Can I go to a walk in clinic for a possible yeast infection?
Question by Me: Can I go to a walk in clinic for a possible yeast infection?
I have what seems to be a yeast infection but I want to be sure. Can I get treatment from a walk in clinic? Or do they typically not handle female pelvic problems?
I can’t go see a doctor because I have no insurance and I’m not positive that it’s a yeast infection so I want to makw sure it’s not something else.

I work at a walk in clinic where we do pelvic exams. They can diagnose yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis, and trichomonas (if they see it under the microscope). We can also take a sample of cervical mucus and send that to the lab to test for gonorrhea or chlamydia. And if you have any obvious lesions, can test for herpes. We do not do pap smears, prescribe birth control, or do any blood work for stds (like HIV).

I have been taking keflex for a few spider bites and I’m supposed to take 1, 4x a day for 7 days. I think I’m getting a yeast infection but it’s only been 2 full days into the pills. Thanks.

The problem with antibiotics is that they work against all bacteria in your body and do not discriminate against the good or bad kind, so I think it is quite possible you have a yeast infection but please remember that yeast infection symptoms can be similar to other unrelated conditions, your doctor will diagnose for sure.
Good bacteria actually help to keep yeast levels in control, a sort of inner body balancing act if you like.
When the good bacteria are killed off by antibiotics then yeast wins the battle and starts the infection by multiplying out of control.
You need to try to replace the good bacteria, to restore the balance and as mentioned a good way to do this is to eat yoghurt. But you need to eat the variety with the live cultures, commonly marketed as pro biotic.
It is preferable to eat the natural variety at first, if you like this, for best results, at least until you are off the antibiotics.
You will also find that pro biotic products are not just limited to yoghurts I am seeing milk shakes and other items appearing at the stores.

Answer by Emily Dew
Absolutely! Antibiotics wipe out the bad bacteria in your body along with the good bacteria and that leaves you open to a secondary infection. I always make sure I eat a container of yogurt every day when I’m taking antibiotics or else I will develop a yeast infection too.

Is it possible to have a yeast infection without the itching?
Question by Jess: Is it possible to have a yeast infection without the itching?
Lately I have experienced a lot of white clumpy discharge, and also a strong odor. I have been tested for any possible STD’s and the results were negative. I’m pretty sure it is a yeast infection, but i dont have any itching.

Answer by baby I w
Yes, they can come in all forms. You should look for natural products to deal with them. Prescription drugs don’t get to the root of the problem. They just mask over your symptoms. They may help you to cope with your immediate symptoms, but they don’t correct the long term cause of yeast infections.They can be reoccuring and, if you know that it is not an STD then you need to eat better and drink stuff like cranberry juice and, yes, we all know the secret of yogurts.

Q&A: Is it possible to have a yeast infection for years?
Question by : Is it possible to have a yeast infection for years?
I have what I think to be a yeast infection, I have tried both a tablet and a pill taken orally to rid myself of this. It has gotten a lot better, but is still not completely gone. Could this be a really bad yeast infection? Thinking back I remember about two years ago having yeast infection symptoms, and feel I may have been ignoring them for these two years until they got unbearable this year. Is this possible and would it make my yeast infection harder to get rid of?
Best answer:
Answer by Quietscherin
It may be that a yeast infection from before, went away and came back (very simply said). A yeast infection for two years doesn’t seem realistic as the symptoms would have gotten even worse and unbearable, not something you can ignore. It might be that it is a bad yeast infection, see a doctor and he/she can prescribe something stronger.
