Avatar f tn My nurse practitioner said there are 4 types of yeast and that the usual meds only treat the most common 2 types so she did a swab test to find out what type of yeast it is. I find out Thursday so I'll keep you posted.
591071 tn?1218844457 Acedophilis is a vitamin that prevents bacterium, so you can try that along with the over the counter medicine for yeast infections, the medicine you insert into your vagina. there is also a more powerful medication u can ask your doctor to give you. It is one dose, and you insert it and the yeast should be gone within 2 days...first you have to find out what it is.
Avatar f tn Avoid bread and sugary foods as much as possible. If there is yeast in your vagina it is in the rest of your body too and sugar will just feed it. 3. Use condoms if you have sex. You CAN give a yeast infection to a guy (they usually get no symptoms) and then he will just keep passing it back to you. 4. Eat yogurt with live cultures in it - sugar free is best, but any kind helps. 5. Use pantyliners when you have an infection. Yeast can get on your underwear and you can re-infect yourself.
Avatar n tn s scratches and it burns like a mother when I pee and the urine flows downward onto it. I am on the larger side of the body size scale (about 5'6 and over 300lbs). I was trying to lose weight before this started, but I can't even walk right. I'm only itchy at night and as soon as I wake up, but I also wake up literally every 3 hours scratching. Last night I only got 3 1/2 hours of sleep (3am-630am) and finally fell asleep around noon.
Avatar f tn The first 2 times I took the diflucan pill (one time pill) n the last time I was told I can go get the over the counter monistat 7. The only time I ever get them is when I'm pregnant and by me having twins this time i have an overload of hormones surging through my body...I've had so many pregnancy symptoms...
Avatar f tn went to work the next day with more panties on and by the end of my shift i could barely walk straight so i stop whereing them completely cause the yeast infection really showed up and then the itching ..dis charge..ugh i cant stand it..but its going away since i use vaginal cream and i dont bathe with soap down there..i bathe at least. Three times. a day because it will become extremely wet out of no where and start to itch ...also keep dry dont scratch it..
Avatar n tn t happen all the times but most times when I am dry. I am 32 years old and he is 49 I have went to the doctor and I keep getting yeast infections. I use the over the counter meds fr it and sometimes the doctor prescribes me creams but it keeps coming back. Is it coming back because I gave it to him and he brings it back to me each time? He is a diabetic and is uncircumcized but he is very clean and has good hygienes in that department.
Avatar n tn I am 20 years old and I too have been suffering from recurrent yeast infections, or so says my gynecologist. What symptoms were you experiencing with your yeast infections at the time? And to what body areas did you apply Synalar?
Avatar f tn Both times I got the vagistat 3 day treatment. Also eat yogurt because the bacteria in yogurt is the good bacteria found in the vagina that eats the yeast. When that bacteria is killed off, by anti bacterials or for other reasons, it allows the over growth of yeast. I got a yeast infection last years when trying to fight a sinus infection.
Avatar f tn Extreme itchiness, swollen, red, and now burning because I woke up scratching in the middle of the night. Only sitting in the warm bath seems to ease my symptoms up. I’ve taken a diflucan pill and am now treating with a prescription cream. How is boric acid? I’m about to buy some and try it. I’m desperate!
Avatar f tn I was having servere pain in my middle back in the right side so at 1 am on the 5th I went to the er at that point was 22 weeks and 4 days they admitted me into labor and delivery where they found out the pain was due to a kidney infection they kept me on an IV with antibiotics until I was discharged this morning they sent me home with more antibiotics to take to finish fighting the infection but since I got home this morning my vagina has been kinda itchy when I itch it it hurts could that be a
Avatar f tn Thanks for the kind words, but everybody here is pretty positive -- it's one of the best things about this site. It's hard to keep the calories up to a reasonable level when eating like I have been. I cook with olive oil, and I even take an extra spoonful most days, because it's antifungal. That adds some calories right there. The eggs and chicken and fish add fat calories too, and that helps keep the energy level up.
Avatar f tn Monistat works like a charm for yeast infections! That's what my doctor told me I could take. Just over the counter. He recommended the 7-day treatment. Baby is protected by the bubble she's in, so the medication does not get to him/her. Perfectly safe! 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 how can a man get a bacterial infection in his penis and whats the symptoms and how long it can be in your body before u new u had it
6014380 tn?1378523315 Even when I had to take antibiotics as its usually the first day I take one the next morning I get a yeast infection so what I did the last time was took my antibiotics then about 10 mins later took the dufflican for the first time in my life I never got a yeast infection from the antibiotic . I am telling you it works with one but if unsure buy 2 at 150 mg and take it a week later.
Avatar f tn I think I am getting yeast infections but I don't know...
Avatar f tn weird , I'm sure it's fine .. just don't put it in there lol ...
Avatar f tn Mine seems to have been constant I ft a uti and the antibiotics cause a yeast infection it's been non stop the whole pregnancy
1168718 tn?1464983535 From what I have learnt, all yeast infections begin in the gut, so to get to the root cause of the problem you need to take a pro-biotic to redress the imbalance. I tried this once and, lo and behold , it WORKED! So while smearing cream on your nether regions may seem logical, it doesn't fix the root of the problem. Fix the gut, and the rest will sort itself out.
Avatar f tn Im 6 months pregnant and I have never had this many yeast infections in my life. I only bathe with dial soap and the doctor said I shouldnt take baths, nothing but showers. Can anybody help me with some remedies or something to help with the yeast infections ??
Avatar f tn m in my first trimester and pregnancy is already making me experience the wonderful world of yeast infections. I went to the doctor to make sure it is indeed a yeast infection and it is. He didn't prescribe me anything because he said it's too early and to wait until the second trimester, but I've heard of natural remedies, such as the garlic clove in the vagina that cures yeast infections. Has anyone tried this during pregnancy? Is it safe?
Avatar f tn It's very common in pregnancy. The 7 day treatment is the best and preferred method for pregnant women.
Avatar f tn I got treated for the infection and took the pills that the doctor provide yet the problem is still here. I continuously have a really bad odor in my vagina but its not discharge more like water. Does anyone know what is wrong with me. Its highly embarrassing. When i do have discharge its white sometimes a mild yellow. If anyone knows what is wrong please help. The smell is like a rotten smell.
Avatar n tn You should also give your husband a good probiotic and help him really keep his sugar in check. 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!
Avatar f tn Anyone else have constant yeast infections? I don't know what to do. Doctor keeps telling me monistat 7. Any natural remedies or suggestions?
1853129 tn?1319530083 Hi there Are you in a relationship?? If you are then your boyfriend may also have the infection and is reinfecting you each time . He needs to have cream to clear it up too! If you are not sexually active then I can only assume you are overwashing yourself down there. Do not soak in the bath for long periods of time with bubble bath and don't douch inside your vagina and don't use tampons at all. Wear cotton knickers and use sanitary towels.
