The doctor may prescribe metronidazole to treat vaginal infection, Usually, metronidazole can be taken orally. Sometime metronidazole can also be inserted directly into the vagina with a topical gel.
I started using metronidazole gel for a possible yeast infection/ mild vaginal infection. I am married and have had the same sex partner for many years. I started to get bladder pressure and burning and thats why I went in to the obgyn yesterday. She prescribed me this gel and I started taking it yesterday and twice today morning and evening. Tonight when I used the tube I took it out and it had a few specks of almost blood clot looking things.
Is everything just super irritated down there from the BV, yeast infection, boric acid, and Metronidazole? Like urethritis? Or is all this the BV worstening now that I'm no longer on any medication for it?
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?
Most prostatitis is non-infectious. Antibiotics are routinely tried in the hope they will improve symptoms, but mostly they have no effect. Prostatitis symptoms usually include bladder symptoms as well; it doesn't mean there is a separate bladder infection and you can expect your urine culture to be negative.
There is no evidence that trich causes prostatitis, but some doctors include one of the anti-trichomonas treatments (metronidazole or tinidazole) if other antibiotics don't work.
I (37 male) had unprotected sex as well as cunnilingus and unprotected oral sex with an ex-girlfriend on 3/9. We had been drinking. 8 days later my body felt warm and with chills. This lasted for about one day. 2 days after that (the 10th day) my penis began to itch and burn and my foreskin was dry and slightly swollen. I figured this was jock itch from the unprotected sex and began to use antifungal cream. I also had white spots on my tonsils, maybe from the cunnilingus and kissing.
Did anyone take pills for infection down there, I was prescribed Metronidazole, very scared to take it but I read online the infection is dangerous.
i finished taking metronidazole 500mg for 7 days and then took a pill for yeast infection for one day cant remenber the name but a week after the npleasant smell is still her ..
A few weeks ago I had a bladder infection (discomfort, trouble urinating) so I went antibiotics for a week. A couple weeks later my symptoms came back but more like a yeast infection (creamy white excessive discharge, itchiness, burning while peeing). I developed some pimples (normal for me) which eventually turned to mini ulcers because I scratched so much. So I went to the doctors and he did a std utile test (syph. & gonnor.
I was prescribed it last week for a bacterial infection. Took it 4 times and my face started to break out in a rash. Called the pharmacist and then the doctor. Both said i was having an allergic reaction to the medicine. Both said to stop taking it. I go to the doctor next week to ddiscuss other options. So just watch out for that.....
I am Male 42, from Pakistan I had unprotected sex vaginal and slight anal penetration once (big mistake ) with a sex worker on 27 Sept 13, on 29 Sept I felt severe itching in my groins and irritation in anus. I took 750 mg Azithromycin 29 sept night followed by 250 mg Azithromycin with 400 mg cefixime on 30 Sept morning. I waited for 24 hours The symptoms didn't resolve rather I started having severe irritation after peeing.
My question is, I think I have a yeast infection after taking metronidazole to treat BV. Is it safe for me to take Monistat without a doctor's diagnosis of a yeast infection?
A bit more detail if needed - doctor told me I had BV and prescribed the Metronidazole gel for 5 days. I finished using the gel on Sunday Oct 2. My symptoms seemed to be going away. However, starting yesterday morning, I have been experiencing some itching as well as thick, cottage-cheese like discharge.
In our clinic, given your recurrent symptoms, you would have been treated with the alternate medication recommended for chlamydial infection (doxycycline) plus metronidazole, not just metronidazole alone because of the (unproven) possibility that you might have failed your recent treatment.
Several additional thoughts arise however. First, your testing sounds unusual.
My doctor prescribed me metronidazole because of my yeast infection but I'm really "iffy" about taking it because I don't want to harm my baby. Have any of u guys taken metronidazole while pregnant ?
Pre-pregnancy I flushed with a small amount of boric acid...always got rid of it. Yeast and bv is simply a sign that your vaginal pH is off allowing growth of the wrong type of bacteria. I can't lie and said I didn't do it once or twice during pregnancy, but I don't know if it's recommended..although all my kids came out fine. I used to be able to purchase powdered boric acid at the pharmacy counter at Wal-Mart, walgreens, etc. ...
It seems like several different things are happening all at once and I cant figure out what may have caused it. To start, about 3 weeks ago I was experiencing bladder infection symptoms so I began self treating with antibiotics which caused slight irritation in genital area. I also started self treating that with vaginal cream. Shortly after I received oral sex from my friend for the first time. In addition to getting over the irritation, he was quite rough during our encounter.
i kept having chronic uti/bladder and yeast infection symptoms, this all started from getting one bladder infection after sex, its like the infection never went away for about six months. the antibiotics caused the yeast infections and i think bacteria kept growing in my bladder causing the infection to reoccur, i couldn't even tell what kind of infection i had yeast or bladder?
My Dr has treated me with Metronidazole- brand name used was flagyl Nylstatin for yeast, clamycin,spandnox (for yeast), and recently had some relief with Augmentin(which was prescribed for a chest infection). When i was on augmentin all the above symptoms went away however came back 1 or 2 days after i came off the anti biotic.
