Yeast Infection Medication causing increased discharge?

[medquestion]

Like many of you, I have had recurrent vaginal discomfort for a long time now (since July). I have been to the gyno many times and have been treated for everything from gonorrhea to bacterial infections. FYI- I was first diagnosed with a bacterial infection, then gonorrhea, then a bacterial infection again, and now a yeast infection. It is my firm belief that I had a false positive test result for the gonorrhea b/c I had my BF tested 2 times at different places and he was negative both times and even if he had it originally and got treated, we have had sex alot since and I think I would have given it back to him. also, the med. that my gyno gave me for it did nothing to take away the symptoms that I have had and am still having. The symptoms I am having are very slight burning with urination, clear/milky white thin discharge with no odor, and intense vaginal burning during sex only. I have no idea why a yeast infection would not have been detected until now, but aparently I have one. I didn't know I did b/c I do not have the thick clumpy discharge.

Now for my question... 2 days ago I took the fluconazole (1 dose) oral medication for the yeast infection. I feel like ever since I took it, I have a slight itchiness (its not constant though) and my discharge has been thicker but still not clumpy. Is that a normal reaction when you take yeast infection med? Couuld that be an indication that I really did have one and now the medication is clearing it out of my symptom?

Lastly, I have seen commericials for repHresh. Has anyone tried it? It supposedly maintains the pH level.

I went thru this for a long period until I finally saw a gyno specialist (yes they exist I didn't know either till I was fed up) He tested me for ureaplasma and wa la the test was positive took antibiotics and after months of false positive bv and yeast infections I WAS CURED! Look into it!!! UREAPLASMA!!!!!!!

i took the yeast infection medicine the 3 day treatment cuz my bf told me he had a yeast infection and that he had got it from me  but i had no symptoms at all and my discharge was normal so it's been two days after taking all of my medication  and my discharge now is weird it's all white and clumpy but no smell what do i do?

I have taken this med and I didn't notice any increase or change, other than stopping.  I always had 2 doses though just to be sure.  You take one and another 3 days later.  You would think you would need more than one because it had been there so long.  I would say my symptoms went away in about 3 days.

Thanks for the advice. I am pretty sure that they tested me for everything, especially since none of these medications have been alleviating the burning during sex. But, if this yeast infection pill doesn't start working, I guess I am going to have to go back again and I will make sure.

Have you ever taken the oral 1-pill diflucan for a yeast infection? Does it temporarily increase your discharge? How long until you are supposed to feel relief of the symptoms if it is a Yeast infection?

I would have your gyn check you for trichomonos just to rule that out.  Sometimes if you take medicine for the wrong type of infection it will cause your discharge to get worse.
