Yeast infection for 5 days. Diflucan helping very little. What to do next?
Hi all.
I was seen about 5 days ago for vaginal yeast infection symptoms- itching, burning after urinating, white stuff around my clitoris, sex was somewhat painful. I went to my doctor to get some relief, she did a vaginal exam and was positive it was yeast, checked under her microscope to be sure and came back with 3 packages of Diflucan. Told me to take one every other day and if I wasn't feeling better by Monday to come back. Well the same night I took my 1st pill right away and it somewhat helped. I knew it would take time. The following day things were slowly worsening. The burning got more intense. I was peeing like every hour. I was peeing out the yeast itself which looked like shredded tissue in my urine. I was having abdominal pain and sitting down for long periods of time made my urethra area hurt like heck! After urination, just killed me nearly it was so painful. This lasted about 2 days almost 3. Just last night the urethral pain finally stopped, abdominal pain stopped, the frequent urination wasn't as frequent and I no longer was seeing yeast in my urine. I thought finally, getting better. Well this morning I took my last Diflucan and am now seeing the yeast in my urine again, the burning is very mild, and I am seeing yeast around my clitoris again. I know I need to probably go back to the doctor but I am not sure what they do if Diflucan isn't really clearing it up. I have had a yeast infection before and it went away with a cream I never even had to see a doctor but this one is horrendous.

Ok well i have Never heard of peeing yeast before! And ur suppose to take it every day that might be the reason. But sometimes u need more than one kind of treatment at the same time. I assume u went to ur family practice u should go to a gynecologist for this one they'd no better. If u did c a obgyn see a different one
