Yeast infection???

Okay so this is very uncomfortable for me but this morning i woke up with an intense itch in my vaginal area. I decided to get in the shower and looked in the mirror and noticed that my vaginal area mostly the labia was a pinkish color accompanied by swelling, I'm not sure if there were bumps or just swelling. I did some research on it and all concludes that i have a yeast infection, it is said that it is very common in pregnancy (I am 33 weeks btw). I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this before and if so how did you treat it? My doctors appt is not till tuesday and I cannot wait that long too fo something about this problem! Please helppppp!

When i had a yeast infection i freaked out and went to the emergency room, i thought i had an std or something. Lol. The dr did an exam and sent me home with a Rx for diflucan. One pill that you take one time and clears it right up. That was before i was pregnant so idk if its safe during pregnancy, but your dr will be able to tell u.

Always ask your doctor. But yes the three day was a miracle.  Mine was better in about two days

I suggest you go to the doctor and confirm if it's a yeast infection or not. If you treat yourself for yeast infection and have a bacterial vaginosis instead, you will only make it worse. Plus, bacterial infection can damage your baby

The 7 day worked really good for me. It went completely away. But after I would put it on it would make me itch worse but it was only the first couple of days. But I heard the 3 day works good as well my doctor also said there was a pill you take one time & it goes away a couple days later. :)

How did the 3 or 7 day cream work for you gals? Did it go away completely after you finished the treatment?

When I had mines I was extremely itchy, really swollen & had some white discharge looks like cotton cheese. You can go to the store & buy the cremes that you inject into you. Some are like a 3 day treatment I believe,  not sure. My doctor prescribed one that was a 7 day one.

Call the office and talk to a nurse. They may have you come in sooner or they may just call in a script to your pharmacy. Or just ask if you can get the otc 7 day treatment from a drug store.

Girl monistat 3 day! It works SO good. My pack i bought came with cream and a three day injection thing that goes into your vagina. The cream is a bonus too for the quick heals. I get yeast infections alot so this was a miracle for me
