diflucan

Avatar f tn I went to doctors they gave me Diflucan for two weeks I'm on day 4 and still have symptoms only thing it helping is my tongue getting pinker but my vagina still has lots of discharge and have a lump on inner lips down there from yeast doc says but the bump from vagina different looking from bumps on rectum. Was wondering if.
1070570 tn?1283436213 I believe there may be a connection with yeast overgrowth and FM. I plan to test out the nystatin and diflucan and see if I feel better after killing the yeast. I am nervous about the die off effects. The whole yeast diet it basically avoiding all sugars,candies, and white bread/flours, and caffeine, and lots of other things should be avoided. I guess it just depends on what you can do. I can tell I'm going to have a hard time with the diet!
Avatar f tn No pain with these symptoms, but all things that go into having some sort of yeast overgrowth. It’s just upsetting because it feels like something is happening from the inside out but I don’t know what it would be. I was just curious on what all I could do, given that the prescription didn’t work and it may be more than just on my skin. I feel at a loss and don’t know if it is possibly something with my gut or hormones.
Avatar m tn What is the usual dosage for treatment of toenail fungus with Diflucan? My doctor prescribed it to me and it just seems to be different than normal. He said to take 100 mg/daily for the first 10 days of each month until it's gone. Is that a normal regimen?
Avatar f tn I was just given medicine for a Bacterial infection and i finished it , before that it was a yeast infection and i am having red and itchy and burning on the outside of my vagina but all around. I was swabed for herpes and freaking ever since . I have a discharge and i notices 3 days onto the cream they gave me a small little lesion or looks like maybe just a raw spot.
Avatar f tn she put me on Augmentin for ten days then start a yeast cream after 3 days and a diflucan pill also ..we will see what this does..
Avatar m tn I saw a doctor who deals with yeast overgrowth who has given me nystatin and diflucan to try. I am giving it a go, but i am a little skeptical seems there is so much controversy over whether yeast overgrowth really exists. I am losing hope and i don't know where to turn next. I feel spaced out all the time, and it is really ruining my life. Anyone have a similar experience?
Avatar f tn Our ph can become unbalanced in our vagina and yeast overgrowth results. Good times. Itching, little bit thicker (sometimes) discharge (but not always as I had thin discharge and a yeast infection before), some irritation, are hallmark signs. That it doesn't smell fits as well. When it smells, it is normally bacterial and that requires antibiotics. This just requires yeast treatment. You have two options.
Avatar f tn It is very common to get thrush after antibiotics as they kill off all the good bacteria and allow there to be an overgrowth of Candida (the yeast that causes thrush).
Avatar f tn You have a yeast (thrush) infection. You often get them after antibiotics but stress and hormones can cause it too. It's caused by an overgrowth of the naturally occurring Candida albicans yeast found in your body. Treatment involves getting an over the counter anti fungal from the pharmacy. You can use a cream or pessary ie clotrimazole (Canesten) or take a single dose tablet ie fluconazole (Diflucan).
Avatar m tn Hello, Last October i had really bad digestive issues. Bloating/constipation and gas. I tried every single over the counter remedy, and nothing worked. Fast forward to December, and i found out i was pregnant. I started to feel a bit spaced out, it felt like i was extremely high. It would come and go, along with some headaches every couple of days, which with a little tylenol would be gone.This went away after a few weeks, and then a week later i miscarried.
6402846 tn?1391063748 I'm beginning to wonder if maybe I have a yeast infection going on. For the past 2 weeks, I've had some pretty bad days with my main symptom, which is pain in my legs. It hasn't been this bad ever, or at least since I got sick 4 months ago. I'm trying to figure out what the heck is going on, since this symptom usually doesn't get too out of control, and I've read yeast overgrowth can make lyme symptoms worse. I'm also consistently getting weak poops...

Avatar f tn The type of discharge you are describing can be physiologic (normal) OR could be a sign of an overgrowth of yeast. If it is yeast--it is easy to treat with Diflucan. Ask your doctor to check it out for you. Good luck!
Avatar f tn My doctor informed me after having an upper endoscopy done following upper abdominal pain that everything looked great, however, I did have to spots that were either yeast or food. I was so relieved that is was not cancer, etc., that I did not question him further on this. Now I am wondering, if they turn out to have been yeast, do two spots indicate an 'overgrowth" or is that normal to have a certain amount of yeast.
