Hi @mary1234. You may have noticed that I moved your post to this existing thread on yeast infections. Click VIEW & REPLY in your email so that you can connect with others who have experienced this and so that you can read past posts to see what they have had to say.
@shoregal45 @caitmurdock356 @cehunt57 @seaspray @kathymurphy55 and @roberta4306 have some experience with UTI's or yeast infections and may be able to provide answers to your questions.
@mary1234 while we wait for responses, would you mind sharing the symptoms you are experiencing? You also mentioned that you have taken two pills. Were these pill sin response to the infections? Or are you meaning you have taken two antibiotics in the past?

@ethanmcconkey thank you for the mention. It makes me feel useful. My main things are diabetes, CKD and transplant. But yes I have had UTI’s and yeast infections. The only thing I can add to this conversation is my experience with the connection between UTI (or any infection) treated with antibiotics, then the onset of a yeast infection. I particularly remember this happening back in ‘97 or ‘98 after having a hysterectomy and being on antibiotics. The doc at the time had me do a soaking sit bath in as hot a water as I could tolerate with vinegar added, use an OTC vaginal cream or suppository like Monistat (sp?) and eat yogurt (now known as probiotics). Those things did help, but there’s probably newer and better treatments now. Another suggestion from when I worked as a CNA, home health aid & personal care attendant was to always use good hand washing and personal care hygiene. This was especially true for folks with catheters and ostomies of any kind. Good hydration & Vitamin C were thought to be helpful and we passed out cranberry juice daily in the nursing homes when we refreshed the bedside water and passed out snacks.

No. I took 2 Diflucan pills. One on Thursday and the other on Saturday. I never had a yeast infection before unless I was on antibiotics. I don't get it.............
