valtrex for yeast infection

I took 5 days of Valtrex and then I took it one more time for five days when I had itching which could have been a yeast infection or HSV. Then I took no more Valtrex until the 8th month after the first test. I had developed chronic itching facial and vaginal itching so I was prescribed suppressive Valtrex for a year. I was retested at 19 months. The igGs were negative. I was tested at 22 months, the igGs were negative. I stopped taking Valtrex.

I'm taking Valtrex. It's 2 times a day for 10 days. I've read a lot of people get it for 5 days and take it up to 5 times a day and see results after 7? I've only been on it for 3 days, but my symptoms keep getting worse and the blisters are spreading. I went back to the doctor and was told they can't do anything for me not even give me something to help with the pain.

Let me describe me my present penis condition! am under going yeast infection medicines for 1 month consulting a Dermatologist! When i pull out the fore skin of my penis i find some blackish or reddish colour changes!! and also at the end of the penis shaft there is violet colour changes and it disappears when i put medicines and apply anti fungal cream! only during the night time it seems to be colour changing!! Is it only yeast infection or any other bacterial infected??Please help me!!

ve started doubling the increased dose that my doctor called in for me. Can Valtrex cause a yeast infection? Except it feels more like herpes instead of yeast. I've also been having a sharp pain in my lower pelvic area around the time of my cycle.

Dr.- I had protected sex with stripper and the day after i noticed a burn at the tip of my penis not when i peed. I had the burn for about 4 days it went away. It came back 3 days later, my doctor gave me lavaquin for 3 days it did nothing. At the end of 3 days i had a red rash on my foreskin, now i remember seeing this rash before the incident and the day after the incident. I quickly put alcohol on it and it turned red so i put neosporene on it and the next day it was not red anymore.

I came down with what I thought was a yeast infection. I had all the common symptoms, discharge, itching, etc. I used Monistat and Diflucan which seemed to treat it, and saw my doctor for further STD testing just to be sure. She confirmed that it appeared to be a nasty yeast infection and the STD tests I had done all came back negative (except HSV1 of course). About 4 weeks later I had what I thought was another yeast infection.

I started taking Valtrex for Herpes2, and I feel anxious,depressed, and I have been waking up with bad headaches in the middle of the night. I don't know if it is all in my head, because I just tested postive for this, and I have been dealing with this for about 15 yrs. I am still shocked. I have been to several doctors who blew it off as a yeast infection. Does anyone know of any alternatives that work?

Blood test, acquired from ex husband!! Took Valtrex for a month, but now use Astragalus which works well for me most of the time.

thank you for the advice.....the results of the swab came back as a bacterial infection.....going to my primary care doctor now for cream/ointment.......this is driving me crazy!

s a good chance what you think is an outbreak is actually a yeast infection - have you been seen when symptomatic to test for yeast? All the more reason that Valtex isn't working if it's not a herpes outbreak! Fucicort is a corticosteroid cream, which would not help a herpes outbreak. Typically, it would not be recommended to be used on the genital area.

I still have this pain today very little though but enough to know I am not OK. The doctor prescribe me medication for my yeast infection and it has cleared. What do you think of all this? God bless you for all the help you give.

I am confused because i was told it wasnt the beinging of an outbreak was put on antibiotics, then treated for the yeast infection and now back on antivirals for the herpes. It feels like a never ending cycle. If someone can shed some light on my situation i would greatly appreciate it.

Now I am pregnant and my OB thought I had yeast infection and prescribed metronidazole vaginal gel .75% for 5 days. (no testing to confirm what type of infection-just visual examination) I got better then got worse with itching, pain and she prescribed monostat....but then I examined myself closer and realized it was my first re-outbreak of the HSV2. I had minor spotting and went to see my OB and she confirmed what I already knew. She told me to double my valtrex for 10 days.

Hello I was prescribed to valtrex about 2weeks ago for hsv 2.. How long does a outbreak last... Although I see no signs of an outbreak I can't stop the itching.. How to stop the itching..

