Can I Take Oral Anti Fungal For Yeast Infection?

28 years old, 197 pounds and sexual active female. Take Lexapro 20 mg and clonzepam 0.5mg once a day. I have recently been diagnosed with HPV. I have a low grade lesion and will get another pap test done in 3-6 months. I am experiencing some itching on vuvla area. I also noticed that the opening to my vagina is unusally warm. I am currently taking an oral antifungal for yeast infection. Started antifungal two days ago and still itchy and warm outside vagina.

Hi,

I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concerns.

The itchy and warm outside vagina might be due to possible vaginal yeast infection.

Apart taking oral anti-fungal medication, I highly recommend to apply an anti-fungal cream locally into your vagina. Can discuss this further with your doctor.

I also advise to:
- keep good genital hygiene
- some of my patients had found relief in applying Greek yogurt locally
- avoid sexual intercourse until improvement

All the best!
