Suggest Medication For A Yeast Infection
i've had a yeast infection for 12 days. i try'd monistat 1 and cause major pain and didnt work. then i went to the gyn and she gave me Fluconazole which seems to not be really working. This is my 1st infection and the only thing i've been doing different is i'm on a high protein diet and i take oxyelite pro. could this be the cause of the infection? Also i am expected to start my monthly cycle next week could that be a reason for it taking too long to clear?

hi
welcome to HCM
i ccan understand your concern
Treatment for candidiasis
can be managed with either topical antifungal agents or a single dose of oral fluconazole.A single dose of oral fluconazole (150 mg) in acute episodes of Vaginal candidiasis. In chronic patients, the recommended regimen includes fluconazole 150 mg every other day for 3 doses, followed by weekly fluconazole 150-200 mg for 6 months.
if you are taking fluconazole for 12 days, just wait and watch.
Dont worry.
Your high protein diet nothing to do with yeast infection.
your periodic cycles and yest infection are not related to each other
take care
thank you
