What is important is that you waited enough time between the last time you had sex and getting tested. do you know what they tested you for too? odds are herpes wasn't a part of your std testing. you should follow up with a type specific herpes igg blood test 3 months after the last time you had sex.
Avatar f tn Yes, you can get a yeast infection as a virgin. Women often get a yeast infection, for example. after taking certain antibiotics, which can disturb the normal healthy balance of the vagina. However, it is also possible to get bacterial infections (again while still being a virgin), not just yeast infections, so it is important to get it checked out to see what organism might be causing the problem and whether a medication might be needed to clear it up.
Avatar n tn Not everyone gets a cottage cheese discharge or irritation. When a doctor examines the area, they can see the deposits that the candida infection makes (that you cant see deep in the vagina) - usually looking like little white plaques (which then lead to a white discharge). There is some debate within the medical community as to whether or not to treat such yeast infections if the patient is not symptomatic (as in your case).
Avatar f tn if you have a different experience or have been through a yeast infection while pregnant please share your experience but no need to shoot the rest of ours down ..none of us our DRS ...
Avatar f tn If you take antibiotics it can cause a yeast infection, which I think you already have. Something that may help with these yeast infections is taking a probiotic every day. They can be bought an any pharmacy or even a Walmart. Ask the pharmacist what they recommend. Research online women's clinics in your area. It really sounds like you need to see a Dr. If there are'nt any close to you give your own Dr a call and ask about an uninsured patient discount. Many Drs will do this.
242516 tn?1368223905 The flu has passed epidemic rates in much of the country, and if you don't have a cold, I'm sure you have a friend who has the sniffles, fever, chills, aches and pains of a viral upper respiratory infection. This is different from a bacterial infection such as sinusitis, bronchitis, or pneumonia. A viral infection doesn't improve with antibiotics as these infections do. A virus hijacks your own body's healthy cells and uses it to reproduce and spread.
Avatar f tn It is for yeast. The yeast you have is resistant to the medication you are using. Or, you can try to get tested for the specific type of Candida. There are different types such as Candida albicans, Candida dubliensis, Candida tropicalis etc. Candida dubliensis is the most resistant one. I would see your doctor and ask for a different type of treatment for it. The Lamisil usually works. As for the Staph it depends on what kind of staph whether it is important or not.
Avatar f tn I would contact your doctor to see about treatment for a yeast infection while ttc/IUI. You can pass a yeast infection back and forth between eachother. Its best to consult your doctor and see what the MD recommends. I would not self treat at this point.
Avatar f tn Fluconazole does work on yeast infections as it is an antifungal. Clindamycin is different and is an antibiotic. It fights bacteria, not yeast or fungus. Clindamycin can create a situation in which you get a yeast infection. It's not used to treat a yeast infection but fluconazole is.
Avatar n tn back about 6 mths ago i got my first yeast infection..and got them for 3 mths in a row a week or so before my period..not sure why...i didnt go to the doc tho, i used canesten..i find the 1 day trestment didnt work...i guess i needed something with a slow reklease that worked over a longer period of time as opposed to the one shot treatment..i used the three day combo pack (where u insert the tablet inside of u and then use the cream on the outside) bless my fiance..
Avatar f tn Now I’m on my period and I’m worried about my period affecting my yeast infection in a bad way. I am also worried about the BV I’m not currently treating. I heard that if BV is left untreated it can cause PID which has the possibility in causing problems with pregnancy. I’m only 20 so I’m not trying to be pregnant but I also would like to keep myself fertile for when I do decide to become a mother. I just want to get healthy again.
Avatar f tn Hi there. Well, could be a yeast infection/overgrowth, yes. If you have never been diagnosed for a yeast infection, I would go the first time to your doctor to confirm. They'll help you treat it then and give you ideas why it is happening related to your period. So, yes, I'd see your doctor at this point.
Avatar f tn The package insert included in yeast infection medication says if this is your first time experiencing these symptoms to go see a doctor so that is probably the best thing to do just to make sure it is nothing serious and that is treated properly. A doctor may also give you better medication to treat an infection then what you would get at the drugstore.
Avatar f tn i have never had a yeast infection but I think I may have one now. Have any of you had one and if so what do you do to treat it?
Avatar f tn The itch and lumpiness consistency is typical of yeast. If this is your first yeast infection, they like you to see your doctor for accurate diagnosis. If not, you can treat with over the counter medication (doctors can prescribe a pill).
1419937 tn?1302557849 do you treat bv like a yeast infection an if not what are some home remides to treat it?
Avatar f tn Ive had a yeast infection with my son and my daughter. Yes antibiotics can throw off your PH balance so you could possibly have an infection. Any burning or discomfort should always be addressed with your OB to get proper treatment. In the meantine, drink only water and natural cranberry(no cocktail-too much sugar) and try to eat yogurt daily.
4185614 tn?1353272513 I agree with simmons, I'd just make an earlier appt. it def. sounds like a yeast infection, so I'd call and let them know your symptoms and they may just prescribe you something. Good luck mama!
Avatar f tn Have you had the yeast cultured to see what kind it is? There is an ear medication called Otomax that is used to cure yeast infections in the ear and it is very effective against the Malassezia pachydermatis yeast organism. Why not talk to your vet about using Otomax if you have not yet tried it?
Avatar f tn Hi! If you were my patient, I would advise you to go to see some sort of medical practicioner--if you don't want to see a doctor, see a nurse practioner. I would treat you with Diflucan--probably with two tablets 3 days apart. Topical Crisco work very well for the itching and irritation which surrounds the vulva and vagina, You need to see a health care provider so that they can determine if it iS indeed yeast and not bacteria that are causing the problem. Good luck!!
Avatar f tn Yeast infections are very common during pregnancy so don't worry. That's the only time I've ever had a known yeast infection. Sometimes women have an infection and don't even know. Just call your doc and ask him what he thinks you should do. I'm anti medicine so I'm not sure if otc yeadt infection creams are safe during pregnancy.
Avatar f tn If you have a yeast infection the doc told me that Monstat is good to use while pregnant but I would have it checked out by the doc 1st b/c that's what I thought I had 2 & it wasn't that. I had Bacterial Vaginouses. Don't ask what that is I have no clue. I get the weirdest things down below. I am always getting UTI's and I was tested positive for the Group B Strep too. Lucky me, right.
Avatar m tn Sometimes, however, you can have a sinus infection that won’t show up on a CAT scan of your sinuses. In this case, you will have drainage into your throat, called post-nasal drip, and your throat often have too much mucus in it, which can cause a mild sore throat or cough on a chronic basis. 9. WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS? The main symptom of sinusitis is pain. Pain in your face, pain in your head.
