I have Candidas glabrata in vagina- already seeing a Dr, waiting for medications to arrive. I also have BV now, and 2 weeks metronidazole didnt help. I have resistant yeast, resistant to all azole treatments. Is this why metronidazole didnt work?
I am taking metronidazole for bv. I believe it's giving me a yeast infection because I'm starting to get itchy. Can I take Fluconazole even though I'm still taking the antibiotic. Or should I just get some monistat?

Experiencing vaginal itch/burn. Saw gyn, diagnosed yeast & BV, prescribed flucanazole (1 pill) and metronidazole (7 day). On 3rd full day of antibiotic with no improvement in symptoms. How long before relief? Could it be something else?
