Avatar n tn My symptoms were extreme itching around my inner labia and hood and a milky thin and watery discharge. Other symptoms can be thick cottage cheese like consistency and swelling with itching around the vulva. You can use natural yoghurt (must be live).
Avatar f tn continuation of symptoms may call for a second round of treatment. Visit the doctor to make sure a yeast infection was the proper diagnosis. Yeast infections are normal occurrences in woman.
Avatar n tn I recently treated myself for a yeast infection with Monistat 3 day (I was positive it was a yeast infection, as I get them nearly every year thanks to my birth control method and the feeling is unforgetable!) The monistat got rid of all of the symptoms..the itching and lumpy discharge and whatnot. It probably was a stupid idea, but a day after I stopped treatment, I decided that maybe it wouldn't hurt to have intercourse, since my symptoms were gone, or so I thought.
Avatar f tn I bought the monistat triple action pack, and have been using it. I finished the treatment, and the itching, discomfort and irritation have all gone away. there isn't even any discharge. Its been a week since I started the treatment. I am still swollen and red, but am having no other symptoms. What could this mean? I have had only one sexual partner, and we're still together, and I have been his only sexual partner. Both of us have tested negative for STDs.
Avatar f tn It is now Monday, February 9th and I just took my 4th nightly treatment and i feel better no more signs of yeast, should i keep going??? Or should i let the antifungal cream work it's ways out of my vaginal canal. I am scheduled to be induced in 3 days now. Sorry it's so long! Please help!
Avatar f tn so lucky me, I've got a yeast infection. I have never had one before so I went into the doctor to see what I should do to treat it and they said using the 7 day Monistat cream is safe to use. I'm on day 4 of the treatment and I'm wondering how long the symptoms are supposed to last? I'm super uncomfortable still. Anyone ever had a yeast infection even pregnant? How long did your symptoms last?
Avatar n tn I wanted to know if i have a yeast infection will it efect my boyfrend and if i do how will i get treated and get my boyfriend treated to.
Avatar n tn Hello. Last week I began having symptoms of a yeast infection: vaginal itching, soreness during sex, and discharge like cottage cheese. I visited the doctor about 4 days after the symptoms started and she confirmed that it's yeast. I completed the Monistat 3 over the counter treatment, and the infection seemed to be clearing up after the second night. However, one day passed after finishing the product and the symptoms have begun again.
Avatar f tn You can use the monistat 7-day treatment if you know its a yeast infection. Or call the after hours for your doctor's office and see what they might suggest!
Avatar f tn Okay I know the symptoms and know its a yeast infection. Couldn't contact my doctor to make sure it was okay to take it. Did you ever let your doctor know?
Avatar f tn Organic coconut oil will knock a yeast infection out overnight. Even though the symptoms will fade immediately, I have used it three days in a row to be completely sure it wouldn't come back. The organic Coconut oil should be placed in the vajayjay. You'll be back in business in no time.
Avatar f tn My midwife gave me a prescription for a yeast infection its called terazol.. its a cream she says it works better then the pills..
608005 tn?1234186146 If it's really a bacterial infection and not a yeast infection, then the meds won't cure the infection. Give the meds that u used a couple days to work. Usually you won't see complete relief the night after using the meds. If your symptoms persist, you're gonna have to get a prescription from the doc to get rid of the infection. Because of the holidays coming up next week, maybe you should call today to get an appt just in case.
Avatar n tn I havent begun treatment yet because Im not convinced that I have a yeast infection... Could my dr have been wrong? If she wasnt, how will I tell when its gone if I have no noticeable symptoms?
Avatar f tn ) My doctor said I might have an yeast infection. Is it something to be worried about? What are the treatment options?
Avatar f tn So I went to the doctor a week ago and was told i had a yeast infection. They perscribed me flucanzole and the itching and discharge has gone away, but the burning has not. I can't have sex without it being super painful and even washing in the shower burns. Am I not completly healed yet or is it coming back?
Avatar f tn Swelling and painful itching can be a sign of a yeast infection. Frequent urination with pain could be a bladder infection. The rash later that day could have been an allergic reaction caused by lubricants (even water based can give people an allergic reaction) or condoms (although it doesn't sound like you used one?). There are even odd cases of women being allergic to a man's sperm. If your partner has a sexual history or any known STDs or STD symptoms you should probably get checked.
Avatar f tn d and its been itchy for a couple of days down there, I was looking on the internet and it said both antibiotics and pregnancy both can cause yeast infections, and my symptoms are those of a yeast infection... I just don't know what to do, I already have an OB appointment for Nov. 14th.. I need help what do I do..???
Avatar f tn See a doctor it could be a STD the symptoms from a yeast infection are the same as some STD I thought.

Avatar m tn 1.) In your opinion, can this yeast infection be passed back and forth between my wife and I? 2.) Besides taking this medicine, what else can I do to combat this? Just to be thorough, here are some of my regular practices: I work for a liquor company so I enjoy a cocktail or two every evening, I enjoy my Copenhagen, I take Ranitadine daily for reflux and heart burn, my diet is rather indulgent, I am taking Celebrex for another matter and I am a bit out of shape.
Avatar n tn I have a yeast infection and have used a 3 day and 1 day OTC treatment and i still have the itch.
Avatar f tn Does anyone know how long it usually takes for a yeast infection to clear up? I just popped my second week of Diflucan, and my symptoms are much better. My red, irritated, itchiness is gone...just stuck with that gross cottage cheese-like discharge. How long does it take to go away?
Avatar m tn and it says that you shouldnt use it without a doctor examining first to be sure yeast infection is the problem... Would it be bad for her or anyone to take this treatment without a doctor confirming it???
Avatar f tn Can my boyriend also have yeast infection? he has no symptoms.. but if he doesnt get treatment will he then pass it back to me when i am cured??
