I ask because I have had a recurring yeast infection for 2 years that has been treated with every treatment there is, to my knowledge. I would like to get the copper IUD, but I read you can’t get it during vaginal or cervical infections, but a nurse at the doctor’s office told me she doesn’t think yeast infections count as a contraindication. Does anyone know the answer to my question? Thanks in advance.
Dolly- I’ve tried fluconazole. Came right back.
Krusti- take cranberry pills as directed on the bottle (some are more concentrated that others) for atleast 2 days after you have sex, and drink lots of fluids when taking them.
Dr. Doly – Would a doctor refuse to insert an iud if I have a yeast infection?

Hi, my name is Steffany I’m 23 years old and I have a question. Aproximately around September 2009 I developed an irritation and pain after sexual intercourse for the first time of my life. I got worried and I ask my PCP what could it be, we agree that it was most likely Yeast, so I go some over the counter suppositories, the irritation was still there so he recomended to take a single dosis of Diflucan and after that it will be completely gone. Well it didn’t go away so I went to the OBGYN she took a culture and looked it up on the microscope, it came up to be Yeast as we assumed before, she also tested me for Chlamydia because of my symptoms of pain during and after sex,I got also tested for HIV, Syphilis, sugar and Thyroid, everything came up normal and negative. My OBGYN gave me a vaginal cream that I used for 7 days,during those 7 days I got my period but I keep on using it, at the end of the treatment the infection was gone, but 2 weeks later it came back. I went back again to the OBGYN she looked up another sample under the microscope and the yeast was still there (at this point I was already following all the hygene advices that she gave me) She told me a few more hygene habits and some things that I need to avoid and she gave me another prescription for Diflucan (single dose) I took it and follow all the instructions avoiding sexual intercourse and everything. During the waiting time after taking the pill, I got my period and the infection was gone, but not for too long, every since then I been getting the same symptoms at least 1 week before my period comes, with the exception that I don’t get the irritation or pain, but I do get the white discharge without smell and the itchines. I don’t know what to do, it is very unconfortable and discusting to me. I have to say also that I’m married, been with same sexual partner for the last 5 years, I just turned 23 years old yesterday, and I been taking oral contraceptives for about 4 years (I used Yasmin and about 3 months ago I switched to Ocella the alternative for Yasmin) I haven’t been on any antibiotic treatment, and always but, even more after the first diagnosis of yeast, keep good hygenic habits. I will apreciate if you can guide me on what to do since I don’t want to go to the OBGYN have them do a culture and give me another treatment that will help only for a few weeks and then it will come back. Thank you for your help

I have a bad smell coming from my vagina. My discharge is clear but it smells absolutely awful. I am on birth control and this is the only time in my life that I have had this problem. It’s worse after I have sex with my boyfriend. I bought a 1 day yeast infection treatment but I’m afraid it won’t work. I am really scared, someone please help me!!
