female only Baking Bread

[NDN_RN 527]

I am six days out and still on Clears until Thursday. I noticed today as i was wiping that I felt a bit irritated. I remembered that odor bread had as it's rising with yeast before you bake it, yep i think it's a yeast infection. I have not had one of those in years. Is this common post op?

Are you taking an antibiotic post op?I got thrush in my mouth post op but I was taking antibiotics for 10 days post op.Do get some meds for the thrush but start taking some sort of live culture (pills you can open and take directly on your tongue if you are not eating yet.)There is also drinking yogurt with live cultures in them that should help.

Got flooded with ABX at the hospital, none at home. Cant do yogurt yet, I will do the old monistat thing until I see the doc on Thurs

Uggh. Not fun. At least I'm not alone (not to say I want you to have it, LOL) At least I am not the oddball.

Yes it is common. They do pump you full of antibiotics in the hospital, so with one goes the other. I would just give your surgeon a call and ask them to call you in some diflucan. I swear by that stuff one pill and I'm done.

I just had my daughter go to student health at her college to get some Diflucan. Luckily, mine was temporary and self resolved.
