Question

Diagnosed through urgent care that i had yeast infectionin the bladder feels like a UTI but was cleared of that can you have a yeast infection of the bladder that doesn t have itchy vagina just pain in the bladder pelvic area no pain while going tot he ba

Answer 1

Altered flora: Antibiotics often alter the normal bacterial flora in the vagina and predispose to yeast infection that may be causing the itching. It would be prudent to consult your doctor as s/he has more information about your health.

Answer 2

Itchy: Common problem related to treating bacterial infections( like your uti) with antibiotics, is developing a yeast infection. You need to see your doctor to prescribe a anti fungal medication and to further evaluate your problem if needed. :)

Answer 3

Monillia Infection: When a female is given antibiotic it is not rare that she will develop an fungus overgrowth in the vaginal vault. Normal in vaginal canal are many organisms. They are kept in balance by the other organisms. When you take antibiotics you kill off many good bacteria along with the bad and then Monilla fungus grows wild. Your doctor can prescribe a pill to take one time to correct.

Answer 4

Hygiene, antibiotics: Depends upon the type of organism. If bacterial there are effective antibiotics. If viral hygiene is most important. If herpes, there is a good antiviral. Your ophthalmologist can evaluate your eye and sort this out.

Answer 5

Probable yeast infec: It sounds like you probably have a vaginal infection. Usually yeast willgive a thick white discharge. You can use over-the-counter medication to treat but you should see your dr. For a proper diagnosis if it doesn't resolve with over-the-counter treatment for yeast infection.

Answer 6

Yeast: An infection ,as you described, is probably caused by a vaginal yeast infection and can be treated with Monistat which is over the counter

Answer 7

Vaginal discharge: Sometimes vaginal discharge has a green hue to it. Typically it's not a sign of infection so long as you don't have any itching or foul smell associated with it. Regardless, however, if you're concerned you may want to see a physician and get checked out for any possible infection, including possible stds. I haven't heard of birth control causing a change in the skin color of the vagina.

Answer 8

Yes: Progestrone only methods of birth control can change the consistency of your vaginal/cervical discharge. During the luteal (or second half) of your cycle, Progesterone cause the mucus to become thicker (preventing more sperm from entering the uterus). Thus, it is normal to have thicker discharge.

Answer 9

See your Dr.: Hard to give a specific answer as the pelvic area is actually fairly large with a number of possibilities that may cause swelling. I would recommend seeing your dr. And having a good exam. Impossible to give you a good answer in this kind of forum. Good luck.

Answer 10

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. if the swelling involves scrotal sac it is likely due to blood protein levels and fluid accumulation. The underlying cause needs to ascertained by your doctor.
