Yeast Infection?

Question

I have been trying to nurse what I believe to be a yeast infection for about 2 weeks now. Been drinking water, cranberry juice, eating less starchy foods. Even tried taking baths in apple cider vinegar and dipping a clean tampon in plain yogurt and inserting. I am ok during the day for the most part, it at night as I try to wind down my vagina starts to feel like it's on fire and itches like crazy, keeping me from being able to fall asleep for hours. I am 27 weeks pregnant and was trying to avoid the over the counter Monistat cream because while it did help significantly it burned so bad it brought me to tears for almost a good hour after inserting each dose.  And my yeast infection only went away for a few weeks at most. Any other things to try before calling the doctor??? Picture is of vaginal discharge. 😣

Answer

I would suggest going to the doctor.

Answer

You could be allergic to Monistat. You may need a Diflucan prescription.

Answer

I'm not preggo but I would be super itchy too. Most of the time during the day I was ok but at night It was bad. I do have diabetes so I'm thinking it might be due to that. It's off and on and at the moment I'm ok. I will use vagisil wipes or creams to ease the itchiness.

Answer

They have those inserts, have you tried those?

Answer

If you keep treating it as a yeast infection and it's not going away, it could be that it isn't a yeast infection. It could be BV. Since your pregnant I would really go to the doc just to be safe! Good luck!

Answer

Yeah I'd go to the doctor and take the meds they may burn, but its best to do what works even if its only for a few weeks..

Answer

I'd suggest going to see yourdoctor sweety. That's a awful lot of infection/yeast (if that's what it is) just be cautious until you can get in.

Answer

Go see a doctor Hun. It may be gestational diabetes. Prayers!
