A member asked:
If that is the case after treating bv should i treat the yeast infection that has over grown ?

Can treat it: A vaginal yeast infection is caused by candida, which is a fungus. The antibiotic you were taking to treat bacterial vaginosis would not treat this fungus, so it is possible you now have a yeast infection. Typical symptoms are a cottage-cheese like discharge and vaginal itching. If you think you might have a yeast infection, try an over the counter yeast medication.

Yes: Yeast infection & BV are treated differently. Tx options: 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). If OTC meds don’t work see your Dr. S/he may order Diflucan (oral antifungal)
