antibiotics and yeast infections and yogurt

i have had an infection and just finishes.antibiotics unfortunatley they havent cleared it.

I have herpes and i have to take antibiotics for it almost everyday to keep it from recurring,but this gives me non stop yeast infections. i am in pain everyday and nothing i do helps. i haven't had sex with my husband for 3 months straight. i am in a lot of pain. i would stop taking the anti,but i cant b/c my herpes breakouts are terrible! PLEASE help i answers badly..thank you!

Most likely a yeast infection, those IV antibiotics are pretty heavy duty. Eat lots of yogurt and call your doc, usually they will just call something in for you.

if it is due to taking antibiotics, try eating plain yogurt while taking the antibiotics...this will prevent a yeast infection from even begining.

When i applied it..y lady part was on fire!!! It itches and burns like crazy....i hate yeast infections...im balling my eyes out!!! Have you ladies gone through the same thing?

I am worried about the potential of a yeast infection and was curious if it is safe to take multi-enzyme digestive enzymes, which are 100% vegetarian based. I know the benefits of eating yogurt, but to be very honest, it is making my stomach turn over the idea of eating it now. It is one of my new food aversions. I have taken these enzymes in the past and they have 100 million live lactobacillus acidophilus cells in it, which should be great for preventing yeast infections...can you advise?

I am quite prone to yeast infections, so what I do is take an AZO yeast pill and eat some yogurt every day. If you have been on antibiotics that would do it. The antibiotics kill all bacteria (even the good ones) and that is why we are more likely to get a yeast infection after being on antibiotics.

What about just eating a lot of garlic? I love it. I even have to stay away from sugar and yeast b/c I get infections so bad. Since I've been pregnant I've been eating a lot of both b/c its the only thing I can stand eating. I'm almost over the sick feeling stage so I can cut those two things out and hopefully have a good rest of the pregnancy. I'm sure the sugar and yeast led to the viral infection too.

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 ??

s not harmful at all. As for the yeast infections, some antibiotics taken over a period of time can cause yeast infections. My mother suffers with these often and she has started taking a probiotic. It evens out the good and bad bacteria in your vagina. Also, if you douche, stop. This rids your downstairs of ALL bacteria, good and bad. And you need the good. I've never heard of anyone being allergic to semen, but I guess thats always a possibility.

d and its been itchy for a couple of days down there, I was looking on the internet and it said both antibiotics and pregnancy both can cause yeast infections, and my symptoms are those of a yeast infection... I just don't know what to do, I already have an OB appointment for Nov. 14th.. I need help what do I do..???

If so, This will be my 3rd yeast infection in about a month. First time it was a yeast infection and BV. Doctor believes the 2nd yeast infection came from the antibiotic for BV. I just feel like I'm getting the symptoms again and I really hope not. This can't be healthy for me or my baby. It's driving me crazy!!! Anybody else going through this? I'm 17 weeks ftm!

I went to the ER for and ingrown toenail infection and the doctors put me on antibiotics safe for the baby, and now I have a yeast infection.. and I have a doctor's appointment Monday for the pap smear and all that jazz. The question is have any of y'all ladies ever had a yeast infection while being pregnant, or from a pregnancy in the past, recent or your current pregnancy now... and how did you get it to go away? Also can it do damage to your baby?

Many women will take an antibiotic for something like strep and then end up with yeast infections. They end up taking anti-fungals then to clear that up. I don't know how to get your body back in balance. You could try reading some holistic health books. Perhaps they have suggestions.

i am prone to yeast infections and almost positive that i have a uti currently. i know the recommended remedy for this is a course of antibiotics, but they will give me a yeast infection. (normalyl once i get a yeast infection i can;t get rid of it for weeks/months.) can i treat the uti naturally?

Many people mistake a bacterial infection and other infections as a yeast infection, treat it as a yeast infection and see no results. Please don't just go buy an over the counter cream with out consulting with your doctor or midwife.

Antibiotics kill all bacteria in your system, even the beneficial, digestive bacteria allowing for an overgrowth of the yeast (yest infections of various sorts). For this reason it is recommended that you eat a lot of live culture yogurt when taking an antibiotic. In some cases, probiotics are needed to replenish the necessary, digestive bacteria. I hope that helps you some.

Frozen yogurt does not have the life cultures in it that regular yogurt does. It wont regulate your PH balance.

Hey I have had a UTI and had to take antibiotics.... BUT with my first baby boy I had a urinary tract infection every single doctor's appointment that I went to =( I had to take antibiotics the whole time (for 8 months) and he was perfectly healthy except for a little jaundice (but being born at 36 weeks he was really healthy) and besides the stomach aches and vomiting that the antibiotics caused it really did no harm =) I hope you feel better soon!

Yeast infections are common in pregnancy, but is your Dr checking (like with a microscope) to make sure it is in fact yeast each time? Or are they just refilling without seeing you?

You can try eating a good bit of yogurt I've heard it helps a lot! And people also put yogurt around your lady parts and its supposed to help. Sounds kinda weird I know but I've hears it many times. I would think you could definitely take antibiotics though...

If you can eat yogart then do so.....any time I'm put on antibiotics I eat a ton of yogurt bc I'm get yeast infections easily. :) there are probiotics that help prevent yeast infections in yogurt.

eating yogurt is helpful with yeast infections. Are you taking any antibiotics, perhaps for acne? They can cause yeast infections. Also oral sex can cause yeast infections if your partners mouth has a high population of yeast. The pH of your vagina may be off as well. Vagisil has an over the counter screening kit to test pH. If you have only tried over the counter stuff for your infections you need to go see a doctor to get it straightened out! Good luck!

I was just told to use the over the counter creams and such but you can also try to eat more yogurt, it has good bacteria in it that helps combat yeast infections. I have one now and it is so annoying!

Bear with me, this worked for me in 2 days; I researched all kinds of home remedies. I was getting UTI's and would take antibiotics and I would get yeast infections. One was so bad I just couldn't get rid of it and it was BAD. I researched homeopathic solutions and this worked for me, fast. First, I douched with a very diluted vineger douche;(bought it at Walmart. It might burn a little.
