Pregnancy :: Yeast Infection - Diflucan - Risk For Baby?
So I've had a yeast infection since I found out I was pregnant. My doctor finally gave me a prescription to get diflucan. But my insurance want pay for it because they he said it is a risk for the baby. Has this happened to anyone else? Or have you taken diflucan and everything turned out fine? Not to mention she only prescribe me 2 pills one every 24 hours and that's it.

For over a month now I've been itching a lot inside my vagina, like 1/2 an inch in on the wall of it. I've have a yeast infection before but I have never felt this. All there is is an itch. No burning, no redness, no pain at all. But coincidentally, I don't know if this is related to the itching, I've been having small cramps in my lower abdomen area that occur a few times a day and I have also end up having a couple spots of light pink blood on the toilet paper when I use the bathroom. I am trying to get in to see my gynecologist but it probably won't be for a few days to a week. My mom is convinced it's a yeast infection, but I just want to make sure. I want to know if anyone has had anything like this happen to them and what it was.
View 4 RepliesYeast Infection :: Ongoing Vaginal Infections
For nearly a year now, I have battled with ongoing vaginal infections. I started running into these problems a couple weeks after I first became sexually active (which was a little over a year ago). My boyfriend and I are monogamous, and he is the only person I have slept with. However, I keep getting infections, and it doesn't matter whether or not we use a condom. I have gone to the gynecologist countless times, and for the longest period all my cultures proved negative for STD's and infections. Only twice has it turned up positive for a yeast infection. To get into the nit and gritty of things, I have had a thick, yellow discharge with a foul smelling odor (almost like vinegar) and both internal and external (itchy) irritation. It also hurts to have sex, almost like a stinging pain (sorry about all the gross details).
I have done everything to try to ease my symptoms. I have taken many antibiotics throughout the past year to treat my symptoms and nothing has helped, and even if something does help, my symptoms return fairly quickly. My partner and I have been abstaining from sex for over a month now, but medications still will not do the trick. I have switched out my soaps to all natural ones, with no fragrances. I haven't worn synthetic underwear or thongs for a month. I have also been taking probiotics for about two months. Lastly, I have attempted the "candida diet" with little success, because my low blood sugar levels led me to feel extremely faint, and I quickly needed to stop the diet.

View 1 RepliesYeast Infection :: Vaginal Itching For A Few Days
Never had a yeast infection before. I'm 24, never been pregnant. I have been having vaginal itching for a few days. Not sure if it's a yeast infection because there isn't any abnormal discharge. It started A few days ago when I got off my period. My husband and I (who are both monogamous!!) had gone 2 weeks w/o sex due to my period and the week before we were crazy busy. At first I was a little sore after the first time we had sex so I attributed it to the "dry spell" for two weeks. But several days later I'm still having some itching. Nothing too intense, just bothersome. Should I seek treatment or wait it out?

I went to my doctor's office complaining of an earache. She prescribed antibiotics in order to treat the inner ear infection that I had, which in turn gave me a yeast infection. I stopped taking the prescribed antibiotics, and in turn went to purchase medicine to treat my yeast infection. Now unfortunately, I am having bleeding and constant clotting each time I use the restroom. My husband and I have been trying t conceive, but after multiple failed pregnancy attempts, the have all been negative.
View 1 RepliesVaginal Health :: Yeast Infection Or HPV? Discharge And Itching
I female, 29 years old. For the past three years I’ve been only sexually active with my boyfriend, we are living together and are probably going to get married next year. So, it’s a pretty serious relationship. I’ve stopped using birth control about a month ago because the new doctor prescribed me generic which had horrible effects on my mood. For the last week I’ve been experiencing extreme itching in my vaginal area, and it’s accompanied with the white discharge. Over the last three days I’ve noticed 3 small pimples appear and that’s when I started to worry this might be HPV infection. I’ve taken a pregnancy test and it was negative, but we’re a bit low on money now so I can’t get to ob-gyn for at least 3 weeks. Do the symptoms I’m experiencing sound more like I have yeast infection or HPV?
View 1 RepliesVaginal Health :: Bad Yeast Infection - Cottage Cheese Discharge
I have a yeast infection. I've had it for a month. It itched and burned so much and I told my mom maybe 3 days ago. She gave me Canesten which I put on. She also gave me some pills which I take. I get so much discharge that is like cottage cheese (I know this is normal for yeast infections) and I get a lot. I've never had my period, I'm 13 and a virgin and today I looked at my underwear and near the front (like near my vulva or labia or wherever the pee comes out) there was blood! I was shocked and started thinking it was my period, but I looked on beside my pee hole (I sound like an id**t, gah) (I think it's my labia?) an there was a huge cut! I mean, I get cuts a lot on my butt but this was horrible! I had to wear a pantyliner and it was fine, but I went to pee and it BURNED so badly! I told my mom about the blood when I first saw it an i told her about the cut on the phone cause she was at work and she said it was fine but I'm scared! I also have little white bumps on my labia and I've had them for a very long time! They've never bothered me I always thought they were normal, but I just want to clarify it. Also, I hate yogurt and I know it really helps your PHD level but I think it's disgusting!

