Question: Gm.. I suffer from BV often and when given medicines to treat I then catch a yeast infection. I had a tub of cream of metro gel and I used it and gave me a yeast infection. I can't to make a doctor appointment due to being busy at work and unable to take time off due to staff availability. I just had my son last july. I am nursing also completely. I need help with what to take to get rid of both infections properly for me and my son?
Brief Answer:
Precautions advised
Detailed Answer:
Hello Mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
I understand your health concerns and anxiety about it.
I need to know that if you have diabetes or deranged sugar control and if at all yes then what are the usual sugar values?
In my opinion it suggests either a poor sugar control or deranged immunity because of anaemia.
Other important reason can be that you always take medicines alone and then get infected again from your husband.
So take tablet clotrimozole vaginal pessary 200 mg to be inserted in vagina at night for 3 days and tablet fluconazole 150 mg once a week for 4 weeks and give triokit or ASF kit to your husband.
In this time avoid sexual contact or use condoms.
Also wear a cotton based panties and change it regularly and use vwash perineal hygiene solution daily after bath.
See if this regime works otherwise visit a gynecologist for examination.
Take care
Regards
