I have a question about vaginal infections yeast and BV?
Heres the history. I went to to urgent care at 15 weeks due to a horrible vaginal irritation. I assume it was a yeast infection due to the white discharge, fishy smell, burning and itching. So the on call practionioner did not want to do a vaginal exam because she said I was too early in pregnancy. She had me swipe the inside of my vagina and she looked at the discharge under a microscope. She said that she did not find yeast, trich, or BV. He said it was just an irritation and told me to use vagisil and dove scentless soap. My irritation continued to torture me. Two weeks later I had my doctors appointment and my doc did a vaginal exam and she put the swab under a microscope and she said that I did have a mid case of BV and she prescribe me metronidozole(something like that), which is an antibotic. It was a 7 day treatment and I got relief on the 3rd day but the symptoms came back and worst. So now I am depress because I am so miserable. So yesterday at my 21 weeks check up I told my doc I am still itching burning and all, so they check my urine and found 2+ leukyocytes(something like that) so she said it was a UTI but when she did my vaginal exam she said just by the look of it, she new it was a raging yeast infection but she was too lazy to put it under the microscope. I ask about the uti they found and she said it was just due to the discharge from the yeast infection. She prescribe we 2 med. Diflucan and some yeast infection creme. The diflucan is a 2day treatment and I began the creme after I finish the diflucan if my symptoms persist. Ok so heres the question Did the antibiotics cause the yeast infection? I took my first diflucan pill yesterday and a couple hours later I notice a bunch of vaginal mucus dicharge yellowish with chunks in it, coming out of my vagina. I been having this discharge all of along but it never pour out like this. Does this mean the pill is working and thats just chunks of bacteria coming from my vagina or do i still have bv. I know some people say the bacteria just dissolves and you cant see it come out. I am not experiencing any itching or burning as of yesterday. Please share your yeast infection stories.

if you took the BV medicine like you were directed to then the BV will be fixed & gone.
The medicine can cause you to have a yeast infection,
because your body is not use to it.
I had bv during my child bearing years i guess thats what they said,
and my bv went away I felt so much better..
the thing is I thought it was a UTI i guess bv and uti feel the same but they arent!
just tell your ob about the yeast infection they will want to give you medicine for that then you should good to go.
if you give birth with yeast infections your baby can get thrush in the mouth
ok some antibiotics can cause yeast infection….if you are using the creme too that could be what is coming out with the discharge. but your best bet is to at least call the doctor/nurse and ask what they want you to do. (finish treatment and then be seen or come in now and be seen)
I haven’t dealt with this-it sounds horrible, but I’d suggest getting a second opinion, because BV can cause premature rupture of the membranes (where your water breaks too early threatening the pergnancy) whereas yeast just causes misery-its important to know the difference. Besides you sound like you are in a lot of pain.
Sounds like you already had a yeast infection and by them prescribing you the antibiotics, they made it worse. The fishy smell sounds like BV so the antibiotics should have taken care of that. The Diflucan should work pretty well for the yeast infection, if not you may need to take it longer than 2 days because the infection was so bad. Stay on your doctors a$$ about it because an infection for too long could cause your water to break.
The BV medicine will tell you in the literature that it is very common for the medicine to cause a yeast infection. If it was fishy smelling, that’s always a sign of BV (or trich or something), not yeast. So I think you really did have BV. And then when you used that medicine, it caused a yeast infection like it normally does.
And yes, when you have all that different type of medicine working to "clear out" everything, you can have chunky discharge, yellow, white, lots more than normal, etc.
Anyway, in the future if you continue to have problems, always ask them to look under the microscope. If you specifically make that request, I personally have never had them deny it.
