ive had a yeast infection for 12 days. i tryd 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 ive been doing different is im 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?
Hiwelcome to ChatDoctori can understand your concernTreatment for candidiasis 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.Don't 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
