Yeast infection help

I was having vaginal itching for a week before I finally went to my gyno. She told me I had a yeast infection. She prescribed some cream and Flu... something pills. She said one pill usually works but gave me two in case. I took the first pill and I felt sooo bad the next two days but had some relief. Three days later I took the other pill and the next day I felt sooo bad again. After that I didn't notice much itching at all. The second pill I took on Friday. That Sunday I started my period which lasted until Thursday. On Friday my husband and I had sex. It was the first time in three weeks we'd had sex. I don't think I was very wet. While he was in me it burnt a little. After he finished in my I burnt soooo bad! It burnt that whole night especially when I peed. The next day it was better and eventually the next day everything appeared normal. I'm wondering what could have caused this major burning. I'm going to call my gyno but I was wondering if any of you have any ideas. We didn't use any lubrication. I was also wondering if maybe the burning could have been a result of the meds, my period, and the infection I had. Thanks!


If you think it was because of all that when do you think we can have burn free sex again?

Right after your period is your most infertile time so you're making less natural lube than usual. I would use additional lube during those times as needed.

It could also be that you still have some yeast. I would go back to the dr immediately if you have any more symptoms of yeast like itching.

Not sure of the side effects of that medication.
