Diflucan for a yeast infection
Common Questions and Answers about Diflucan for a yeast infection
diflucan
So, I have this raging yeast infection.
You essentially washed out the good and natural flora in your vagina and change the PH making it ripe for a yeast infection. Looked up Easton faction and unless you have the name wrong, as far as I can tell, that doesn't exist. If you have a strong odor from your vagina, you may have a bacterial infection and need antibiotics (not diflucon). If you and your partner had yeast that you were passing back and forth, the diflucan would work.
My doctor finally gave me a prescription to get diflucan. But my insurance want pay for it because they he said it is a risk for the baby. Has this happened to anyone else? Or have you taken diflucan and everything turned out fine? Not to mention she only prescribe me 2 pills one every 24 hours and that's it.
I had a nasty yeast infection after antibiotics a couple of months ago. Ugh, feel for you. They are so uncomfortable! I did use the monostat one day (diflucan is better in my opinion!!) but I also ate probiotic yogurt (activia). I swear the yogurt helped. I was cleared up pretty quickly. Monostat doesn't work as fast as diflucan, I had discharge for about 5 days after it but between that the yogurt, cotton underwear changed often, it went away.
was found during my annual) and my dr (who is new and i do not normally see) prescribed me diflucan for 12 weeks, one pill, once a week. I have never heard of this or treated a yeast infection with diflucan like this before and am starting to think this doctor I saw was a quack/slave to drug company kind of doctor. Has anyone ever been prescribed diflucan this way?
I've been taking diflucan for years, but for this year my yeasts infections gotten worst. I went to a gyn that my gyn sent me too. 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 was on Augmentin (antibiotic) for a foot infection about a month ago and then soon started developing stomach cramps. I figured the cramps were related to what was wrong with my penis. The doctor said the antibiotics killed off the good AND bad bacteria in my stomach leaving me vulnerable to contracting this yeast infection, even on my penis head. Does this sound unusual, just kinda looking for opinions!
I have had a yeast infection for a year now. The doctors cannot get it to go away. I've been through ten plus Diflucans no results and suppositories no results. But my yeast infection only started after I took lamictal. Has anyone else had this problem? How did your doctors get your yeast to go away?
It sounds as though it could possibly be herpes? You could google herpes and see what they look like and compare to what you have. Have you been to an obgyn? I would definitely suggest that. If it was a yeast infection the diflucan and creams should have worked. I"ve never heard of open sores with a yeast infection. I hope you start to feel better soon. I know it must be very painful. Let us know!!
since then i have been to my gyno who cultured my yeast infection and said best medication for it was diflucan, so he also prescribed me to diflucan for 7 days-never went away. then he again prescribed me diflucan 150 once for 3 weeks. never went away!!!
this is my first yeast infection so i dont know why diflucan will not cure me. i am 22 years old, smoke and drink on the weekends, work out regularly, work nights, recently pretty stressed.
there are stronger medications your doctor can give you for a yeast infection like diflucan. it's just one pill. ask for that instead of buying over the counter stuff.
Usually when my patients give a similar description of symptoms, it turns out to be yeast, so Diflucan is a good medication to start with. If symptoms persist, I will often do a wet mount (look at the discharge under the microscope) a pH test (helps to distinguish yeast from bacterial infections (home tests can be purchased at your local drug store)
and sometimes a culture. I would usually rule out gonorrhea and chlamydia just as a routine part of my protocol too.
Hello,
I have yeast infection on a regular since after using the nuvring as a for of birth control. If I was you I will tell your doctor to give you the two pills so the yeast infection will go completely away. Also I always wait at least a week after my yeast infection have gone away before I have sex. Not sure about you but the produces in the latex condom always cause my vagina to be irritated. I recommend that you all use sensitive condom.
I had chronic yeast infections and the doctor only gave that to me because the cream wasnt working.
Did the dr do a swab at least to confirm a yeast infection?
I would try the over the counter for 7 days which is the best one to use, and also treat your fiance or he will pass it back to you once you go back to having sex again. I wouldnt have sex until the 8th day.
Just my opinion as I have been through this so many times and now I know.
For OTC meds do Monistat 7 ( the 7 day cream ) and do it right before bed at night ... If you go to your doc they will proscribe you one pill that stays in your system for 7 days but does nothing for the itching at all..
For about the past day I have been having severe itching and irritation down there and was wondering if that's a sign of a yeast infection. Discharge and everything is normal. It is just really bothering me.
