Answer by Delicious K
If there is fertile cervical mucus then it should live 3-5 days. I don’t know how the yeast infection may affect it. My conclusion is that it won’t matter.

Will a yeast infection go away on its own?
Question by 0864213579: Will a yeast infection go away on its own?
I have a yeast infection and am also menstruating. I am pretty uncomfortable about using a suppository right now – will the infection clear up on its own or do I need to get medication? Also, is there a pill I can take or is the only option the suppository?

Answer by Diego
My advice is to see your DR soon.he or she will perform a pelvic exam, test the discharge and depending on the results, have you take a antifungal and or antibiotics to get rid of your symptoms. In the mean time I would avoid baths, hot tubs, spas, douching, and eat yogurt that contains lactobacillus. Lactobacillus is a type of “good” bacteria that’s common in your vagina. It may help reduce recurrent vaginal yeast infections. Hope this helps

Q&A: What if a yeast infection goes untreated?
Question by hngh: What if a yeast infection goes untreated?
i think i have a yeast infection, but im leaving tomorrow for 3 weeks to a foreign country, so what will happen in those 3 weeks? ive had it for maybe 5 days, but noticed only now.
and what over the counter products can i get that actually work?

Answer by jkregger
You need to try to get to the doctor. It’s very important that you do not leave a yeast infection untreated for 3 weeks. The symptoms may get worse. Also, you will be unfamiliar with where and how to receive medical treatment in this foreign country. It would be for the best to get a prescription to take care of it.

How to tell vaginal discharge from a yeast infection?
Question by Emma C: How to tell vaginal discharge from a yeast infection?
I have sometimes white and sometimes yellow but it doesn’t smell bad or like anything at all. I don’t know if it is a yeast infection or not but I am too embarrassed to tell my mom. I have had it for a while and I think it might be my period coming. Please help me!!! I am so worried
Best answer:
Answer by sokokl
Discharge for a yeast infection is usually clumpy like cottage cheese. Some women also will notice itching and redness.
Because you have had it for a while and aren’t noticing any other symptoms it does sound like your period could be coming soon.
I know you are embarrassed to tell your mom about this but she really needs to know about this so that she can help you keep an eye on the situation.

Why do I keep getting a Yeast Infection, And a UTI right before my period?
Question by always left behind: Why do I keep getting a Yeast Infection, And a UTI right before my period?
I usually treat it with AZO, the Yeast Infection kits, and Acetaminophen.

Answer by Larkin L
Could be your diet.
Vaginal yeast infections occur when new yeast is introduced into the vaginal area, or when there is an increase in the quantity of yeast already present in the vagina relative to the quantity of normal bacteria.
If you have diabetes mellitus or are pregnant or taking oral contraceptives (birth control pills) or antibiotics you may get an infection. The use of douches or perfumed vaginal hygiene sprays may also increase a woman’s risk of developing a vaginal yeast infection. Improper ventilation – say wearing nylons too long, tight pants, etc, can contribute to getting an infection.
Consider going on a yeast-free diet, no sugar (as sugar feeds yeast), no alcohol – so no cakes, candy, sweets, etc.
*Take Lots of acidophilus/probiotics or eat Unsweetened Yogurt
*Avoid tight jeans and other tight trousers
*Wear cotton underwear during the day
*Wear no underwear to bed
*Put a tsp of apple cider vinegar in a 6-8 ounce glass of water and drink it 2-3 times a day.

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.
Best answer:
Answer by Shadow
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).

Q&A: Should we still try to get pregnant if im pretty sure I have a yeast infection?
Question by : Should we still try to get pregnant if im pretty sure I have a yeast infection?
We have been ttc for 6 months, pretty sure i have a yeast infection but my fertile time is now!!!!! We both want to get going for it but is that a good idea? Can i treat a yeast infection if I am pregnant and will it affect anything?
Best answer:
Answer by RockSteady
It may actually hinder your chances of becoming pregnant, but I would start treatment for it right away. If you tell your Dr you’re ttc they will give you something safe for baby to be. I would put a call into your Dr tomorrow so you don’t miss this window of op for the month and Good Luck!!

Q&A: Does a yeast infection caused a missed period?
Question by proud mommy of twins: Does a yeast infection caused a missed period?
I have had a yeast infection before. But now Im itching again down there and my period hasn’t shown though I already went through pms last week. Two questions:
1- can a yeast infection be the cause of my missed period?
2-Can the internal vaginal procedures cause a Yeast infection? I went through a pelvic ultrasound and a HSG within two weeks of eachother about three weeks ago.
Best answer:
Answer by Faye
Yes, a yeast infection can be related to a late period, but it’s not necessarily the cause. (It could be hormone changes that cause the yeast infection AND the late period.) Before treating the yeast infection, take a pregnancy test, just in case! If you are pregnant, it would be best to discuss with a doctor before using anything over the counter — some types of yeast infection medicine explicitly say not for use while pregnant, but you won’t know that until you read the fine print inside after purchase!

How can you tell when I yeast infection is curing?
Question by Annie is okay but not us 🙁: How can you tell when I yeast infection is curing?
I’m a 14 year old virgin and I think I have a yeast infection because I had some itching and a little bit of a fishy smell. So I went to my doctor and he prescribed me this pill that I take orally.I took it about 2 hours ago and now my vulva is itching badly.Is this a sign that it is clearing up because it wasn’t itching before I took the pill and if not, then can you tell when it is curing?
Best answer:
Answer by Detroit Cutie
Okay if you smell fishy that isn’t a yeast infection that’s something different like a Hygiene issue.
The itching is a symptom of a yeast infection. DO NOT SCRATCH IT.
If he gave you a diflucan or an antifungal pill it should clear up in a day or two.
KEEP THE AREA DRY AND CLEAN! This will help with the itching.
To prevent a yeast infection in the future eat a lot of yogurt, stay away from a lot of sugar, don’t wear your pants too tight and try to keep the area as dry and clean as possible.

If my antibiotics caused an oral yeast infection, do I stop taking them?
Question by Barbara: If my antibiotics caused an oral yeast infection, do I stop taking them?
Or do I keep taking them and treat the yeast infection at the same time?
Best answer:
Answer by myeatyou!
You finish the antibiotics and treat the infection at the same time. You may also have to do another treatment after you finish the antibiotics.
