Will my smelly and creamy white discharge affect my chances of getting pregnant? ## Hi nobantu, You are most likely dealing with a yeast infection; caused by a common fungus known as Candida. Normally the acid balance of the vagina keeps this fungus from multiplying, but changes in the acidity of the vagina (often due to illness, menstruation, pregnancy, some antibiotics, or birth control pills) can stimulate yeast growth. According to baby center.com, having a yeast infection will not directly affect your chances of getting pregnant. If you have any more questions or concerns, please post back! ## Thanx dear, so is there any specific medication I can refer 2 in terms of healing this problem of mine? ## My friend has an infection on her vaginal lips. I told her to go to the doctor but s...

I got this cream in mexico. Its Gentamycin, Clotrimazole, Betamethasone. I was wondering if I could use it to clear up my yeast infection. I have been using it for 2 days now, and its helped with the itching. Should I stop it? Or is it not safe. I use it topically, of course. ## Hello, Yammili! How are you? Actually, since this contains the antibiotic Gentamycin, you could be making your yeast infection worse. Thus, you need to get a proper yeast infection remedy. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Clorixan I asked the pharmacist in Mexico that I needed something for a yeast infection & this is what he recommended. 2 times a day for 5 days is this correct? ## Can Gelmicil help a yeast infection on a man?

I'm nearly 5 years in from my breast cancer diagnosis... I was 34 I'm now 39 and at the end of October it will be 5 years clear! My issue is I've had no side effects apart from slight weight gain and bad skin or skin changes, I've ended up with hyper pigmentation which I'd never had before not even during pregnancies but my worst side effect by far has only been affecting me for the last year and a half but it's pretty much constant uncomfortable feeling down below like when you have thrush, it's itchy and annoying but also lots of discharge much more than normal... I've been advised to stay on it until 2029!!! But I don't think I can, my oncologist said have a break and go back to it which I did and as soon as I stopped the thrush symptoms stopped an...

is gelmicin brtametasona clotrimazol used for any vaginal iritation or swollen in that area ## Hello, Nancy! How are you? It would be best not to use anything for vaginal use that hasn't been specifically formulated for such use. Doing so could cause more issues, according to the FDA, such as infections, skin redness, irritation, spotting, and allergic reactions.

I started taking Minastrin when Loestrin was discontinued. My doctor assured me that it was the best choice because all of the ingredients were the same. I had zero side effects on Loestrin..so I went with it. Now every time I have intercourse with my boyfriend I get a yeast infection. Currently I have a yeast infection/vaginal irritation that WILL NOT go away. (Haven't had intercourse for 6 weeks...and yes, been tested for STIs) I've been prescribed 3 different medications and I've seen 4 different doctors. I've stopped taking Minastrin and will begin LoLoestrin soon. Has anyone else experienced a problem like this on Minastrin? And most important, did the yeast infections every go away!? ## Hello, Lindsay! How are you? Are they certain that it's a yeast infection? ...

Can I use fluconazole to treat a vaginal infection? I have a bad smell coming from this region after having my menses. ## This medication is used to treat fungal infections, such as a vaginal year infection, which does not cause such an odor, according to the symptoms listed by the NIH. An odor is usually caused by a bacterial infection, which will require an antibiotic from your doctor.

I'm experiencing itching in the vaginal area and spores are spreading. I'm continuously itching throughout the night. Also when I'm passing urine at that time I experience irritation. What kind of anti-fungal cream can I use for this? I am in my 1st trimester of pregnancy. ## Hello, Revathi! How are you? Congratulations on the baby! From the symptoms you've described, you may have both a vaginal yeast infection and a urinary tract infection, and each requires different treatments. You need an antifungal for a yeast infection and an antibiotic for a urinary tract infection, as explained by the NIH. That said, you need to see a doctor to discover exactly what you have going on, then have them prescribe the safest medications to use, during pregnancy. It would be remiss of ...

I had genital warts which went away without treatment and they haven't returned for a year now. My pap test also came back normal. I've got itching and a watery or white discharge from using scented panty-liners and I feel pain around the vaginal walls during intercourse. Could it be cervical cancers, or a yeast infection? If it is a yeast infection can I treat it using Canex V cream like I have done in the past? ## Hello, Kendra! How are you? Is there any discharge? A yeast infection usually causes a discharge, but pain is very rare. Have you consulted your doctor to have it checked out? Canex V will only help if it is a yeast infection and the FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including irritation, redness and discharge.

Did any one while on Lyrica have problems with yeast infections? How about your tongue swelling? ## Yes. I have never had yeast infections, and since starting Lyrica, I have been battling them for 2 months. Lyrica's website mentions nothing about this issue, but I am quite positive that it is directly related. Nothing else in my life has changed (diet, exercise, spouse, etc). ## I was also having yeast infection problems on lyrica and I finally figured that lyrica was causing me to have vaginal dryness. Now I use a moisturizing vaginal suppository every night and haven't had a yeast infection since. I would first use a homepathic yeast infection treatment to treat the yeast infection and the immediatly start the moistrizing vaginal suppositories Hope this helps. ## I'm on ly...

I had too much of abnormal whitish discharge an my vagina was itching, I decided 2 go to d Doctor an he gave me green pills which he said they were for infection n it disappeared for a while an I'm having that kind of problem again, I just want to know the kind of infection an the treatment that doesn't involve going to the Doctor....thank you in advance ## I'm not a doctor, so I can give you a diagnosis and treatment. That said, that type of discharge and the itching is commonly caused by vaginal yeast infections. Learn more Candidiasis details here. And if that's what it was, then the medication was most likely an antifungal drug, but I can't tell you which one from just the color. Can you call them and ask what it was?

Can it be a transmitted disease? ## Hello, Candy! How are you? I'm sorry, your posts aren't very clear, but I did provide you some information in the other one that I just answered. It depends on what type of vaginal bacteria is being treated. Yeast infections are not usually transmitted and neither are all cases of bacterial vaginosis. If your taking Flagyl, that is an antibiotic that's used to treat bacterial infections and its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach pain and diarrhea. What did your doctor diagnose you as having?
