Hi. I have an embarrassing question and am looking for some help. I struggle with chronic yeast infections because I am on chronic antibiotics. My current yeast infection is way beyond eating yogurt and taking a probiotic. I have taken three doses of diflucan, which has helped but hasn't taken the yeast away completely. I have read the yeast can cause infertility and we are TTC. I think that I am struggling with systemic yeast infection. Has anybody else struggled with this? How do you work with it? What doctor would you see about clearing up a systemic yeast infection (as opposed to just a vaginal yeast infection)?

I can't really answer your exact question, but I was just in for a yeast infection that was both vaginal and breasts (I'm breastfeeding) and it was due to Zithromax which I use 3 times a week. The doc who had seen CFers previously gave me an unlimited supply of Diflucan and a topical ointment, which I don't have handy and I'll come back and write down the name of. Anyway, she said that getting chronic yeast infections could cause Yeast Syndrome, which apparently is not a very good thing. I planned to talk to my CF doc about it, though. Not sure if this will be any help, but it sounds like it's definitely something we want to get a handle on.

I had a problem with that last year, except it was in my mouth. My doctor's just kept giving me one or two doses of diflucan, which would not completely get rid of things. So my brother in law (who is a doctor) put me on a more aggressive treatment - I can't quite remember it, but it was something like daily diflucan for five days, and then once a week for the rest of the month. I also started breaking up my probiotic capsules and putting the powder in a glass of water & drinking it. So, maybe you could do some sort-of aggresive treatment in conjunction with taking probiotics and taking the capsules and inserting them vaginally - I do that when I feel a minor yeast infection coming on, and it helps. There are also boric acid suppositories you can buy at some pharmacies & online (I buy them at the one that also sells alternative medicines), that I've found to help.
Sorry you are dealing with this. I HATE yeast infections, esp when they interfere with TTC!
