Avatar f tn Is there anyway to prevent yeast infections? Other than staying clean down there. This is my 4th pregnancy and I get them constantly throughout my pregnancy. I'm 4 weeks along and already have developed my first one.
Avatar n tn and the discharge I thought I was having was apparently an orgasm -_- my body is confusing lol I took an oatmeal bath around 815pm, got out at 845 and put Jergens Ultra Dry Skin Healing lotion on the red areas and i feel better. The only thing that's really uncomfortable is where i scratched myself.
Avatar f tn I have a constant yeast infection. I have taken a perscribed medication for it and over the counter and neither made it go away. Now I feel I have to choose between my skin and my sexual reproductive health. Is there a way to releive the yeast infection while on the antibiotics, or am I forced to stop acne treatment? I should mention I live in a remote town with no MD, I only get to see him once a year. Also, he gave me 3 months worth of treatment - After this cycle can I stop taking it?
Avatar n tn Hi, I thought it was yeast and self-treated as I've gotten them before. I'm pretty sure its yeast but since posting this I did experience another OB. Initially it started off as a yeast infection and the meds for it stopped the itching and treat it but I realised that the itching persisted and it felt more like how I felt when I had my primary OB. I was still taking the acicyclovir since my first OB around June 8 I've just increased the intake during this OB. I'm treating the Y.
Avatar n tn Im also susceptible in hyper-pigmentation after cuts and grazes, mostly because they dont heal at normal speed and worried that my skin will turn darker in these areas the longer it is there. Can any one offer any advice? Thank you. Just a little concerned.
Avatar f tn they kill the normal flora on our skin and allow yeast to grow. You more than likely scratched the daylights out of it and caused the open sore. Try an over-the-counter medication for yeast infections.
Avatar m tn On April 14th I had unprotected intercourse with another woman. The days passed and I did not think much of this encounter until a couple of weeks after the event a rash appeared on my penis. I went to a GP on May 14th and took a blood test. The doctor thought it was herpes. A couple of days after my blood test I developed a sore throat, then a runny nose, then a slight fever with fatigue. I diagnosed this as a cold and did not think much of it.
Avatar f tn Several years ago a steroid cream was prescribed by gyno for the tears I got from severe yeast infections (presumably due to a chronic health issue and diet). There was never a caution of using too much or too often. Since the yeast infections were recurring, and more tears would appear, I asked my primary care to refill my steroid cream when I called for refills of prescriptions she regularly has me take.
Avatar f tn Something similar happened to me too, except the lesions. I got 2 yeast infections in one month and my skin looks dried out and peeling, even though there is moisture from the discharge. I haven't been able to cure myself yet, so I can't really help. You should go back to your doctor to make sure that the lesions you are talking about aren't something else, like a herpes infection.
Avatar m tn A few weeks ago I got a burning itching on my penis. It would get worse after sex with my wife (turned really reddish colored). Then it got very dry, rough and flaky, still itchy. My wife was getting itchy too so we assumed it was a yeast infection and used some Monistat cream on both of us. Hers went away within a few days but my itching persisted. We've never had a yeast infection before. There was a period of time where the skin on my shaft and head was almost shiny and papery ..
Avatar f tn Has anyone had multiple yeast/BV infections? I've had 3 so far and I think I'm having another! I'm going to ob tomorrow and I'm sure I'll get some meds. It's frustrating. Anyone Else?!?! Please help.
Avatar f tn I was having servere pain in my middle back in the right side so at 1 am on the 5th I went to the er at that point was 22 weeks and 4 days they admitted me into labor and delivery where they found out the pain was due to a kidney infection they kept me on an IV with antibiotics until I was discharged this morning they sent me home with more antibiotics to take to finish fighting the infection but since I got home this morning my vagina has been kinda itchy when I itch it it hurts could that be a
Avatar f tn I've heard you can take monistat for a yeast infection. But I would talk to your doctor first. Treatment for a yeast is different than bacterial, and you should make sure you don't have any other complications before starting something.
Avatar f tn Alternative medicine No alternative medicine therapies have proven to treat vaginal yeast infections. Some complementary and alternative therapies may provide some relief when combined with your doctor's care. Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions, including: Have you recently taken antibiotics? Are you sexually active? Are you pregnant? Do you use scented soap or bubble bath? Do you douche or use feminine hygiene spray?
Avatar m tn So I had a terrible breakout on my entire penis shaft that was extremenly itchy and red. It began to flake and produce bumps along the rash that looked like poison ivy (without the fluid). I had a primary care doctor take a look at it, she said it was NOT herped or warts. She scraped a piece of the skin onto a slide, left for about 30 minutes, came back and said... "yep its a fungus." SO...
Avatar f tn I was on a very low 50 dose but it ask made me sick and gave my husband a yeast infection. I stopped taking it and now I have another one. I'm 38 weeks and praying I don't get a yeast infection again. I don't take baths anymore. Only use summers eve soap. Practically shower after sex.
Avatar m tn and she didnt know she had a yeast infection and gave it to me. so i went to the doctor and he said use a anti-fungal cream and i use it but when i stop it comes back. we have sex with no lubrication, could this be from sex without lubrication or somthing else?
Avatar n tn I recommend starting by taking your dog to your veterinarian for assessment of the itch and medication recommendations. The most common reasons for itchy skin in dogs include skin infections, microscopic skin parasites such as scabies mites, food allergy, or pollen/dust allergies. Since scabies mites are difficult to find, I trial treat dogs for scabies with Revolution every 2 weeks for 3 treatments.
Avatar f tn hello...dosomebody kknow...diferents between-yeast infection and bacterial vaginosis?
Avatar f tn I used to get yeast infections every time I had intercourse. The only way I was able to stop this from happening was by douching with a vinegar and water rinse right after having sex. It was a major inconvenience but it definitely stopped the ongoing yeast infections. And on those occasions when I was too "lazy" or "relaxed" to get up and douche, the infection would return without fail. A vinegar douche really does help, but it is a major "mood disrupter.
Avatar f tn You cant have vaginal sex and then go right to anal sex or vice versa. Its not healthy and it brings bacteria. The yeast infection you probably had, but had sex with your husband anyways before getting treated and then you keep passing to each other. That happened with me and BF. But...if you have no signs of a yeast infection, then your husband is the one that needs to go to the doctor to get medicine to clear it up.

Avatar n tn t happen all the times but most times when I am dry. I am 32 years old and he is 49 I have went to the doctor and I keep getting yeast infections. I use the over the counter meds fr it and sometimes the doctor prescribes me creams but it keeps coming back. Is it coming back because I gave it to him and he brings it back to me each time? He is a diabetic and is uncircumcized but he is very clean and has good hygienes in that department.
