yeast-infection

Avatar n tn I had a yeast infection after my last period, i just started my period yesterday and when i wipe or take out the tampon it feels like i'm using razor blades. it also feels like i'm swollen in that area which makes it hard to take out the tampon. I don't have pads at the moment or i would use them. please help.
Avatar f tn What kind of protection do you use when you are on your period? Pads or tampons? I find that some liners don't agree with my vagina and I get a pesky external itch on the outer labia--especially if they are the scented kind but certain brands can affect me as well. The pH in the menses blood usually makes things right as rain. When I'm getting a yeast infection, for example, after my period--everything is back to normal.
Avatar f tn Hello! I have been experiencing some vaginal burning during my menstrual, but I am not sexually active! My menstrual doesn't smell bad, or have any real change in texture. I tend to get large clots and watery blood. Sometimes my vulva gets itchy, but I realized always pads were doing that to me! After I switched, no more itching. But my vagina has been burning and I think it's actually kinda dry despite having such a heavy flow! Any input would be appreciated!
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 The most likely cause of your symptoms is chronic/recurrent yeast infection, or irritant vaginitis (more likely, I think). Vaginitis just means inflammation of the vaginal/vulvar area. I'm not sure if you've been examined, or have had swabs and had yeast ruled out. If it is yeast, it may be easily treated with an anti-fungal.
Avatar n tn My girlfriend and I had sex a about a week ago and noticed she had a brown colored vaginal discharge during sex. She took a pregnancy test and it came out negative. She then had her period the next day, but it only last one day. A few days after her period started and ended, we had sex again and the brown discharge happened again. What is causing the brown colored discharge? and could she be pregnant?

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 plan to take a lot of yogurt and avoid yeast feeding diet to control it. What else can I do? Is kefir milk OK to take during pregnancy? This is my first and everything freaks me out...pl advise.
Avatar n tn Hello Doctor, I had yeast infection vaginal. I was treated with candid V6 tablets. for 1st three days, the dissolved tablets are seen in the discharge. Then it got developed to pink and later dark pink.
Avatar f tn if you have a different experience or have been through a yeast infection while pregnant please share your experience but no need to shoot the rest of ours down ..none of us our DRS ...
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.
1269698 tn?1295896211 at this point treat your kidney infection obviously and then follow up on things. you can get tested for std's while you have your period - makes no difference at all. What is important is that you waited enough time between the last time you had sex and getting tested. do you know what they tested you for too? odds are herpes wasn't a part of your std testing. you should follow up with a type specific herpes igg blood test 3 months after the last time you had sex.
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.
1214522 tn?1284134094 i think that is this a sigh that you are geting your period. i was 13 and i think that the white stuff that you are getting is a sigh that your period will come in the next 6 month does this help!
355049 tn?1272256388 I am not too sure I know you can use monistat 3 for a yeast infection but I have never heard of AZO Yeast... When I have a yeast infection my doctor gives me Diflucan, it relieves the itch and all the nasty things to come with a yeast infection in like a hour and it is safe to take durring pregnancy.... It is only 1 pill so no messy creams. I would call your local 24 hour pharmacy... Walgreens and ask the pharmicist..
Avatar f tn it can however cause you to spot, as any vaginal infection during pregnancy can do that. But if your in early pregnancy your safest treatment is a 7 day treatment cream.I had one around 10 weeks and im now 15 weeks!
Avatar f tn Try a non expensive lubticant that does not have the warming/cooling sensation, or anything like that. Also check with your doctor to make sure you dont have a yeast infection or any bacterial infection.
11970398 tn?1443134602 Ive been battling yeast infections,my dr says their super common during pregnancy, but my question iswhat happens if i have one during labor? Will it effect my baby somehow?
Avatar f tn Have you had the yeast cultured to see what kind it is? There is an ear medication called Otomax that is used to cure yeast infections in the ear and it is very effective against the Malassezia pachydermatis yeast organism. Why not talk to your vet about using Otomax if you have not yet tried it?
Avatar f tn I use the brand Renew Life Ultimate Vaginal Flora supoort 50 cultures per capsule(thats the good bacteria put back into your body) also I take GARLIC tablets. (instead of crushing real--YUK!!) Also I use Yeast Arrest while on your period (its a Boric acid suppository) at night. I just got the Mirena IUD inserted this morning. My doctor is hoping that it will help. I have been taking Birth control pills for 14 years and she feels that taking them systemically is causing the problem.
Avatar f tn I'm wondering if what you were feeling was just the opening to the vagina. If you felt pain when your nail touched it, then that makes me think that was what you touched. Your symptoms sound like a yeast infection, but if you've never had one before, it would be a good idea to see a dr to confirm the diagnosis. Since you're a virgin, it would be a virtual impossibility for it to be any kind of STD, but better safe than sorry, I say.
1386765 tn?1451164337 I got a yeast infection mid cycle, after bding. DH is having no problems, so not from him. Is there any other reason for this? Can it be that my body is just not accepting his swimmers? Thanks for any thoughts.
