Avatar n tn I have been getting a yeast infection every month right before my period comes. This month i went to the doctor because i noticed i was having discharge and it had a bad odor. The doctor said i had BV and gave me Metronidazole, i should take it for seven days twice a day. While i was taking the pill, a yeast infection came. Then i got my period and it started to clear up. That happens every month, i get the infection, my period clears it up. The next month it happens again.
Avatar n tn When you have a yeast infection, things can get irritated and there might be a little bit of blood and it mixes with the discharge and comes out pink. normal.
Avatar n tn Go to the gynecologist. Did they do any testing before prescribing you the meds? I had a very severe yeast infection after my honeymoon and just went to an urgent care and it took forever to clear up. My obgyn told me later I should have come in and they would have tested me first to make sure that's even what it was and could tell how severe it was. He told me I should always go to an obgyn first because a general practitioner is just assuming that's what it is.
Avatar f tn I purchased a probiotic but didnt take it till after the 3rd day of medication and the damage was done already. I got a yeast infection and I have had one before due to antibiotics so I knew what it was. On Saturday the doctor prescribed me biaxin, a different antibiotic, and one dose of fluconazole 150mg. I am still taking the antibiotic for another week.
Avatar f tn I think I have a yeast infection. I've been having white, chunky, sticky-ish discharge for the past few days, along with burning and discomfort. I stuck a finger into my vagina to see if there my be a problem or something, and before I get an inch in, I feel a ridgey.. ball? I guess you could say. It feels like it could be a build up of the discharge, but it kind of hurt when my nail touched it. Then again, everything down there hurts at the moment.
Avatar n tn back about 6 mths ago i got my first yeast infection..and got them for 3 mths in a row a week or so before my period..not sure why...i didnt go to the doc tho, i used canesten..i find the 1 day trestment didnt work...i guess i needed something with a slow reklease that worked over a longer period of time as opposed to the one shot treatment..i used the three day combo pack (where u insert the tablet inside of u and then use the cream on the outside) bless my fiance..
Avatar f tn Ok so here is the run down. My hubby and i decided last month we were ready to start working on child number 3. We missed my ovulation dates and i got my period. Things have been stressful with otherfamily mmember and we stopped paying attention to dates. We made love a day or two before my ovulation days. I know sperm stays alive for up to 5 days inside a women. So technically it was there on my ovulation days.

My period is about 2 start in about a week and i feel pain/soreness...this has been going on 4 a few months now everytime before my period starts. sometimes its uncomfortable when i sit down and my discharge is either watery or white. Im going 2 make an appt 4 the ob/gyn. Any tips on what 2 do before i go?
Avatar f tn I am 22 and have a yeast infection around my vagina which has spread a bit upwards towards the clitoris. i used an OTC cream which didn't cure it all through. I cannot see a doctor due to some problems. Could you please help me as i am married and it becomes a bit embarrassing. Please help. Also the skin infected is white and it itches sometimes, and the discharge a day before my period is white and very thick. Its been almost 3 months and this infection keeps coming back very often.
Avatar n tn From personal experience yeast infection is not the cause.
Avatar f tn It could be from the fluctuation of your hormones or from wearing pads or tampons during your period and that area not getting enough air or a combination of both. I have gotten yeast infections in the past right after my period as well. The package insert included in yeast infection medication says if this is your first time experiencing these symptoms to go see a doctor so that is probably the best thing to do just to make sure it is nothing serious and that is treated properly.
Avatar f tn t think that you can really predict when you are going to get your period or not. You could have a yeast infection with the white discharge, does it itch? or clumpy? If not you could just be going through a vaginal phase where you fluids change and yes you might get your period, or its just your vagina cycling itself(phase) If you have not had a yeast infection before, its best to go to the doctor to see if that is really what is going on.
