I had to go to the ER 9/10/2010, as I had no Insurance. I had burning while urinating, just generally uncomfortable down there, they gave me a pelvic exam and said I had alot of discharge. They also tested me for Ghonhareaa(Cant spell it) and Clamidiya, both test came back negative, the day after the ER visit.
So they think I have some sort of infection. They gave me a shot in the hip, also gave me Azithromycin 500mg, two tablets, which I took as directed. They also gave me Cephalexin 500mg x14 tab, two a day, which I am taking as directed.
This morning I woke up feeling awful, think I have a bit of a fever. I believe i have a severe yeast infection now, it is so painful and uncomfortable. So I went to the Pharmacy and got a Monistat 1 day treatment pack and used it. I have had yeast infections before from taking antibiotics, but this is the worst, most painful I have ever had. PLEASE HELP

I was wondering because this is an ointment for EXTERNAL use and for "temporary relief of itching, burning, or irritation". So I don’t understand what this ointment really does. I have a re-occuring yeast infection (I just treated mine like a couple weeks ago -_- ) and I just bought this gel from a pharmacy. If this is external, does it only take away the itching or does it really work to TAKE AWAY/FIGHT the yeast infection? Because isn’t a yeast infection internal?? If it only relives the external irritations…then why would you need it versus buying a product that can actually fight it?
The title of it also says like "Treats and Prevents Symptons of Vaginal yeast Infection" . Here’s a link to the product..

Help?!
A month ago I have seen a doctor and she prescribed me with an antibiotic, which had taken away this infection. Now I have it again so I decided to go to a pharmacy for self cures.
If this will not treat it, then why do they sell ointments like these??
&what if I try the tubes where you put them in overnight for 3 days or something?

Hi Everyone,
About a month or so ago I got a yeast infection out of nowhere (ive had them before due to antibiotics). I used monistat 3 which didnt work, so i went to the dr. and got diflucan. I’ve never had an issue with monistat not working, and the diflucan took a full week to actually clear me of all symptoms. So i think it was a pretty stubborn infection. Since then i have been tkaing probiotics to help keep things at bay. However abotu 2 weeks ago i had that sudden itching again, but it lasted only abotu 24 hours and i was fine. And then about 2 days ago it was back with a vengance! Def more mild than the previous infection, but still very uncomfortable. Since monistat didnt work for me before, i thought i should go the natural route. I have been using yogurt (that tampon trick) for about 24 hours now and things really feel better. Yesterday I used the tampon twice and instantly i felt SOOOO much relief. I didnt use it at night, and this morning I woke up and it was back to being pretty itchy. Not horrible, but again, very uncomfortable. So I guess my question is:
1. How often should you use the tampon each day, and how long does it take to work normally?
2. Does the yogurt actually work to cure it or is it only soothing my symptoms?
*I really dont want to go to the dr. and get another pill of diflucan as I dont want to further help this thing build a resistance. I’ve also heard of garlic…does anyone know where I can get good garlic pills at like a pharmacy or gnc? I dont wanna buy online and wait days you know? Thanks!
*to Hope: Is there a difference between clotrimazole and that stuff in monostat…micanozole or whatever its called? I’m nervous to make it worse if i take the wrong thing.
** Ref. the trich..thanks, i didnt even think of that. However, aside from being in a relationship for over a year, I have had my normal gyno appt in recent months, as well as when i first went to the dr for the yeast infection. they did a culture and everything came back negative. If things dont clear up soon tho, i will prob go back and look into that option.
