I THINK I HAVE MY FIRST YEAST INFECTION AND I AM REALLY SCARED WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Question

My doctor gave me anti biotics for my UTI, and now a week later, I am feeling in my v****a hole creepy crawling feelings. Kind of itchy but not too bad, I am very scared because Ive never had one before and I dont know what to do.

I live with my boyfriend and I want to have s*x tonight with him but now I cant. I am scared what should I do?

Answer 1

Since it's obviously your first one and you don't even know if it's really a yeast infection, I suggest going to a gynecologist. Don't be scared. They probably won't really do much. Mine only had to look and figure out I had a yeast infection. But they will give you a prescription for medication.

I would not suggest going and getting yeast infection medicine from Walgreen's if you're not sure you really have one.

I'm pretty sure that vagisil doesn't get rid of a yeast infection. It only stops itching for a little while.

Also, don't have s*x until you get it taken care of. That will only cause you and your boyfriend to pass it to eachother back and forth. Over and over again.

Answer 2

Antibiotics can cause yeast infections.  I usually get a raging one every time I take them.  Especially if I have s*x.  It just makes it worse.

My best suggestion would be to see a gynecologist and let them diagnose you with a yeast infection.  They will prescribe you a medication, either a pill, vaginal suppository, and/or a topical cream.

You can always buy an over-the-counter suppository, but I still suggest seeing your doctor.  You don't want to treat something you don't have.

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

- just go to the drug store and buy a damned cream for it. Just ask the store person, so many women buy them. it is such a common simple problem that you have.

seriously, what is the big deal.. i just dont get chicks like you who panic over sh*t. It is perfectly curable. God!

and OMG  you cant have s*x tonight - or until it gets better! cry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

Answer 4

go to your doctor soo that he/she can give you a proper diagnosis . then theyll give you something to take care of it with . good luck .  

Answer 5

Antibiotics can commonly cause yeast infections because they kill off both good and bad bacteria, making the yeast flourish. Simply go to the drugstore and get some Monistat. I recommend the 3 day vs the 1 day.  

Answer 6

It is not uncommon to get a yeast infection after taking antibiotics for any reason. A yeast infection occurs due to an imbalance in your NORMAL flora, as a result of the antibiotics

If the itching/discharge makes you uncomfortable, you could try an over-the-counter yeast infection treatment like Vagisil. If you are more concerned than that, you should go see your doctor.

You can have intercourse if you want and you won't hurt anything, but it might not be comfortable for you. Perhaps it would be best to wait until you are no longer experiencing symptoms of the yeast infection.

good luck!