Both came back negative for HSV 1 and 2. Then he gave me fluconazole for the yeast infection and it healed me. Then last year November (2013), I had similar symptoms on my penis gland and under the foreskin. I got fluconazole from the doctor for the yeast infection, but it did not go away completely (It healed and came back several times). Both times, doctor asked me to use an antibiotic cream (mupirocin/bactroban). I used it since Nov. 2013 to Feb. 2014.

Yeah, Im going to refrain from sex for a few days until I get my results. Grace, my first yeast infection was when I had my first outbreak, so I do not know the difference. yeast infection cause pain after sex?

s say herpes not detected in blood test +6 months possible exposure, treated for potential bacterial infection, treated for potential yeast infection, neither seems to be getting to the crux. Let's say symptoms persist, feelings like cuts on the inside of Vagina...could these cuts, if herpetic, or even microscopic lesions, could these, left untreated, say with Valtrex, persist for months? Meaning never go away? It feels like I have open cuts on the inside of my vagina.

he just put me on valtrex. im starting to think its a yeast infection because a lot of the symptoms say its a yeast infection too and i took the at home spit test for the yeast infection and it did everything it said it would do if i had a yeast infection. idk im going back tomorrow to find out whats going on.

Thanks for your response Life. Yes, I had the "yeast infection" swabbed multiple times, but wondered if it was too late by the time I made it to the doctor. I basically went to the two doctors & was told that I had a very irritated cervix & a yeast infection that would not seem to heal. But the yeast infection didn't have any normal, white discharge like yeast infections I had in the past. Never had any symptoms orally. Tingling, itchiness & swelling (prodrome ?

t come in for another 4 days, so my question is could I go to the pharmacy and get an over the counter yeast infection cream like Monistat or something and try to treat the yeast infection while I am taking acyclovir? Would it interfere with anything else going on? I don't have a primary care doctor so I got tested at a walk-in clinic, so asking my doctor about a simple question like this isn't ideal. Any input would be great thank you!

On and off, I had to avoid sex with him because of the yeast infections. A week and a half ago, I was treated for a yeast infection. I felt that the symptoms were gone, but the doctor said she could still see that I had it, and gave me a prescription. Five days passed, and I had no symptoms. I thought it would alright to have sex. My boyfriend and I had sex, and things felt fine. Ten minutes passed afterwards, that I felt alright.

If your symptoms are now improving with Diflucan, and since they didn't respond to Valtrex, a yeast infection is the best bet. Let us know what your gyn says.

Is it possible that my herpes infection was actually a yeast infection? Do yeast infections get confused with herpes in blood tests? Someone please just ease my mind! (And sorry for the huge post!

After 2 months of Cipro, Valtrex and Cortsol for Epstein Barr virus, I developed acute bladder infection. I was treated with Levaquin for 1 month. At the tail end of my Cipro/Valtrex/Cortisol tretment and prior to the bladder infection the tip of my penis began to be constantly in pain (as if sand paper had been rubbed on the tip. This was 8 months ago! The pain has been constant. In addition pain in my lower left quadrant began to spread and my abdomen became very distented.

I went to my gyne the next day and he said everything looked normal and that I had a yeast infection. I also took some valtrex the first night because I was paranoid. I have cold sores. Been taking 2 gms of valtrex for the last 3.5 days. I also have been rubbing vagisil on the area and it still remains inflammed. I have decided to get off of the antibiotics since all of this began after I took them.

s almost certainly something else, which is very common with a first outbreak. I know I was treated for a yeast infection on the heels of my first herpes outbreak. Did he test for yeast or bacteria?

I've had hsv 2 for 7 years and have started suppression therapy on Valtrex for 6 months to prevent transmission to a new partner. It seems like i have way more outbreaks taking valtrex daily compared to in the past where i would take it just for an outbreak i would get maybe once a year. Has anyone else reported this? Should i stop taking it daily?
