Possible yeast infection or something else?

Question

For 5 days now I have had extreme itching and burning. I thought it was a yeast infection so I started treating for that. Now today I still have the itching and burning but there is also blood in the discharge. Is it possible that this is still a yeast infection or does this sound like something else? * note I am sexually active but I have been with the same partner for 6 years now*

Answer 1

I would go to a doctor to get checked out.

Answer 2

If you took antibiotics for the UTI - it is quite possible that you have a yeast infections. Antibiotic medications alter the good ph balance of the vagina and the yeast start to flourish and you develop the yeast infection Antibiotic medications are one of the main reasons that women develop yeast infections. Wearing too tight clothes, (too tight panties or jeans or shorts) Anything that traps moisture in the vaginal area is not good. Chances are, that you have a yeast infection. Go to the supermarket or drugstore - and check the feminine care aisle - there are lots of medications that you can buy over the counter (no prescription needed) Monistat or other brands and try to use one round of the medication - If it clears up then you know it was yeast. you could also try Vagisil - this maybe all you need (unless it is a yeast infections. Vagisil will not cure a yeast infection. but it may help with the itching and burning.) If not, then you may need to check in with your gynecologist to see what else could be going on. I wish you well. If your partner did not always use a condom then it could possibly be an STD (Hopefully not ) Hopefully, the yeast med will clear it up.

No matter what, you should go to the doctor, especially if you've never had a yeast infection before. Blood is never a good sign.

There is still a slight chance for an STI. You might have only been with the one partner for 6 years, but has your partner been so monogamous? I'm not trying to put blame or ruin your relationship, but it is something to think about.

Hello, I'm on the second week and seeing definite improvement on my yeast infection symptoms:

Note that: If the yeast infection doesn't respond to over the counter treatment, prescription medication will likely be necessary. Similarly, if the symptoms return after two months of being treated, you should contact the doctor for professional treatment rather than resorting again to home treatment.

If this is the first time you have experienced a yeast infection, you should schedule an appointment to have the condition treated by a doctor instead of resorting to home treatment

Answer 5

Go see your doctor...it might be some form of Vaginitis which is a bacterial infection. My doctor said people often confuse the two...the vaginitis comes from your anal bacteria...sometimes caused from not wiping properly or can also be caused by diet or even your birth control. Just see your doctor, if it is vaginitis...she'll give you some antibiotics. Good luck!

Answer 6

you might want to get that checked out. it could be a possible yeast infection or candida. and even if you've been in a monogamous relationship, you still could catch it. there are higher risks of getting diseases like these now. if left untreated it could become HPV, PID, or cervical cancer.

be careful. and good luck.

Probably herpes. Sometimes your sores will open up and crack to cause bleeding. The symptoms are itching & burning(ecspecially when you urinate).
