clindamycin and yeast infection

I've taken Clindamycin and fluconazole to kill a yeast infection. But now my doctor tells me I might possibly get it back because antibiotics can cause yeast infections. I'm not even sure...

Another symptom is long term infection. And I've been having bacteria infection on my throat for a while now. Hmm... so many questions to ask my new doctor!!

i have my yeast infection 3 weeks ago... but until now, i think its not yet ok.. i still feel itchiness on my genital area but not that itchy anymore compare to the first week.. i itch sometimes but i have still this watery grayish discharge.. i dont feel any burning sensation when i urinate.. i am just worried about this discharge.. i know its not a normal discharge because it is too many.. but on my first week of infection.. i hev this discharge,, chheezy cottage like discharge..

05%(base), i also just started using Fougera Clindamycin Phosphate gel USP, 1%(equivalent to 1% clindamycin. i have been using the first one for past three month twice a day and it is almost having no affect. the area is increasing and i m afraid it will get bigger and it is. what should i do? any recommendations on what i should use to get rid of it? can you recommend any medicine/cream?? i would really appreciate the help.

Yea I would like to know why the odor is still here I finished the 7 day dose of metronizole as well plus yeast infection pill and the smell remains

I went back o the doc the other day but she said my pH was off and to just use vagisil feminine wash and sit in vinegar baths. And if I wanna go see my gyno I have to wait a few months cus she has a dull schedule. I don't know what to do, this is ruining my life !

Vagisil is not a great solution for a yeast infection. The source of the yeast is the bowel which has an overgrowth of yeast with the antibiotic knocking the good beneficial bacteria out of balance and allowing the yeast to overgrow. So, Vagisil alone can't keep the area from continually being re-inoculated.

**** HOWEVER, if you have a fish like odor with the discharge, especially after sex, you probably have BV which is like a bacterial yeast infection. I would stay away from the pill treatments and use a Clindamycin based product to treat it. Important to finsh the meds and use them propperly. You doctor will tell you which you have for sure. Good luck, don't worry.

The meds you take a safe the docs wouldn't give you something that wouldn't be safe , and I feel your pain I had BV and then right after got a yeast infection then 2 weeks after treating that I got another yeast infection :/ that's when the doctor subscribed something too me for it

If your taking about bacterial vaginosis (BV) then usually oral medication is metronidazole (Flagyl) or Clindamycin. Vaglinal gels metro-gel, cleocin, clindasee(spelling?

if it has smell like a fish then it could be an infection so you better consult your ob or get an antibiotic like clindamycin.. if it looks like a cheese in your vagina and is itchy then it could be yeast infection then you better take vaginal suppository then..

) I just found out at my 7 week scan that I have an vaginal infection and my doctor gave me clindamycin phosphate cream. My nurse and doctor have both assured me it is safe to take during my first trimester. Did anyone else use this during their pregnancy? Thank you!

but only on the back of my neck. I also have a yeast infection and white patch on my tongue. I am wondering if this is side effects from the clindamycin, but I am very paranoid person since I have hsv1 and am wondering if I now contracted hiv. I have been told on here that oral sex with ejaculation that i was not at risk since the risk was small, but doctors say differently. please help i am scared.

As for the yeast infection they have a pill called Flagyl its extermely potent and will kill the yeast infection. The monostat in my opinion don't help too much. Also my Dr told me its not recommended to have sex during BV and yeast infection . IT can be transmitted to your male partner if you use a condom and it breaks.

I think that I may have a bacterial or yeast infection. I took 2 over the counter vaginial screening kits and i also i feel a bit discomfort and my discharge is maybe a pale white..sort of watery and thick..It stated I had a bacterial infection. I believe I had it for some time now but never went to the doctor..but im planning on going soon as possible. I Just want to know what can I do to help with the discomfort or even to clear up in the meantime? I dont really smell anything..

Thank you so much for your response. May I also ask what length of time would I take the Biaxin? And is there any home treatment, Like garlic pills etc. that would help augment healing? ( since Biaxin is not considered the best treatment.) Although I'm stuck with that. And frankly, I was on the Clindamycin for weeks and that didn't get rid of the infection, so maybe a broad spectrum antibiotic will work for me. I sure hope so. thank you again for your advice.

I got tested and was positive for yeast and BV. Doc prescribed a course of Metronidazole and suppositories for yeast for me and my partner got treated as well, just in case. Again, my infection cleared up and I was fine for maybe two weeks? I can't even remember. But it came back again after having sex.. I went back, tested positive for BV again and was prescribed Clindamycin this time. At this point I was so done with it that I almost had a mental breakdown.

I was diagnosed with a bladder infection and a vaginal infection. I assume its bacterial vaginosis because my doctor prescribed Bactrim and Metrogel. But because I have Raynaud's Syndrome, I can't use Metrogel. So my doctor has now prescribed Cipro. But how would either one help with the vaginosis? And as for the bladder infection, couldn't I just take one because they both treat UTIs?

The bacteria will hurt you and baby a lot more than taking the anti biotics. Your dr knows what anti biotics are ok to take during pregnancy:) I had anti biotics for kidney infection, bladder infection, uti, and yeast infection. I had them all at once :( but I'm ok now i took keflex for them.

I have had a yeast infection for three weeks which was confirmed through a culture. I have been on monistat 3, terazol 7 (prescription), gynolotrim, and diflucan. I have also tried garlic, yogurt, and have eliminated all sugar and simple carbs. I am losing my mind as I have severe internal itching, throbbing and external irritation. Infections and STDs have been ruled out. My gynecologist is at a loss and tells me they've done everything.

Don't be embarrassed to see your Dr. You really do need to get in and find out what's going on. It sounds like either a yeast or bacterial infection. Either of these would need treatment.

Hi there, You have what is called thrush in your mouth. You can go to your general practicioner for this. Basically it's a yeast infection in your mouth from too much antibiotics. An oral dose of Diflucan or any other oral meds to treat yeast infections will work.

At first the doctor prescribe me some Fluconazole Tablets and Nystatin because she thought I had a yeast infection. After a month had gone by i have not seen an improvement. I went to the doctor again and saw another doctor. He prescribe to me clindamycin phosphate lotion. This also did not improve my symptom. Can someone tell me what's wrong with me.

I have spoken to my family in the UK and searched the internet and can nothing about taking milk based products and antibiotics together. Is this a German idea? Please can you offer some information.

James, Sounds similar to my case. I took 2 rounds of 2 different AB's at about the same time. It started with constipation, but that has subsided. I still have abdominal bloating. I avoided gluten and lactose for a time but no change in my condition. You may want to consider researching candida. It's yeast infection. Just like bacteria, we have yeast in our digestinal tract and it is kept in check, normally. AB's can through that out of balance too.

i am being treated for possible infection of Chlamydia and gonorrhea. I understand its common to treat for both when one is suspected. My problem is that i don't handle antibiotics well. azithromycin is not an option for me. doxycycline is not great either. So the dr. has given me 10 days of clindamycin to be taken 3 times a day at a dose of 450 mgs. this is fine, i can take clindamycin with no ill effects.

I recently had an infection on one of my lower back molars(second from last on bottom side) I had a root canal/crown done several years ago. My dentist sent me to a reputable endodontics. They did a re-treatment on the tooth. My dentist had put on me on pain meds and amoxicillin. two days after the retreatment I was in horrible pain. I went back to the endo to have an I&D done. My face was very swollen for two days.
