A member asked:

Tryed taking z-pak for urethra and the symptoms went away after four pills. then. it started coming back again i also have vaginal discharge but i have negative cultures. could it be a yeast infection developing that quick and making worse again?

Transient improvement with azithromycin (Z-pak) suggests infection other than yeast. Most cultures do not show the bacteria that often cause discharge, e.g. bacterial vaginosis (especially if you have odor). Azithromycin doesn't treat yeast, in fact can make it worse. Contrary to popular belief, yeast infections usually cause little or only scant discharge. See a gynecologist soon. Good luck.

No it does not. You need a urine culture and a Gyn exam and treatment for the vag discharge
