What Is The Cause Of Yeast Infection When On Atrophy?
I am 58 years old and had a hysterectomy 30 years ago. I weaned myself off estrogen 18 mos ago. My GYN doctor recently started me on a estrogen vaginal cream because of atrophy. I have had a bad yeast infection since I started using the cream. Is the cream the problem?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Estrogen vaginal creams can sometimes cause thick white discharge in some persons.
Your doctor can consider providing your with oral or topical creams to help to treat it effectively.
She may also consider a swab to send to the lab for analysis.
I hope this helps
