"Female" problem - yeast infection?
I will list my symptoms and tell me if this is a yeast infection:
--first noticed white discharge
--next, itching and swollen vulva on one side
--after that, burning when I urinate
--swelling on vulva seems to have two tiny white bumps now that are painful when I pee
--foul odor
I started taking acidopholus pills today (took 2 so far) and how long will it take for these to work if it is a yeast infection?
Answer:
it sounds like a bacterial infection and the doctor will give you flagyl or clindamycin to kill the bacteria for the infection. Acidophilus pills will take awhile to work. Get over-the-counter azoles (Clotrimazole works best) at the moment. Continue to take Acidophilus pills. You are doing the right thing by taking acidophilus pills continue to take them. Please don't hesitate to go to the emergency room if it becomes progressive. I know it's uncomfortable. The reason why I believe it's a bacterial infection is because you have a swollen vulva and two tiny bumps that are painful. That's an indication that is bacterial. If it gets uncomfortable please don't hesitate to go to the emergency room. And it also might be a uti, in which case he/she will give you the right antibiotic. Drink Cranberry pills and eat Activia.
the symptoms sound like it, but they tiny white bumps concern me. I've never had them with a yeast infection. they make otc anti-itch cream for vaginal area as well as wipes and yeast infection medicine that may provide relief
get to doctor immediately, serious
I usually mix plain organic natural yogurt with 2 acidophiles pills and get relief when I feel a little discomfort, a few of those symptoms sound like a bladder infection or a bacterial infection. If you're seeing the doctor Mon. don't douche just treat the outer area with some anti-fungal cream.
Sound like a yeast infection, but check with doc to be for sure...to cure the itching try apple cider vinegar
yep. get some anti itching cream and the 3 day treatment from one of those yeast infection kits. there are kits that give you anti itching cream with the 3 day treatment. if you cant find it, get some anti itching cream (like aveeno) but not aveeno, get it with hydrocortizone.
The same thing happened to me when i wipped from back to front by accident. It hurt like hell to pee because there was bacteria causing an infection. I put some cream up there and it was like instant relief. Try not to itch because its gonna get worse and its gonna hurt to sit down for a while. Quickly get the cream! if it doesnt go away, you might have a uti which you'll have to get antibiotics for.
