Yeast Infection

This is serious Tmi but has anyone got a yeast infection after surgery? I think I have one due to the anti biotics, and my immune system is shot to hell. Thoughts anyone?

I had thrush/yeast on my tongue. I had been sick right before surgery and on antibiotics, then had antibiotics in my IV and post op also. I ate a lot of yogurt drank those little Dan Activ liquid yogurts and took Probiotics. It went away over a wk or two. Depending on your symptoms, you may have to have meds for it.

YES!!!

I sure did, the first one I have had in forever. I used a three-day treatment, and that didn't work completely and did a one-day treatment (different active ingredient) and then finally went to the gyn who checked me out and gave me diflucan.

Sorry you are going through that, it's a pain in the neck.

Well doctor called in a one-a-day for me so I'm hoping it works because I am in so much pain thank you thank you so much for you guys responding I'm glad I'm not the only one fluconazole 150mg is what she prescribed

I was looking for the same info just last week. Those antibiotics just do me in. I had a doozy of a yeast infection after my breast reduction surgery.

Get better!

I did have a bit of one but it was not internal, and it coincided with my period, which it has rarely in the past. It passed on it's own and I have since had another period and nothing.

I wish I would have thought about that to begin with, before the surgery. I could at least had the doc call me in the one day treatment, just in case.

I stay on probiotics full time, because I get them so bad that it melts the skin off like acid. My doc told me that he sends everyone home from the hospital on Diflucan.
