vaginapaginai'm kind of full of a few questions that i need some help with. i know i should talk to my doctor about it, but she's not really available at this hour nor till midweek, so i'm going to the next best source (you guys). <3.
i was told that i tested positive for strep, and was given some amoxicilian to treat it. upon reading up on strep and asking around, i was told that it usually is not treated unless you're pregnant & about to have a baby. -- which i'm not. -- so why am i being treated for it? i haven't been taking the antibiotics regularly (life is hectic and unscheduled at the moment) and i'm not really wanting to treat the strep if i don't have to, because i heard it wasn't harmfull and was generally left untreated.
i was also told that i had a yeast infection. i had experienced mild itching ocassionally, but nothing big. i took a diflucan. two antibiotic pills were taken the same day after the diflucan, no more since. that was last monday. i was told to take the second diflucan i was prescribed on the following monday (oct 27). what my question is, if i took a diflucan, why am i still having some itching once in a while? it's not a constant thing, but it does itch and burn when i sit on my gina wrong (as it has with past yeastiebeasties), and my gina has a stronger smell to her. it's not a bad odor, for real, it's just like my 'scent' is stronger or something. it's not bothersome to my fiance, and i don't mind it, it's just a bit stronger than usual so i don't know if it's related to the yeast or not. in any case, why am i still experiencing symptoms after taking a diflucan? ps; i have no stds or other infections. thank you.
any help would be great.
love,
kylie.
