A member asked:

Is vaginal and anal burning a typical die-off symptom while taking flucanozole?

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Confusing question : Fluconazole is an antifungal medication. If you had a yeast infection this medication is typical. Yeast infections can cause vaginal and anal burning and itching. This medication can relieve those symptoms.
