yeast infections, UTI's and antibiotics

[poo head]

helloo...hmm lets see, i seem to get yeast infections very easily, one time was the worst when i took antibiotics to get rid of fever, after the fever, but not short after being on the antibiotics i got a really bad yeast infection! i went to see my ob/gyn for constant UTI's after sex etc, so she put me on the generic brand for Bactrim DS (Sulfameth/Trimethoprim) but im scared to go on it, because i know its an antibiotic, and i do NOT want another yeast infection! id rather burn in hell before going throught those again!!! maybe theres just something wrong with me to where i always get stuck with bad stuff, or not, but uh...basically after all of this jibber jabber, i want to know, if i take the Sulfameth/Trimethophrim, will i get another yeast infection!??? help!

Try using gynelotrimine, it is a different type of over the counter yeast infection medicine. I had similiar problems with yeast infection getting completely terrible without any symptoms until it was way too late. (The cottage cheese and thick discharge, but non of it would show until it had been culturing for weeks.)  I could take Diflucan a week straight and still have trouble getting it gone.  I showered twice a day and have for most of my life so I never understood how I had such a problem. After 14 years of the WAR with yeast infections a nurse recommended using the GyneLortimin instead of Monistat and I have not had problems in years. Normally starting on the first day of my menstrual cycle I would use it for the full cycle nightly. Yes gross and messy but after 3 cycles of this I have been problem free for over 3 years. I also like Azo yeast, it is over the counter pills and helps prevent the problem naturally with garlic and other herbs.  
Good luck and God bless,

Use of this medication for prolonged or repeated periods may result in oral thrush or a new vaginal yeast infection (oral or vaginal fungal infection). Contact your doctor if you notice white patches in your mouth, a change in vaginal discharge or other new symptoms.

I am pregnant about 6 weeks and i discoverd from going to my obgyn i have a infection in my urine. They perscribed me sulfamethoxazole-tmp. They said take it jus for 7 days twice a day. however when i got home after reading the bottle it clearly says do not take if you are pregnant or think that you maybe.. So my question is what should i do is it safe to take it.

I was diagnosed with a uti 3 days ago, they put me on bactrim ds and peridium...it has been three full days and the symptoms are still quite strong, especially when the peridium wears off.  I have had many utis in the past and remember the medicines relieving the symptoms quite fast, so my question is should i still be hurting and having symptoms just like in the beginning after three days worth of antibiotics and peridium???

Everytime i go to the gynecologist they tell me i have a yeast infection! I don't understand, why! Sometimes a lot of times I don't even have symptoms (itchy, scratchy, i'm sure you know). The major problem is the cheesy, thick, discharge and sometimes it even looks like clear, booger, thick snot (sorry if I just grossed anyone out)I take lactobacillus acidophilus, eat yoghurt BID, and cottage cheese with added cultures. I am sick a lot eventhough i take about 10 pills or more of different vitamins a day: Calcium (not too much), Juice Plus (www.juiceplus.com)In the morning you take 2 orchard blend capsules (equals daily fruit requirement) and in the evening 2 Garden Blend capsules (equals daily vege requirement) i am a vegetarian so of course i do not just rely on those 4 pills! I love to eat a lot of veges and make sure I have a lot of protien, but since i am sick all the time i try to boost my immunity with vitamins and minerals. I also drink "green goodness" in the fruit section at the super market which is packed with phytonutrients (blended smoothie of veges such as spinache,broccolli, bananas, kiwi, and even BLUE GREEN ALGAE for immunity! olay vitamins QAM (vitamin e, coq10,multi vitamin,greentea)stress tab + iron QHS not to mention ritalin, focalin, nortriptyline for daily headaches. thankgod i work at cvs the discount sure does help. the fact that i have had headaches daily since i was 10, daily fatigue, cold hands, tingly in arms and legs, dizzy, weak muscles, weak immune system, depression, add, irregular periods EVEN ON BIRTHCONTROL!sometimes i wouldnt have my period for 3-6 months and then i had it since january every other week.. and i have wierd hair growth on my body(side of face is hairy,lip,back,arms, feet argh i feel like a man and its really embarassing and brings me down) i decided to see an endocrinologist who i hope will find something wrong with me so i have some answers to some of these problems. I just got my tonsils out yeasterday (haha) so i hope that might make me feel better.. and I am on amoxicillin for infection and oxycontin for pain just until my thoat gets better. I asked the doctor for a script of fluconazole (diflucan) because i knew i would need it with the antibiotic. The question is, should I take the fluconazole now or should i wait to take it until AFTER my antibiotic is finished? What works better? I really don't want to call work and ask. I really don't want to talk if I dont have to. I would appreciate any help about the fluconazole or if anyone has anything similar or knows anything about my bodys problems.
