I have been on Yaz for almost a month now. Within the first week I developed a yeast infection. I saw my ob/gyn and have now taken 2 rounds of Diflucan, a seven day (vaginal) prescription treatment, and now another vaginal treatment that is one dose (still waiting to see if that one helps). I recall getting chronic yeast infections while taking Yasmin several years ago, although at the time I didn’t see the connection. I’m wondering if it has anything to do with the hormone DRSP which is found in Yaz/Yasmin.

Anyone have the same problem? Were you able to tollerate any other BCP’s? I am interested in Loestrin 24, for the possibilty of short, light, or no periods. Also, the 24 active pills are supposed to decrease symptoms of PMS. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.

I’ve had yeast infection since March because of antibiotics (I had to take a few treatments). First time Diflucan helped, but after another antibiotic the infection came back but never went away. I tried some vaginal creams to treat the infection and it didn’t help. My gyno put me on a 6-month treatment with Diflucan (1 pill every week for 6 months). I already took 4 pills and it’s not even getting better at all. It’s not too bad, it doesn’t itch at all, it doesn’t hurt when i have sex but there’s a lot of white discharge. And it’s kinda weird because sometimes i feel like i don’t have it anymore but later the same day the discharge comes back. And everytime we have sex, my boyfriend’s penis is covered with this white stuff, it’s just disgusting, man. My doc sent the culture to the lab and they confirmed that it’s yeast.
Have you ever had this kind of problem before and how did you get rid of it?
Thank you all

Don’t mean to be overly personal or gross, just trying to give more information so I can get the info I’m looking for. Having yeast and bv going back and forth. The traditional medications of Clindamax (antibiotic suppository) and Diflucan
just keep the two conditions going. Any suggestions appreciated.

my dr told me i have a yeast infection and gave me diflucan however it is sooooooo painful. it feels like someone kneed me in the vagina! is there anything i can do to relieve the pain until the diflucan cures the infection? i already tried a hot bath and advil
