it only yeast infection or any other bacterial infected??Please help me!!
Avatar f tn Blood test, acquired from ex husband!! Took Valtrex for a month, but now use Astragalus which works well for me most of the time.
Avatar n tn I took 5 days of Valtrex and then I took it one more time for five days when I had itching which could have been a yeast infection or HSV. Then I took no more Valtrex until the 8th month after the first test. I had developed chronic itching facial and vaginal itching so I was prescribed suppressive Valtrex for a year. I was retested at 19 months. The igGs were negative. I was tested at 22 months, the igGs were negative. I stopped taking Valtrex.
Avatar f tn ve started doubling the increased dose that my doctor called in for me. Can Valtrex cause a yeast infection? Except it feels more like herpes instead of yeast. I've also been having a sharp pain in my lower pelvic area around the time of my cycle.
Avatar m tn She said that the antibiotics probably gave me a yeast infection and perscribed me a 1 day yeaast infection pill with a 3 day cream to insert at night. The first night i inserted the cream and when i woke up in the morning i didnt feel any relief. As the day went on i began to have painful burning/itching/soreness that i thought was from the cream. When i got home from work a few hours later i noticed lesions all over my vagina again.
Avatar n tn s a good chance what you think is an outbreak is actually a yeast infection - have you been seen when symptomatic to test for yeast? All the more reason that Valtex isn't working if it's not a herpes outbreak! Fucicort is a corticosteroid cream, which would not help a herpes outbreak. Typically, it would not be recommended to be used on the genital area.
Avatar m tn I came down with what I thought was a yeast infection. I had all the common symptoms, discharge, itching, etc. I used Monistat and Diflucan which seemed to treat it, and saw my doctor for further STD testing just to be sure. She confirmed that it appeared to be a nasty yeast infection and the STD tests I had done all came back negative (except HSV1 of course). About 4 weeks later I had what I thought was another yeast infection.
Avatar n tn yes she took a swab for a yeast and bacterial infection, but she also gave me a prescription for a gel and valtrex. like i mentioned i'm very active biking, running and prone to yeast infections...and me and my boyfriend uses condoms. i asked could the redness be from scratching?
Avatar n tn Is it normal to get a recurrence so often? I am prone to yeast infections, does this mean I will be getting them every time I have a recurrence? Now I am concerned about HIV, I got tested for that about two days after I had the last sexual encounter and the result was negative but I can not get that out of my head. What do yo think about the difference in the medications acyclovir and Vatrex? My insurance does not cover much for Valtrex which I am taking as a suppressive medication.
Avatar m tn I got fluconazole from the doctor for the yeast infection, but it did not go away completely (It healed and came back several times). Both times, doctor asked me to use an antibiotic cream (mupirocin/bactroban). I used it since Nov. 2013 to Feb. 2014. The cream kind of controlled the condition (I do not know I overused it). Then I went to see my dermatologist Feb. 7 2014. He again suspected my symptoms as HSV 1/2 and ordered me to do a blood test and prescribed me valtrex for five days.
Avatar m tn Then last year November (2013), I had similar symptoms on my penis gland and under the foreskin. I got fluconazole from the doctor for the yeast infection, but it did not go away completely (It healed and came back several times). Both times, doctor asked me to use an antibiotic cream (mupirocin/bactroban). I used it since Nov. 2013 to Feb. 2014. The cream kind of controlled the condition (I do not know I overused it). Then I went to see my dermatologist Feb. 7 2014.
Avatar f tn Yeah, Im going to refrain from sex for a few days until I get my results. Grace, my first yeast infection was when I had my first outbreak, so I do not know the difference. yeast infection cause pain after sex?
Avatar f tn Now I am pregnant and my OB thought I had yeast infection and prescribed metronidazole vaginal gel .75% for 5 days. (no testing to confirm what type of infection-just visual examination) I got better then got worse with itching, pain and she prescribed monostat....but then I examined myself closer and realized it was my first re-outbreak of the HSV2. I had minor spotting and went to see my OB and she confirmed what I already knew. She told me to double my valtrex for 10 days.
