    Default Yeast infection after bv medication.

    Ok. All the c's are out of whack this week. The car is getting checked,cat going to the vet, and cunt is out of order.(sorry if I offend)
    I am almost done with that nasty metronidazole medicine. Melts in your mouth before you can swallow it and tastes oh so pleasant.
    Now I have a YI. I am going to ask the pharmascist(sp) if I can use the one day tioconazole up the cooze cream while still on the other stuff. It all ends in zole so I wonder why the YI after taking it. MetronidaZOLE/tioconaZOLE.
    Momenteraly I am due for my period and want to get this over with so I can cram a tampon in there and get back to work on wed. ARRGH.
    So I guess the question is have you used the otc yeast creams after using the pills (metronidazole)?

    Yep, thats pretty much the standard. BV meds mess your vag's natural balance up and almost always cause a yeasty. The otc cure should be fine, or you could always give your doc a call. They would know that BV meds cause yeasties and be able to write you a script for the good meds over the phone.

    To avoid the YI form the antibiotics, take probiotics on an alternate schedule with the antibiotics, and on another board someone mentioned putting probiotics up the ol' vaj so it's more direct and less likely to get eated by the antibiotics in your bloodstream.

    It's so much easier to take Diflucan (it's the single dose pill for yeast infections). You have to get it from your doctor though. I don't get why they don't just sell it over the counter.

    that one is over the counter here in AUstralia thankfully since I have had recurring YI's this year.

    Could also try taking inner health plus capsules while on anti biotics.

    Really??? Lucky. I've been having a hard time w/both Y.I. and BV for awhile. I'm really effing sick of it.

    I need more acidophilus in my system, I know that for sure. I've been being lazy on taking my vitamins and supplements, I'm getting back on it though.

    me too. have always had trouble down there. i know i should stop having baths with bath lotions etc coz they can disrupt the balance in the vagina too. Yeh my pharmacist always tells me to take the inner health plus if im on antibiotics, they do work well. also limit sugary foods - makes YI's worse.

    Ever since I have danced I seem to have had more infections, another girl at work said she has experienced the same thing.

    ^^ Truf. Sugar and bread/beer will aggravate it.

    I'm prone to UTIs, so I take cranberry daily and drink lots and lots of pure filtered water. I also include a huge dose of probiotics in my morning smoothie.

    K. I went to two pharmacists(one was a really old lady and she had to think about it too much) the other one just didn't leave me with an ok feelong,and finally I called p.p. and they said it was ok to do that. Just don't want to o.d. on the 'zole' products. Nothing like compounding a problem.
    Next question I forgot to ask is if I'm using the 1 day treatment and get my period can I use tampons day 3?
    I would have loved to get the diflucan,but p.p. isn't what it used to be around here anymore. Now it's $$ every visit.( even for a 5 min consult) Fuck that.they would want to test me to be sure it was a y.i. just to charge me.

    I know I repeat myself, but I am all about the boric acid cure, works for both BV and yeast, with little to no side effects.

    Let this be a lesson to make your annual donations to PPFA, and to pressure your congressperson to support women's health issues. :-)

    My doc was nice enough to give me a script for Diflucan at the same time to take after I finished the antibiotics.