View 1 RepliesWomen Health :: Bacterial Vaginosis - On Diflucan - With Black Discharge
Basically, my problem arises around 9-10 months ago now. In mid November I had a new sexual partner and within days I started getting weird discharge. I immediately went to the sexual health clinic, and the lady told me I couldn't do a test till it had been a week (or it was 2, I can't remember!). After a week (or two) I went back and got checked for EVERYTHING from chlamydia to HIV. Everything came back clear so I went back and she did a swab, she then told me I had BV (Bacterial Vaginosis). She prescribed me with some antibiotics and I was hopeful these would solve my problem and I would no longer have to worry.. I was wrong. I do think I did have BV that one time, as I've never had that smell since and it was one I can't even describe. I then returned to the sexual health clinic and got told I had thrush. I was given some tablets and cream for that, the problem still didn't go. The discharge wasn't as watery and didn't have the same smell, but it still wasn't right. I returned and once again, back to square one, got told I had BV.. Antibiotics again, then back to the sexual health clinic to be told I had thrush again! I finally got fed up of going to the sexual clinic and booked an appointment with my doctor in hope something else could be done as I was sick of being put on antibiotics. I explained to my doctor everything that had happened and she asked if there's any chance it could be an STD and I said no, as I haven't had a sexual partner since that one time I slept with that boy. I've been too embarrassed to with all these problems, it's knocked my confidence massively! She had a look and said she "had a feeling" what it could be, prescribed me some antibiotics and then told me my test results would be back later in the week. About 4 days later, she rung me and apologised for putting me on antibiotics and told me it was thrush I had. I came back in and collected a prescription for 3 pessaries, after doing this it didn't work. I returned and she put me on diflucan for 10 weeks.
This is where it really starts..
About 6 weeks ago, I was one tablet away from finishing my course of diflucan when I noticed a discharge I definitely hadn't seen before. At first it seemed like blood, but it was very, very dark. I had a check up for my contraceptive pill that week with the nurse so I went in and explained to her what had been happening. Luckily my GP happened to be in that day and the nurse called her in and got me to explain and repeat everything I had just told her. My doctor explained she thought I might have BV which might be causing bleeding, so she tried to prescribe me metronidazole AGAIN. I explained I'd been on it a lot of times before and she changed it to the metronidazole gel instead. She said if it didn't work I should come back straight away. It didn't work so I rung the doctors to book another appointment. This time my discharge had changed and it was no longer black. I took a picture to show my doctor as it was so hard to explain. It was almost a white clump with what looked like blood vessels inside, I can't explain it! Had a pinkish/purplish tint to it. After returning to my doctors I had a different one and I explained everything and showed her the picture and, like every other time, I got examined and had a smear test done. She didn't tell me what she'd tested me for but she said she was almost sure they'd come back clear, but when she did the smear test she had to give me a sanitary towel because I bled a fair bit from that. When I had got dressed and sat down she said "please don't think it's cancer because that's very unlikely due to your age" which annoyed me a bit because I'd never once tried to imply that! Anyway, she rung me later in the week and said the test results came back clear and she didn't want to refer me to a gynaecologist just yet. So she's arranged an ultrasound (transabdominal and transvaginal) for the 12th August. The bleeding has been really bad the past 2 or so weeks, it's been black and I've been having lots of stringy clots. However, the whole abnormal discharge and bleeding together has been going on since November last year! I know I have my ultrasound in a few weeks which will hopefully give me answers but does anyone have any idea what it might be?

View 4 RepliesRecurring Yeast Infections, Is Yeast A Normal Thing?
I am 27 years old. Have had 1 sexual partner for the last year and a half. I've had yeast infections before, probably 1 a year prior to him coming along. in the last 6 months I've had a few yeast infections, and the worst vaginal irritation, including severe swelling, dryness, itchiness, etc. Sometimes I sit in the tub for an hour, and its even gotten to the point where I ice my vagina to decrease the swelling. My doctors have told me irritation is just part of having a vagina. How does that help me?
I'm a very healthy person. Have no std's. Eat basically Paleo and gluten free, and exercise on a daily basis. I stay away from sugars because I fear they will cause the yeast to come. I'm getting worried that the yeast is a sign of something much worse. Then, I read web articles, which talk about immune deficiencies, diabetes, LBS, etc. and get scared, which just stresses me out.
Is yeast a normal thing, or am I justified in being worried?
