How long does it take to cure a yeast infection?
So here's the deal. Almost 2 months ago I started getting an itching sensation on my vulva. I was freaked out that it was a STD, and finally got the guts to face the music and go see a NP who said it is very well a yeast infection on the outside of my vagina. (I have no abnormal discharge). She gave me a 3 day regim which seemed to cure the itchiness, but made the area more red and irritated. So then I got more guts and finally went to a gyno who cultured the red irritated area and checked it out. She told me that she saw nothing abnormal but saw some yeast. So there it was confirmed. A yeast infection of the skin surrounding my vagina. She gave me diflucan, in on pill to take and also gave me monistat 7 to use as well. So I took the pill 3 days ago today and have been using the cream since. I feel better with the itching again, but at night, I think I touch the area, so when I wake up in the morning it's red again. I feel like these treatments aren't working.
How long do I have to wait for the treatments to work. Am I just expecting it to cure the yeast infection too soon? Is this something that takes time to heal?
It's just really irritating. It's been almost 2 months and I would like it to go away.
Can anyone give me some insights?
Also, I got to the gym alot and wait to shower and change out of my gym clothes until I get home. I have been obstaining from the gym since the day I went to the dr in hopes that it will help make the healing process go a little faster.
Also, I've been using Dial bar soap to clean the area, is this too strong?

By what I've read about yeast infections they do not have a smell and if you have an infection that does have an odor you should go see the Dr. right away

Okay we'll the first time I ever got a yeast infection was back in march and when I went to a doctorate prescribed me fluconazole 150 mg and she told me to take monistat 3. I did exactly what she told me but then a couple of days later got my period, and note that this is all within a 4 day period. Well after my period, I noticed that symptoms were gone but I was still getting the weird discharge and odor. I've been embarrassed to have sex ever since then because I thought it was just me. Well on wednesday I went back because the itching and burning came back more mild this time and the discharge was worsening. I had noticed I was getting my period cramps so I was just thinking that she wasn't gonna find anything and she didn't even think she was gonna be able to see the yeast, well she did and she told me I had a pretty bad yeast infection (all though it didn't feel like it) so she prescribed me 2 fluconazole tablets both 150 mg and told me to take one pill that day and take the second 3 days later. Well the first time I had a yeast infection and took the pill, the symptoms disappeared the next day, but this time I took the pill and my vulva area is still itching, so I don't know if its working... I still have to take the second one... And im also on birthcontrol so i know that doesnt contribute too much to me getting better....But if I take the 2nd one and it's not gone, what do I do? Is it going to affect my fertility? Does my bf possibly have it? Should I stop taking my BC pills? Should I get a ph balancing pill? Is my period effecting it!?! I have all these questions and no answers! I just REALLY want this thing to be gone because I've had it for soooo long and I want me and my bf to be able to enjoy having sex, not having to hold off on it because I'm embarrassed! What do I do! Can someone please give me some legit, genuine answers! I'm desperate! :((((
You can yeast infections numerous ways! I am currently nursing my first yeast infection that I believe I got from a dirty shower! I think if you tell your mom you think you have a yeast infection, chances are she has probably had one too and will know how to help you! They aren't uncommon to get. She could also help get you into a doctor to make sure it's a yeast infection, and not something else.
