Diflucan And Metronidazole (Top voted first)

Updated

I was diagnosed with BV and a yeast infection over a week ago. I was prescribed the two meds above. I took diflucan immediately, and the metronidazole for five days before the side effects took over my body (mouth sores, stomach pains and cramps, nausea). After day five, I couldn't take it anymore and took the second diflucan because along with the side effects, I just experienced a frequency in urination, burning and itching, but not in the way of a typical UTI. I went back to urgent care and the doc said it didn't look like BV, but yeast, and prescribed topicals that aren't making the itching or pain any better. I am in so much pain and don't know what to do.

Yeast infections are not usually painful. They are caused by a fungus and while they may cause itching, and a cottage cheese like discharge, they aren't painful, according FDA symptom listings.

Diflucan is used to treat or prevent them, but it will not do anything to treat a UTI, since it only treats fungal infections.

What topicals did the doctor prescribe and how are you using them?

I'm kinda in the same boat, I was diagnosed with bv and was prescribed metronidazole 500mg for 7 days. I had my worst reaction to that; my mouth was like swollen like my cheeks were. So I went to urgent care and they gave me steroid shot. After that my vagina has been burning. I figured it was a yeast infection and I used monistat, but nothing worked. Went back to my doctor and got tested. I have no sti at all. They said it was a uti and gave me diflucan. l thought that was for yeast but it just made it all worse; no itchiness, just burning like I'm going crazy. So I made another doctor appointment for tomorrow with a different doctor. Pretty annoying...

Nothing the doctors were doing helped me so I had to do it on my own. For the burning, I drank a lot A LOT of water and took D mannose twice a day with cranberry juice. The taste is horrible but I promise it helps. For the yeast, I mixed coconut oil with a drop of tea tree oil and inserted it inside with one of the monistat applicators. It was Immediate relief. I have continued with probiotics twice a day, probiotic juice, kombucha, and water. Cut sugar out as much as possible. It took me figuring this all out after two weeks of doctors throwing pills at the problems. What I did worked, I am completely better now. I hope this helps for you too!

Yeast, fungal overgrowth that is in the bloodstream can be painful, cause itching. The die off of this fungus is painful. I reduced my dosage, cut out sll sugar and carbs which it feeds off of. Everyone is different. Listen to your body. Best of luck and many blessings to you!!!
