Avatar f tn You shouldn't have retaken your normal sexual life before testing negative after receiving your treatment against chlamydia. Regarding the yeast infection, theoretically, antibiotics will attack all bacteria, including the good ones that live in the genital area. Eliminating those good microorganisms, fungi won't have competition and they will be able to develop in the area. It's what happens when people take antibiotics without any control or medical prescription.
1386448 tn?1280896286 I have several questions about the treatment of a yeast infection. I was prescribed diflucan to take two times within 5 days of each other. I did not have any symptoms of a yeast infection - other than I was having pain during sex, so therefore I refrained from intercourse with my boyfriend until I seen a doctor.
Avatar f tn I had a yeast infection and today is the last day of treatment. I want to have sex and read online that you must wait 3 days after using Monistat or the condom will be ineffective against pregnancy and STDs. What do they mean by 3 days? 72 hours? And does this mean there will be holes in the condom or it would be more susceptible to breakage?
552173 tn?1282603290 I would guess it is an yeast infection. I have heard some people say the one day treatment doesn't work. Yogurt helps, but I don't think it will make it go away unless you do a tampon of yogurt. You can look up home remidies(spelling) for yeast infections. Or try another monistat treatment.
Avatar f tn is I use toilet paper in my panties (keeps dryer than a pad) and change it every time I go when I have a yeast infection bc it keeps it dry down there...
Avatar n tn im 16 and i'm almost certain i have a yeast infection. for the past week my labia have been extremely itchy, and my discharge is pretty thick and white. there is no odor yet. i'm afraid to talk to my mom about maybe having a yeast infection because i'm really embarrassed about it. is there any way to cure or get rid of the yeast infection from home, like home remedies? please help a sista out!
Avatar m tn Hair follicles that are blocked by greasy creams, petroleum jelly, or similar products are more vulnerable to infection. Bacterial skin infections can be spread by shared cosmetics or washcloths, close human contact, or by contact with pus from a boil or carbuncle. Treatment includes antibiotics and incision and drainage and do not touch or pick them up. Also apply warm compresses on the lump. If however the symptoms persist then get lymphadenopathy or herpes ruled out from your doctor.
Avatar f tn 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 n tn I had sex with my bf on period after my period end I started to itch n I thought I had a disease for a second I went on google to search it up I thought I had a yeast infection never happen before than I use monistat big relief I was scared to tell my bf what was happening than it had stop.. Than now he's itching he think I got a disease when I told him I had sex with him n maybe the blood Bactria may cause it.. Is it because I didn't clean it right ?

Avatar n tn It sounds like a yeast infection but you should see a doctor and get tested, especially if you've never had one before.
Avatar f tn and i get a white discharge out of it sometimes.. twice my mother thought it was a yeast infection.. so i took the medicine for it.. but it never went away............... im 15 and ive kinda never had sexual intercourse. it touched. but never really went in.. and a condom was worn at the time. ive gave oral sex before which im VERY ashamed of. and i cut him. so he began bleeding and some of his blood went into my mouth. :|... i felt fine for months after that insident..
Avatar m tn what I should have typed was that yeast products (Florastor) are live micro-orgamisms, but a yeast is not a bacterium (like accidophillus etc). You're right tho, they all fall under the probie category - but the studies Ive read seem to indicate a yeast product appears to survive the journey thru the gut, moreso than the others.
Avatar f tn First try an over the counter yeast kit such as a 3 day yeast treatment like Monostat or one of the many products. If that doesn't work You will need to get a vaginal swab taken at your doctors office to find out what it is. It could be bacterial vaginosis or BV. It is pretty common to get BV as well. It can cause a discomfort, sometimes pelvic pain and discharge. It is caused by bacteria.
Avatar f tn While most of the over-the-counter yeast infection products are safe during pregnancy, it is ALWAYS best to let your doctor prescribe or recommend one.
Avatar f tn To be sure and on the safe side you should see a doctor to make sure it is a yeast infection. Unfortunately yeast infections have similar symptoms to many other things and you should be sure before treating it. Once you know there are plenty of over the counter products you can use like monistat. It's what I've used in the past. I know what you are going through and it is very uncomfortable! I hope this helps.
Avatar f tn Hi After a female touched her vagina then touched my penis and have me a hand job I had a bit of redness and dry cracked lines on the tip of my penis. I went to the doctor and they said it seems like I have a yeast infection so they gave me canistan cream and I've been using this for weeks now and the symptoms are not going away. Does anyone know why? Is it true that some yeast infections may need antibiotics if the cream are not working? Would be grateful if someone could help me. Thanks!
Avatar m tn I have done a lot of internet research and I am still confused... I have been having recurrent yeast infections for the past 8 months (about once a month) and I noticed that the very first time I ever got it it was very painful and itchy, but as its progressed over the past 7 months, they have decreased in severity and intensity. I have one right now and its not very itchy at all, just the usual discharge which also isn't very much.
Avatar f tn It might be a yeast infection. There are over-the-counter products you can use for one.
Avatar f tn If ur docs/gyno are giving u medications for a yeast infection and its not going away, its most likely not a yeast infection. Its pointing more towards an std. Ive had bad yeast infections before where i was on over the counter meds for almost a month n finally went to gyno to get antibiotics and it knocked it out within a day. Those meds are extremely stong and should get rid of it within 2-3 days tops so if its not then it sounds more like and std than a yeast infectikn.
