Yeast infection while taking antibiotics
Common Questions and Answers about Yeast infection while taking antibiotics
yeast-infection
I've ha a yeast infection 3 times durin this pregnancy.. And one of the times was due to antibiotics. But yeast infections are very very common in pregnant women with how your body is cleaning its self out and all the hormones. They suck as$ so I hope you feel better soon!
my doctor prescribe me some antibiotics , after taking them I got a yeast infection but it went away after a week I told my doctor about it and she said that yes it happens after taking antibiotics and that it lasted up to 1 week or 2 to go away , but if you wanna treat it there is a 3 day treatment applied at night .
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.
I know this is going to sound weird.... but I was sick and given antibiotics that were safe to take while pregnant...but they gave me a yeast infection that kinda hurts...I'm in a relationship with a soldier who's been gone for awhile and let's just say we are definitely probably headed to the bedroom...Is it safe to have sex with a yeast infection?
Use the cream, finish antibiotics, take probiotics, tablet form even while you're on antibiotics (antibiotics target the bad bacteria but kill the good in the process. Sending in good bacteria (in probiotic tablets) whilst you're on antibiotics means you still have some form of gut protection). After antibiotics, take an SB probiotic to recolonize your gut with good bacteria (this will impact your good bacteria levels in vagina too).
I got a yeast infection after taking the antibiotics I was prescribed so make sure if you get symptoms of a yeast infection you call your doctor
First you must try and calm down. Yes antibiotics will cause a yeast infection as a side effect. You may want to use Monistat 1 day. It's pricy but It does work. If you continue to take a lot of antibiotics it WILL keep coming back. Unfortunately it's a side effect and nothing can be really done about it except if you stop taking the antibiotics. Have you ever tried to see if your DR can prescribe something other than antibiotics for your sinus infections?
Sounds like a yeast infection to me. Taking antibiotics can give you one if you're not taking yeast infection medicine with it.
I would think it's a yeast infection too for sure. I get them while on antibiotics too. Antibiotics kill off any bacteria in your body good or bad and there's a good bacteria in vaginas to keep them healthy and the antibiotics removed the good bacteria. Check with your dr to see if you can use a yeast infection otc treatment.
I was on 4 different antibiotics while in the hospital till the day I left. My baby got put on antibiotics for 4 days for the yeast infection and for the infection in my waters. They told me they would not do a c section unless it was life or death bc I had the infections and it would've been way too dangerous for me in the end!
Agree with above that yeast can be passed between partners. If you had sex while having a yeast infection, your partner could pick it up then and pass it back to you. Do not have sex right now without a condom and talk to him about that.
I had a nasty yeast infection after antibiotics a couple of months ago. Ugh, feel for you. They are so uncomfortable! I did use the monostat one day (diflucan is better in my opinion!!) but I also ate probiotic yogurt (activia).
you said that a vaginal yeast infection is usually triggered after taking antibiotics? i started taking an antibiotic twice a day for my exzema(my doc was afraid it would get infected and i'd get staph) a week ago. i guess what i'm asking is, can any antibiotic trigger a vaginal yeast infection? if so, i'm considering stopping taking this because my exzema is clear but this burning and itching is driving me nuts now.
thanks!
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
ve heard that taking probiotics while taking antibiotics is also good for avoiding yeast infections, especially Acidopholous (which is the bacteria found in yogurt naturally). Maybe that could help you next time you get a round of antibiotics?
And thanks for the your comments!
I just went through a yeast infection thanks to my antibiotics I was just on. Eat lots of yogurt and stay away from fruit because of the sugar and the yeast loves and thrives off sugar.
Don't take an antifungal if you don't have a yeast infection. I'd stop taking it. Call your doc and make sure this is correct.
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..???
Is it a side effect of the antibiotics? Is it an incipient yeast infection from the antibiotics? Is it possible to develop a yeast infection from the antibiotics only days after you've take a one dose suppository of 500mg of Clotrimazole? What is that white paste??!! I'm supposed to start my Micradantine treatment today now that its Monday and the only pharmacy in town will be open.
I was out on antibiotics for 5 days for a water infection, i now think i have a yeast infection. Is this common? I've booked an appointment for the doctors this afternoon. and is it serious?
