Avatar f tn Antibiotics will not get rid of a yeast infection. They can cause a yeast infection actually. Your doctor can prescribe Diflucan (not sure if I spelled that right) but it's a pill you take one time and your your yeast infection will be gone in 2 days.
14346590 tn?1451854557 Has anyone taken diflucan for a yeast infection while pregnant. My doctor gave it to me yesterday and I read that it has Not been proven safe for pregnant or nursing women. And no smart comments about "your doc wont give you anything unsafe to take while prego" because I started bleeding a WHOLE bunch last night/this morning around 1am and I had to go to the hospital. That's why I'm asking.

730826 tn?1317943334 I had a yeast infection in the beginning of september and my woohoo is kind of sore like it was then. What are some things that cause yeast infections and what can I do to keep them away? Also, Im ttc and am over a week late (so possibly pregnant) will it harm the baby if Im pregnant and slow down the conception process? (obviously if I know I have a yeast infection I wont be having sex but are there after effects of it and conception?

Avatar f tn But now I have this burning feeling in my breast and read that it could be a yeast infection. It just started yesterday and today I decided to stop feeding him by my breast and just pump. I'm boiling all bottle and pump supplies for 20min. Do I need to see a doctor or can I get rid of it on my own since it just started? Or is it something else and I'm just freaking out?
Avatar n tn what is the most effective and safest way to cure a yeast infection while pregnant?
1158221 tn?1327972603 For the yeast infection you can try eating yogurt. That is a way I was told to help prevent getting yeast infections and if I got one it would help balance things back out. Stay in contact with your dr also and see if there is anything else they can do to help you. I'm sorry you're having to go through so much. I hope both you and your little one are doing well.
Avatar f tn Can Simone tell what to do about a yeast infection while being pregnant in how long does it stay
Avatar m tn ABSOLUTELY NOT! Do not try to have sex while you have a yeast infection or are taking the medication. Give yourself/body time to heal. The infection can be spread to your partner causing him similar symptoms and discomfort. Give it a few days(or at least until you finish the medicatio) then resume the fun and games.
Avatar f tn Doctors recommend monistat for yeast infections while pregnant... I dont recall azo being on the list I was given for medications...

Avatar f tn You need to go to doctor, you should try to get an appt ASAP or go to er, I had an yeast infection when I was somewhere around 34 weeks with my daughter It was so uncomfortable , they will give you antibiotics
Avatar f tn Ive had a yeast infection with my son and my daughter. Yes antibiotics can throw off your PH balance so you could possibly have an infection. Any burning or discomfort should always be addressed with your OB to get proper treatment. In the meantine, drink only water and natural cranberry(no cocktail-too much sugar) and try to eat yogurt daily.

1054108 tn?1314298660 Has anyone was treated for bacterial vaginosis infection or yeast infection during first trimester? What medicine is safe to take for treating these two infections during 12w of pregnancy? My OB has prescribed me fluconazole 150 mg (one tablet only) for yeast infection and metronidazole 500 mg (to take for seven days) to treat bacterial vagnosis infection. She said it is safe however I am still hesitating. Please I need your advices.
