Can Diflucan Cause Spotting Or Periods?

Hi Dr. Manjunath, I was diagnosed with a yeast infection 2 weeks ago. I took Diflucan and a few days later got my period, which came a week and a half early. My period ended Saturday and I noticed I still have discharge so I was told to take the second Diflucan, which I took on Monday. Today, Wednesday, I still had discharge so I took the third pill. What is going? How long will this take to heal? And is the discharge normal?

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Diflucan can not cause irregular period.
You are having this irregularity due to hormonal imbalance.
So consult your Doctor & get investigated for Thyroid Profile, blood sugar & serum Prolactin.
Get ultrasound done to rule out pelvic pathology.
Take care
