I am on a three day treatment pack of vaginal suppositories for a yeast infection. I’m supposed to use them over night, because i’m laying down and it will keep the medication in. Last night was supposed to be my third day, but I fell asleep without using the medicine. If I wait until tonight to use the final day of medication will it be less effective?
Thanks!
I know this is going to sound bad, but about a month ago I started experiencing vaginal itching, discomfort, a little bit of white discharge; all the typical symptoms of a yeast infection. My mom gets them quite frequently and knows all about them, so when I described to her what was going on, she said we should go get an over-the-counter kit (Canesten 1-Treatment cream). I didn’t check with my doctor if what I had was actually a yeast infection, but all the symptoms seemed so spot on to those of a yeast infection so I figured I should just go for it, what harm could it do. I took the 1 treatment kit, then again I think a little while after (not sure exactly how many days after) since it hadn’t really gone away. Then after the second treatment, it disappeared.
Now I have the same symptoms again. I’m on the birth control pill, which I know is a common cause of yeast infections, so I’m pretty positive that I DO indeed have a yeast infection. I just bought a 1-treatment Canesten pill pack today and I was planning to take it tonight, but my mom thinks I should just try an itch relieving cream (like Vagisil) for now, until we actually go to the doctor and get it checked out.
What I’m mostly curious/concerned about is was it really bad to have taken medication for a yeast infection if its possible that I didn’t really have one to begin with? What’s the worst that could happen, if anything?
Any input would be appreciated. Thanks 
I’m almost %100 positive that I don’t have an STD (*knock on wood*). I’ve only ever been with one guy, and we were both each other’s first time, so I don’t know where I could get an STD/STI from if I were to actually have one.
I have been going through what i thought and was diagnosed with yeast infections and bacterial infections for about 8 months now. The medications the doctors gave did nothing. After suffering for so long i knew that i was being diagnosed wrong. I finally had a doctor who would actually give me a vaginal culture and they found 4+ e-coli. I was negative for yeast and bv. My doctor gave me antibiotics for it and it still remains.I was on the treatment for 7 days. Has anyone ever heard of this before? If so do you have any advice in hopes get rid of it? I have also been tested for everything so that’s all ruled out thank god. I also know that it is bacteria from a bowel, i really do not know how i got this, im very clean and wipe correctly and i do not have anal sex.
So a week ago I got treated with bacterial vaginosis, and I had a 7 day oral treatment. Before I was treated I had this white clumpy discharge, enough to where if I had sex or inserted my finger it would be on the condom or on my finger which is very embarrassing. Now after my treatment I STILL HAVE IT! I’ve read that taking bacterial pills can cause yeast in the vaginal area but I had these symptoms before I was treated so I figure if it was a yeast infection it would have came up. And I know a lot of people will answer saying go to the doctor which I am today I just want to see if anyone have had this problem before…just to ease my mind, or If you might have an idea of what it is.
