Avatar n tn I took an std test for chlamydia and gonnorea and they both came back negative but the doctor gave diflucan thinking it might be a yeast infection. It worked for about a week and then the burning came back. The doctor then gave me doxycycline( 10 days 2 pills easch day) and said that this should work. It works a little but he said it might take a week and its been six days. I have a couple of questions. 1.
Avatar m tn A week ago my doctor gave me doxycycline hydrate to fight off an infection that is causing me to have a itchy urethra. My doctor did not do a swap test or anything but thought i had a bacterial infection. Present day ( a week of the medication) I still feel the itchiness and am thinking that I have a yeast infection. I've heard eating yogurt can help fight it, but what about dairy free yogurt? Would eating one container of dairy free yogurt help?
Avatar m tn I saw my urologist today and he told me he thought it was a yeast infection (from the antibiotics) and prescribed me some anti-fungal / steroid cream. I've made an appt. to see a dermatologist on monday just to be sure. Essentially, I'm just wondering whether the symptoms sound like a yeast infection, or what the possibility is that it could be something else (like herpes? Could that manifest 6 1/2 months later? Would there be pain if it was herpes and not a yeast infection?).

Avatar m tn Uh, your first question should be, what was the diagnosis that led to you being put on such strong drugs? If nothing was found to be wrong, and you only mention STDs, not other infections, there would be no reason to put on antibiotics and a lot of reason not to, yet you're on two of them and you are here asking if you might have a yeast infection, something docs can look for.
Avatar m tn Sounds like a fungal infection. She may have had a yeast infection, though so mild she didn't know. Men are susceptible to yeast infections too. It is not an std so do not worry. It is actually a normal though annoying infection that can occur. Taking antibiotics would make it worse as they kill the natural bacteria that balance with the yeast in our bodies. Talk to your doctor about fungal infection...see what they say.
Avatar n tn is often used in the UK to mean yeast infection in general, whereas on this side of the Atlantic we tend to use thrush to mean oral infection only. It wasn't always that way; the change in the US seems to have evolved in connection with awareness of oral yeast as a possible indicator of AIDS. (There is nothing in your situation that raises HIV/AIDS concerns.) Whether yeast causes urethritis in men also is subject to differences of opinion on each side of the Atlantic.
Avatar m tn A woman perform oral sex on me 4 months ago, all std tests were negative, saw a uroligist, primary care and std clinic and had everything done, he even suspected Prostatitis and tested for that with miner bacterial infection he perscribed Metronidaxole, said that would kill any STD along with the previous Doxycycline. He gave me the Cephalexin too? would all these antibiotics case male yeast infection or uti? I'm still getting uretha and bladder discomfort?
Avatar m tn Gardnerella vaginitis is a common vaginal bacterial infection that affects three out of four women at least once in their lives and usually accompanies either a yeast, trichomonas or urinary tract infection. Men can be infected through sexual intercourse and can also transmit to additional partners.

Avatar m tn Thus I suspect your rectal symptoms are totally unrelated to your possible chlamydial infection and are likely due to something else- hemorrhoids being a possibility, yeast infection being another. The anal rash you report makes yeast a somewhat more likely possibility. I hope these comments help. To be honest, the evaluations and information you have reported, if not mis-understood by you, suggest that the folks who evaluated you were not sure of what was going on.
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 f tn Along with doxycycline I was out on imiquimod but I stopped yesterday because I felt as tho it was the problem along with I felt like I am gettin a male yeast infection so now I started putting lotrimin on my penis head and under and on that rash but the rash just burns. Also I am circumcised and the guy I got that oral from had no lesions on his mouth. Here are my questions 1: does this sound like genital herpes?
Avatar n tn When I returned to the states I developed a mild yeast infection after intercourse—this infection just keeps coming back. Now my boyfriend has prostatitis—likely linked to the yeast. He informed me that he ex-wife used to get yeast infections all the time. I never had a yeast problem before, despite ejaculatory sex and b.c. pills with my ex-fiancé. Could my new boyfriend have been carrying yeast from his ex and passing to me? Or is his prostatitis all my fault? P.S.
Avatar m tn My penus feels irtiated on my head of my penis and inside or something that is why I was leading to it possibly being that yeast infection. If it was that how long would it take to clear up, this long ?? I am going to go get checked tomorrow for STD's as a precautionary but was just wondering if there is something else it may be like the yeast infection or an inside infection. Thanks Dr. H. Hunter Handsfield, M.
Avatar f tn Can my boyriend also have yeast infection? he has no symptoms.. but if he doesnt get treatment will he then pass it back to me when i am cured??
Avatar n tn You can get a bacterial infection from having sex with someone who has one or just from having poor hygiene in general. What type of bacterial infection do you mean?
Avatar m tn Vance, thanks for your help. Would the flagyl treatment not have cured trich and BV if I did infact have them? My doctor said chlamydia would be impossible as no known strain of chlamydia is resistant to both azithromycin AND doxycycline. Why won't this go away! :( I was kinda hoping it was just a yeast infection after all the antibiotics I've taken, but it doesn't usually cause green discharge? I am at my wits end I just want it to go away!
