i am currently under treatment for bacterial infection and yeast, have been for the past three days, but it doesnt seem to be helping. could i have an std? im 22 and havent had unprotected sex in about 2 months. My symptoms are an off- white discarge itchiness and soreness in and around my vagina, and this morning there was a dark brown spotting in my discharge. Could antibiotics be making the yeast worse?
Hello and thank you for your question. Hopefully the doctor checked you for sexually transmitted infections when they diagnosed your yeast and bacterial infection. It can take several days for the STI tests to come back so check with your doctor's office to see if they did the tests or not. If you are on a yeast treatment as well as the antibiotics then the antibiotics should not make the yeast worse. It may be that you need more time for the symptoms to resolve. If after one week on the antibiotic and yeast treatment you are still having symptoms, then you need to go back to the doctor for further testing. If you develop fevers or pelvic pain then go to the emergency department. Thank you for using Chat Doctor.
