Eeek! Yeast infections...

I get uti but not yeast infections

On occasion when I take antibiotics, I will get a yeast infection, unless I eat copious amounts of yogurt. Yea, yeast infections are a real pain esp. during hot weather and impedes my sex life as well.

I only got a yeast infection once, and that was when I started taking the pill. I got treatment, went off the pill, and it went away. Never got it again.

I got it once but I cant remember how!

I get them from everything, different soaps, ever since I was little. Almost all medicines give me them.

I tried this thing called candigone, I got it from the health food store. Its for women who get yeast infections a lot and the yeast stays in your body. You can also get yeast in your body from antibiotics and such. Just because its not in your vagina doesn't mean there isnt yeast in your body. It can get behind your eyes, your intestines, etc.

Ive felt a lot better since using the flush. Ive cut down on my sugar intake as well, which makes a huge difference.

Ive had a total of 2 yeast infections in my whole life, im 26. The first one i got from taking high dosage of antibiotics because i had a bad ear and sinus infection and taking massive amounts of antibiotics can cause one. The second one was from flavored lube im alergic to some of the flavored lubes and one gave me a really bad yeast infection.

For some reason I must have a really healthy Vagina, I have never had anything. At least that was notice able. I have never had UTI, yeast infection, bladder infection, or anything else that goes on. I am not sure why, all the women I know regularly have to go to the gnyo. I only have to go once in awhile and one time a year and once I went for a lump on my breast. I most do something right with her.

I use to get them all the time when I was younger. So I stopped taking baths and started taking probiotic capsules and eating more yogurt. Now I never get them.

Only had one, and it itched horribly. Around that time, my sex drive went way down, but I'm not sure if it was because of that or not. It was a little bit tough to get rid of, which sucked.

I put sometimes but after seeing everyone with one in a lifetime, I guess I should have put often. I usually get one at least every two or three months. I use over the counter treatments and go to the doctor if those don't work. I'm picky about lubes and any type of wash I use. Just about anything will set them off. I also clean everything really well to make sure no bacteria builds up.

I've gotten them pretty often (a few times a year or a few times a month for the past 3 years or so). The doctors have put me on fluconazole (sometimes just the one pill, sometimes given me one to take everyday for a few days), monistat, gels..everything. Ugh. So frustrating. I've tried taking Acidophilus, I heard about it online my doctor didn't tell me, but that didn't seem to really help. I've heard cider vinegar works well, but I've never tried it, and wouldn't want to make things worse. According to them I am not diabetic, so that is not why. I wish I could do something to make them go away. The last time I got one, like 3 months ago, the doctor gave me another cream with an applicator to use for 7 days (this ruins my sex life!) I told her I hadn't gotten one in a few months and that my boyfriend was coming to see me (long distance relationship) and I wouldn't even be able to have sex with him after not seeing him for so long, so I asked if there was anything else I could do other than having to put this messy cream in myself for a week and not have sex - she told me that she hadn't had one in over 20 years, so it was not normal, and that this would make it more likely to occur less if I took it for a week. Such a miserable situation.

This week, I got another! They gave me one dose of fluconazole and the next day when nothing changed, I asked them what I should do and they gave me Terconazole as a topical and said to use that for the next 3 days and it will go away completely. I'm skeptical. I wish I could just do something to make them happen less. It interferes with my life, and gets me depressed.

I got them a lot when I was a baby my Mum said. However the one I actually remember was back in April, I got my wisdom teeth pulled and was on antibiotics. Go figure, they gave me a yeast infection. Was the worst!

Knock on wood I have never had any UTIs.

I've gotten them any time I've been on antibiotics and haven't simultaneously been prescribed diflucan or similar med. I also get them occasionally when I use lube that contains glycerine, though this typically is not a problem.

Never thank god

Worst thing ever. Ive had one. I was hospitalized for a severe ear infection and I was put on an antibiotic drip for several days. My boyfriend was coming home from Bootcamp a week later and when I got home from the hospital I had to see my doctor for a checkup and pap smear and she would call me when she got the results. Of course, Now I had an yeast infection. The antibiotics killed all my good bacteria as well as bad, everywhere. I tried home remedies but then had to confess to my mom (I was around 16 at the time) and she went and bought me a treatment. I was cured by the time my boyfriend came home THANK GOD but it was still a crappy expirience. Itchy and discharge, yuck.

I had my first one recently and was so upset.

I voted sometimes. Ive had bad ones for the past month. Ive had strep throat that wouldnt go away and the meds they prescribed made my risk of getting a yeast infection higher. I also can't seem to wear tampons without getting one

I used to get fairly mild ones after having sex and using particular lubes or taking baths with scented soaps/bubbles after I switched birth control pills. Apparently the pills I switched to made me more susceptible or something. They were never bad. And then this one time after not having one for a while after starting another type of bc pill I felt like I had a mild one again, and to make sure I went to a random urgent care whatever because I was out of town. They gave me medicine for a yeast infection and vaginosis, but never explained why and didn't confirm whether I had either problem. The gel they gave me for the alleged bacterial problem gave me the absolute worst yeast infection I have ever had ever. Conceivably. It was horrifying. How bad it was in spite of the anti-fungal yeast killing pills they gave me definitely made me think that I probably didn't have a bacterial problem at all. Never in my life! Haven't had another one since.

I had one once when I took some antibiotics they threw my system totally off. OMG !! Totally wanted to tear my vulva off throw it at the wall and shoot it with a nail gun. Over the counter stuff only mildly helped and after searching on the internet the thing that I found that made it go away and weird as this may be it worked or at least it did for me was garlic. You stick it up in your girl bits and then put in a new one after a few hours.
Yep garlic that stuff is magic. Plus it keeps vampires away

Antibiotics are horrible this way for me. I strongly avoid unless they're very necessary.
