Does Fluconazole Cause Vaginal Bleeding?

Question: Dr XXXXXXX has my history. I have another question. can fluconazole cause vaginal burning.
Brief Answer:
Not observed.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Fluconazole does not usually cause vaginal burning. The burning sensation is caused by the infection itself. Atrophy or thinning of the vaginal mucosal lining also can cause burning sensation. This thinning is a result of perimenopause/menopause.
Hope I have answered your query. Please feel free to contact for any more help.

I have been using fluconazol for the 3rd week tuesday. How long will it take to get rid of the infection. Alsso i just got my period on the 2nd of october, would you still say it is perimenopause. If use gyno daktarin together wiith the fluconazol pill wouldn't it kill the yeast faster.
Another quedtion. When i used fluconazol last week 26 september i started feeling burning on saturday 4 october again. Does it mean that the fluconazol is not working

Brief Answer:
Miconazole and Fluconazole have some drug interaction.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for your query again.
Here are your answers:
1. The time taken for obtaining relief with Fluconazole depends on the response to the medication and the intensity of the condition prior to the initiation of the treatment.
2. Perimenopause is a term used to indicate the period spanning up to about five years before the onset of the menopause. This period is witnessed by slow progression toward menopause. Symptoms like irregular periods, mood disturbances, weight gain, dryness of the vagina, episodic hot flushes, increased frequency of vaginal and urethral infections etc., are seen during this period. You still get periods during this phase, albeit they tend to get disturbed.
3. Gynodaktarin is a good choice for treating fungal infections. You need to take the opinion of your consultant to combine this with Fluconazole since there is some drug interaction between the two.
4. The fact that you are experiencing burning sensation does not mean that the drug is not working. As I already mentioned, burning can be due to dry vagina also. You should also get periodic assessment by your doctor to know the status of the infection.
Hope this helps.
