So, despite only taking antibiotics for 1 day, I still got thrush.
Wonderful. :rolleyes:
Treated it with the over-the-counter stuff.
Now I’m spotting badly :eek:
Pretty sure this is not a good sign.
But I’m really not going to see the doc again if I can help it.
Ladies, anyone been here?
Or am I once again a medical oddity?
Once again a thread with a promising title fails to contain links to movies of naked slumber party tickle fights.
Or even just descriptions of same, which would be cool, and not against board policy (hint, hint).
What kind of medication did you take for the thrush? Depending on what you used, it can cause problems. (Insert standard IANAPharmacist, but a pharmacy technician with immediate access to People Who Know About This Sort Of Thing.)
My mother is a RNC, and she works for a Womens Health and Birthcenter. She say that if you have any unexplained bleeding, you need to see a doctor immediatly. You can go to a nurse midwife or a nurse practitioner if you have problems with doctors.
She also said that Thrush only causes bleeding if it is VERY bad.
You need to see a medical professional of some sort.
No suggestions for this time, irishgirl, but next time you have to take antibiotics, try taking an acidophilus tablet with every antibiotic pill, and using Diflucan rather than any of that messy suppository stuff. That’s always worked for me.
used canestan pessary, which is a one-off treatment.
i actually found it pretty convenient…until the spotting.
the thrush symptoms have gone, so i’m thinking it’s the meds that mucked me up so badly, rather than the yeast infection.
it’s getting a bit better, and i really don’t want to see the doc, as i’m not in any pain, and don’t have a fever or concurrent UTI or anything.
so i’ll wait til monday, and if it hasn’t cleared up i’ll go over.
irishgirl, go and get yersen down to the doctors - Don’t leave it 'till Monday, sort it out now.
Is thrush a yeast infection?
This might sound yucky but it really works.
Get some plain yoghurt with bifidus and acidophilus in it, then lie on a towel with your legs spread and lather yourself with it. It is really soothing and it cleared it up for me in a day!
no! the thrush is gone, cleared up, fine.
but i’m spotting.
so, has anyone else had this? what happened?
Excuse my ignorance…
The first time I heard of thrush was in relation to breastfeeding. I take it from your posts you’re not breastfeeding, right?
Why did I open this thread?
Whhhhyyyyyyyyyyy???
no, not breast feeding!!
and there is a TMI…
I thought thrush was in the MOUTH… and that the “other” stuff was in the cootchiedealie.
