Accepted Answer

Discharge : You need to get a swab taken to give you a definitive diagnosis and treatment. Good Luck

Question 2

it all started the day before yesterday, then yesterday i just got my periods. i've had this before and was told its candida?

Accepted Answer

Candida: Candida vaginitis is associated with  vulvovaginal erythema, edema and possible fissures and dyspareunia.  It occurs usually just pre-menses.  It is characterized by white "clumpy" discharge which is often scant.  The vaginal pH is usually  4.0 to 4.5.

Question 3

hi i had candida took the meds and i was fine. the itch and thick discharge comes and goes now i have this foul smell on my discharge after my periods?

Accepted Answer

Odor after menses: A "foul odor" after one's menses may be due to other than a "yeast infection".  Occasionally this is due to a vaginal bacterial infection secondary to a tampon retained during menses.  See your gyn provider for an exam and culture .

Question 4

my periods are 8 days late and my dr says i have candida (yeast infection). how do i treat this?

Accepted Answer

Yeast infection: Yeast infections may be treated with OTC meds such as:  Clotrimazole, Miconazole, Butoconazole &amp; Tioconazole. Sometimes prescription of Diflucan (Fluconazole)may be indicated.

Question 5

what do you suggest if my periods are 8 days late and my dr says i have candida(yeast infection)!!!help me?

Accepted Answer

Yeast tx: Some tx options include vaginal cream, ointment or suppository for sev. days (7 to 14 days sometimes). OTC meds include monistat (miconzole), Vagistat-1 (tioconazole), Femstat (buoconazole), Gyne-Lotrimin or Mycelex( clotrimazole). OTC meds don’t work ? See your Dr. S/he may order Diflucan (fluconazole) (oral antifungal) that is taken once (occasionally needs multiple doses for complicated cases).

Question 6

my vagina's been itching for a couple of days. now im on period and the itching goes off and on again.if it was candida, wouldnt the itching increase?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: Candida (yeast) infection is usually a matter of balance between the yeast and the body's defense mechanisms.  If the yeast are winning, the itching gets worse.  If the body is winning, the itching may disappear.

Question 7

can infection (candida)delay my monthly flow(period?

Accepted Answer

: Yes, an acute infection may occasionally delay one's period. Good luck.

Question 8

is candida real? i had been on 3 different courses of antibiotic in a short period of 1 month, 3 months later still feel very fatigued and lost weight

Accepted Answer

Fungal infection: yes candida is a real infection. candida is fungal infection. the treatment is anti-fungal therapy - not an antibiotic. taking antibiotic will not do anything to candida infection.  I do not know why you are fatigue and have weight loss- obviously it is something you should discuss with your doctor.

Question 9

can i use nystatin ointment. for extended period for continuous candida groin infection. ?

Accepted Answer

: Yes you can however what would be better is to figure out why you are getting continuous candida infections. Often higher blood sugar sets you up for increased canadida infections. Higher blood sugars is related to diabetes. It would be best if your doctor assessed you for diabetes by doing some blood tests.

Question 10

why do i ovulate buh i have not see my period yet?i'm treating candida infection i dont know if it can be de cause of my delayed period?

Accepted Answer

: If ovulation was proven by a hormone test, and unprotected sexual activity occurred at the time of ovulation, wait five more days and obtain a "home" pregnancy test to ascertain if pregnancy has occurred.