Avatar f tn Hi there. Well, could be a yeast infection/overgrowth, yes. If you have never been diagnosed for a yeast infection, I would go the first time to your doctor to confirm. They'll help you treat it then and give you ideas why it is happening related to your period. So, yes, I'd see your doctor at this point.
Avatar n tn I usually have a yeast infection a week before my period, according to my doctor and some research on the internet, it is normal for women due to hormonal changes after menstruation, or low immune system, antibiotics, and a lot more possible reason, and yes avoid having sex while you have it coz he will get infected, he will also feel the irritating feeling of itchiness, yogurt is one of the best home remedy, make it a part of your diet, plain yogurt, and Hydrate yourself, plenty of water, and w
Avatar f tn another question, my period is here so how should I deal with that plus a yeast infection? Any information is greatly appreciated!
Avatar n tn you could have a yeast infection but im not sure that affects your period. they are easy to get rid of. you should tell your mom about it and have her get you some over the counter medication for it.
Avatar f tn Can dis make me 2 miss my period every month,wat I mean is dat some month I will not c my period after 1 month b4 I will c it I dnt.
Avatar f tn Hello there I would like you to help me in this confusion i am in.... first of all this is defiantly not my first yeast infection, i am having yeast infections since i was 14. but this time i've got 2 vaginal yeast infections one before my last month period taking into consideration that i was on Azithromycin antibiotic, and the other yeast infection is right now and i have 3 days left to my period...
Avatar f tn I have had a yeast infection previously once, and the symptoms seemed to be the same. A day before I took an over the counter drug to treat this infection, I did have unprotected sex with my boyfriend. The day I decided to treat this infection was because it seemed to be worse, a single sore on my labia. It was a little sore, and it never seemed to hurt very much when I peed or anything... It was just red and almost appeared as a rug burn?
Avatar n tn yes it is possible for you to have a yeast infection or the tampon or pad your using could be the cause of it some people get a irritation from them
Avatar f tn I had brown discharge for 5 days before my last period...I had a normal period. It came when it was souppose to and lasted the usual length. The brown discharge was kinda heavy and very dark. My next period is due in 15 days. I had protected sex a few weeks before this happened,and had protected sex 2 nights prior to the brown discharge starting. After the last time I had sex I took 2 of my birth control pills that I had missed,I didn't know if that could have messed up my hormonal balances?
Avatar f tn My biggest issue is the painful sex, my boyfriend and I never had trouble before I got my yeast infection and now i feel like a virgin again, it is the worst. I am really running out of answers now. My Dr. is trying to get me to go on to a 6 month treatment of some pill and it just sounds awful and seems like it will be just another thing that won't work. Any answers or suggestions will be really appreciated.
Avatar f tn I was told I may have genital herpes. I developed a yeast infection while taking antibiotics for a sinus infection, unfortunately I didn't realize what it was and waited 5 days to go see a doctor. the last 2 days before I was seen urination was severely painful and my entire genital area was red and swollen. The day I saw the doctor I had blisters some of which had burst and were open. The doctor did no testing just diagnosed me with a yeast infection and herpes.
Avatar f tn we came to the conclusion that I had a yeast infection. I had only had two yeast infections before. One when I was about fourteen, assumably from antibiotics I was taking at the time. The only other incident previous to the problem I am having now occurred after I had sex for the first time at age seventeen. I douched earlier that day in preparation.
Avatar n tn my gyn told me to try that because i used to get a yeast infection after every period....it really works for me so it might for you too....i think cranberry is for kidney infections...good luck...
Avatar f tn did you test for yeast? do you have discharge or feel wet down there? yeast infection makes you go pee a lot too. if u have itchiness. it is highly yeast. it could be a possibility. wish u well and find out to have it treated soon!
Avatar f tn About a little over a week ago I got a strange itching and burning sensation near the openingAbout a little over a week ago I got a strange itching and burning sensation near the opening of my vagina. Stupid as I am, that same night I had sex with my boyfriend. Well the next day the pain of course got worse.
