Thread: yeast infecton... what happens?

It isn't uncommon to have an increase in discharge while the YI heals...the diflucan is killing off the yeast, and the infection has to come out somehow.

I'm not 100% sure about the color of the discharge, that's never happened to me personally...but I know that pink/reddish discharge IS a common symptom of a yeast infection for many women, so I wouldn't be too worried about that.

It may take a few more days for your symptoms to clear up. If they get worse over the next couple of days, or if they're not gone by a week from the day you took the pill, I'd call the doc just to make sure you don't need a second dose or to be seen again.

Diva is right...see your GYN if the condition continues for the full five days...you may need a second prescription...

As for blood / discharge colour...that too is normal and even when healthy, a monthly discharge can be pinkish sometimes and not a dark red as expected...

It's wise to always have a followup visit to your GYN after a yeast infection. You should also enquire of douching after your infection is cleared. If you have yeast infection often your GYN may suggest douching at a montly interval using something stronger than the normal over-the-counter douche, but don't try doing things without recommendations from your GYN...

Gosh, what we girls have to go thru and our men think we have life so easy...grrrrrr....!
