Avatar f tn they will prescribe you something safe for baby. Sometimes yeast infections can mimic bv, a common bacterial infection in pregnancy.
Avatar n tn I have been having yeast infections for the last 2 yeast off and on, been to many docs and still cant get them to stay away. I have been on flygal, diflucan, creams and all why do they keep comeing back what can i do to keep them away? PLEASE HELP!
Avatar f tn re finding that you are getting a lot of sinus infections, etc., you may want to seriously consider other options for treating your allergies that would be more effective and could hopefully keep you from getting the infections in the first place.
Avatar n tn She defenately sound like she has a yeast infection.There are different types of bacteria causing yeast infections therefore some can be cured over the counter, some you need a prescription for which can be cheaper than over the counter. I'm not sure what doxy is but I do know that many medicines and especially antibiotics can cause yeast infections. The biggest cause is changes in hormones which are caused by taking these. They are also caused by pregnancy.
Avatar n tn I prefer to go to the doctor's and get diflucan. One pill and done, no annoying creams.
Avatar f tn Has anyone experienced yeast infections during their pregnancy? I never had one but iv had like three since I got pregnant. Any suggestions?
Avatar f tn Seven months ago my boyfriend and I began having sex, and about two weeks later I started my period but noticed that I was having major pain and itching internally and externally towards the end of my period. I went to the OB/GYN and I did have a yeast infection for the first time ever. I wasn't on any birth control, nor taking any antibiotics, not pregnant, and the pap came back normal with no diseases.
Avatar n tn ) It has not responded at all to either jock itch or yeast infection medicines. There are two complications, one; I took a round of antibiotics about 1-2 weeks prior, 2; I do fish research so I can spend up to 30 hrs a week in waders (i.e. you are wet and clammy.) Both these would led me to guess a yeast infection but medicine for this has had 0 effect. What else could it possibly be??
Avatar f tn How do they test for yeast infections? I had an appointment about a week and a half ago and told my midwife I thought I had a uti because I always had to pee but when I went , nothing came out. so she made me pee in a cup. They never called me back so I'm guessing I don't have one. But, now that symptom went away and I'm just really itchy down there! I know that's a sign of yeast infection but do you think she tested my pee for that too when I went last time ???
Avatar f tn So for the past week or so I've been feeling as if there was something in my anus-- like not too deep in there, but some kind of moving that makes it itchy... Kind of like pinworms? Except when I wipe there doesn't seem to be any worms of any sort. Maybe it's because I'm taking prescription yeast infection medication that lasts for seven days (I've had a chronic yeast infection for a month)? Do yeast infections spread to your butt? Sorry for this gross question!
Avatar f tn I am diabetic and I am prone to yeast infections so I had to ask in case. They told me pro b for prevention and Monistat 1 not the 1 day but 3 or 7 and do not insert more than an inch. I hope this helps.
Avatar f tn Yeast infections are common in pregnancy, but is your Dr checking (like with a microscope) to make sure it is in fact yeast each time? Or are they just refilling without seeing you?
Avatar f tn If you have a bladder infection (how do you know you do? Were you tested for it or are you just thinking you do?) you should see your doctor so he/she can give you the proper meds at your stage in pregnancy.
Avatar f tn Ya sounds like a yeast infection to me. You could have your doctor check if you havev an appt soon. Depending on your insurance they can write a prescription for it and it will be covered. But otherwise the cream only costs like $11.
Avatar n tn My doctor gave me a cream about two months ago and helped but i came back and the cream i have now i have been using more 3 days and it has helped a little i think but hasnt cleared it up completely yet. I didnt start having the problems right after i received the oral sex. I started having the problems after i got really sick from some kind of food poisoning this summer about 2 or 3 months ago.
1138188 tn?1312341243 Unfortunately some women are prone to recurrent yeast infections during pregnancy. Unless your doctor has told you specific OTC brands of yeast medication that are safe to use it is NOT adviseable to use OTC remedies as not all of them are safe. You really need to see you obgyn to get a prescription for something that can help knock this out instead of just making it become dormant for a short period of time.
Avatar f tn Well, I guess you could consider asking your partner to get checked for fungal infections, but that's not the most common way to get yeast infections. Here's from a different website. Not all of it applies, since for example you don't douche, but I'll post it all because you're not the only person ever to write in with this question. One of the ideas I had is that you might have passed the yeast infection to your partner (as mentioned here), who then passed it back to you.
Avatar f tn t know what it was so it was left untreated for like 9 months.. My doctor gave me a prescription for Yeast Infection pills and the pain went away. Then a month later, it came back, I got the pills again and it then too went away. Then 2 months after that.. I got it again. (Mind you.. all this time.. I used OTC yeast infection creams, ovules, suppositories.. none work or have ever worked for me) So this last time that I have had it.. I started dating AZO Yeast and Nature Made Acidophilus tablets.
1151771 tn?1262025120 My daughter is going to be 2 in March and she has been suffering from yeast infections that never go away for almost her entire life. Started out when she was a baby as thrush that lasted almost a month and a half then everything went away for a few months then thrush came back and didn't go away for another couple months. Then we really didn't see anything again for about 6 months when it started in her private area.
Avatar f tn 4 negative blood test for herpes and I have been with the same man for years, who is awesome. So I dont know!
385161 tn?1270081218 then after the monistat i still had discharge and was diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis, i was given vaginal inserts again (this time prescription for bv.) so i finished that up and got another yeast infection....instead of monistat i used acidophilis??sorry can't spell it, for a while (not an anti biotic just a natural remedy) and it worked, well cleared up the discharge anyways. Now i've got a urinary tract infection, so i'm on oral antibiotics again...
512442 tn?1216259500 to avoid the grossness of putting yogurt on your hoo-ha, try yogurt pills (acidophillus) or buy AZO Yeast, I've used AZO Yeast pills for all my yeast infections and it relieves it in a day or two. These pills are a combination of natural herbs and yogurt cultures and it balances your vaginal PH. That stuff is awesome, it relieves the itching and burning in a couple of hours too. Yogurt is ok but doesn't work as fast.
Avatar n tn t work the doc can give you a prescription for another cream. But try the monistat and make sure you eat plenty of yogurt and that should help.