Avatar m tn also, during that time, you can eat probiotic yogurt or take probiotic tablets that are basically adding live cultures of the good bacteria to your system to help you not have an overgrowth of yeast. Wear loose fitting panties, cotton only and change often especially if they become damp from a work out or sweating. If you have a partner, they too may need to be treated for the BV as it can be passed back and forth. At the very least, always use a condom.
Avatar f tn Hello, I've been recently diagnosed pre diabetic. Is it possible that this is causing a recurrent hard to treat yeast infection? I've tried Monistat and Diflucan. Neither work. It feels better at first but then it's right back with a vengeance. I've had many yeast infections over the years and never one that just wouldn't go away. Thoughts?
Avatar f tn I have symptoms of a yeast infection that isn’t clearing up with canestan (pessary and cream). The yeast infection is beginning to cause some skin splitting and it’s very itchy and sore. What can I do while still taking the tetracycline and will the test infection just keep coming back?
Avatar f tn I had protected vagina sex and unprotected vagina oral sex with a guy couple days later I started having a itching, burning sensation in my vagina area also I had thick white discharge, I peeped down there and noticed a rash so I used the one day monistat and it went away but my vagina in the inside was swollen so I went to the health department and they looked and tested me and I came back positive for BV I was given Flagyl and after taking the flagyl the rash appeared again with cottage cheese
Avatar f tn You can use natural antifungals or get a prescription from your doctor, such as Diflucan. Natural antifungals are garlic and oregano oil. Consume the garlic clove raw. Use only a few drops of the oil. There are others as well but these two are potent antifungals. Do not use the oil in a Styrofoam cup, it will dissolve it.
Avatar f tn There is an oral pill called Diflucan that you could take - one dose or two is all they give you, but it can be hard on your liver so take steps to get rid of the yeast overgrowth once and for all. Wash towels, underwear and socks in hot water and detergent with about 1/2 cup of baking soda each load. Dry thoroughly. You can look into using probiotics, tea tree oil topically, cranberries (but not sugar) Coconut oil, nigella sativa, garlic ...
2118271 tn?1337463104 I have been on antibiotics about 5 times in a year, and also recently recovered from C. Diff. Has any one experienced candida overgrowth or yeast overgrowth? I am more than sure that I am dealing with this and I am taking a supplement, which is helping. The thing is, I read about it all over the internet but would really like to connect with someone who has actually had or been through it. I feel very alone with my struggle against it. Thanks!
Avatar n tn I have been dealing with other various symptoms ( thrust, fungal skin rashes, weight gain, sugar cravings, alcohol abuse, depression) which are believed ( predominantly by the alternative medics) to be assosciated with an overgrowth of yeast in the system, known as candida albicans. I have been taking probiotics now for about 2-3 months and my nasal sores have dramatically improved. I would suggest doing some candida research, then if you think it sounds appropriate, try a GOOD probiotic.
Avatar m tn Have you been checked for a hiatal hernia? How about candida overgrowth? (This is a yeast, not a bacteria). When your stomach can tolerate it, you can try drinking a yogurt drink called kefir. It has lots of probiotics that are beneficial for digestion. If you do have candida overgrowth, you may initially feel worse after drinking it, because it could cause the yeast to die off and make you feel nauseated. But read up on this condition and see if it sounds possible.
Avatar f tn She recommended a gyn doctor that is good with diseases but he is no longer at the hospital she sent me too. I am constantly getting creams and diflucan for the yeast infections. I feel that my gyn is not meeting my need. I do not want to live on the creams and diflucan. I heard about a gyn on the radio that I would like to go to. I will make an appointment with her. I never took diflucan long term. I will get two diflucans at one time.
Avatar n tn She also perscribed Diflucan since the antibiotic was strong and i tend to develop yeast infections. She told me to take the Diflucan after the 10 day antibiotic was thru. Day 2 on the antibiotic i engaged in oral sex with my boyfriend. By Day 4 i had a full blown yeast infection most likely from the combination of the oral sex and antibiotic. I took the Diflucan. Day 5 i got my period. What do i do now?? And can i re-fill my Diflucan to take when i am thru with the antibiotic??