Avatar n tn After 2 months of Cipro, Valtrex and Cortsol for Epstein Barr virus, I developed acute bladder infection. I was treated with Levaquin for 1 month. At the tail end of my Cipro/Valtrex/Cortisol tretment and prior to the bladder infection the tip of my penis began to be constantly in pain (as if sand paper had been rubbed on the tip. This was 8 months ago! The pain has been constant. In addition pain in my lower left quadrant began to spread and my abdomen became very distented.
Avatar n tn If your symptoms are now improving with Diflucan, and since they didn't respond to Valtrex, a yeast infection is the best bet. Let us know what your gyn says.
Avatar n tn I went to my gyne the next day and he said everything looked normal and that I had a yeast infection. I also took some valtrex the first night because I was paranoid. I have cold sores. Been taking 2 gms of valtrex for the last 3.5 days. I also have been rubbing vagisil on the area and it still remains inflammed. I have decided to get off of the antibiotics since all of this began after I took them.
6891585 tn?1385834341 Thanks for your response Life. Yes, I had the "yeast infection" swabbed multiple times, but wondered if it was too late by the time I made it to the doctor. I basically went to the two doctors & was told that I had a very irritated cervix & a yeast infection that would not seem to heal. But the yeast infection didn't have any normal, white discharge like yeast infections I had in the past. Never had any symptoms orally. Tingling, itchiness & swelling (prodrome ?
Avatar f tn Thanks Grace, Just curious, do yeast infections cause more outbreaks? I've never had a yeast infection. Another question i had was my outbreaks now tend to occur above my butt crack. Is it still possible to transmit it if i have sex with a condom since the outbreak is not vaginal? I was in a previous relationship for 4 years without Valtrex and didnt use condoms and my partner was never infected.
Avatar n tn he just put me on valtrex. im starting to think its a yeast infection because a lot of the symptoms say its a yeast infection too and i took the at home spit test for the yeast infection and it did everything it said it would do if i had a yeast infection. idk im going back tomorrow to find out whats going on.
Avatar f tn The doctor thought I had an extreme yeast infection. This rash and symptoms have been happening on and off for eight months. I have had two swabs and three blood test and ALL are negative. I even tried Valtrex which may have one worked 1/6 times i took it. This situation is driving me crazy and I am not sure what to do next. Any guidance would be very appriacted as this issue has caused me severe depression and fear.
Avatar n tn 2 weeks ago I had broncitis and treated it with an antibiotic and a steroid for 1 week. Then last week I took out my Nuva Ring, got my period for a few days, then got a nasty yeast infection. I cleared it with Monistat but I'm left with some swelling at the bottom opening, dryness and redness...it feels like papercuts. I went to the doctor today who said that I had tiny ulcers and he thinks its Herpes! He gave me Valtrex and I'll have the results in a week...I'm driving myself crazy.
Avatar f tn 2 years ago i had sex and right after I had a yeast infection and used over the counter cream I am SUPER sensitive and right after developed what I thought was an allergic reaction. I kept itching on top of the yeast infection and developed cuts. I don't think they blistered maybe some did I only had maybe 3 or 4. Went to the dr since I was on vacation right away said I looked too painful to take culture and I have herpes.
4691073 tn?1391700431 Constant itching would not be herpes related. If you have a fungal infection from the Yeast you would need some antifungal cream to help clear it up. Talk to your doc about this and the 1% cream.
Avatar f tn s causing my yeast infections and he then prescribed valtrex..
Avatar m tn I thought that I had a bad yeast infection. Then I noticed some bumps down there. I had been diagnosed with hpv a few months ago. I went to a walk in clinic and the Dr. there A. did not do a urine sample, B. tried to do an exam with out lube on my lower area thus causing so much pain I screamed, C. did a culture but said well this is a text book case of type 2 herpes and just gave me a script for Valtrex, D. He didn't even prescribe antibiotics or anything in case it was something else.
