hello there, I realised I might have offended ya in some way. I assumed you got it sexually that’s why the jump at the comment I posted earlier. Not all thrush is sexually passed on. Got my facts right. sorry for the embarassment caused =)

minishorts, if u are taking the 150mg tab of diflucan, there’s supposedly no need for a second dose. if it happens again within the span of 6 months(?) then you may need to go see the doctor again.
yeap! it’s not an STD. The partner may be one of the source of re-infection (but if the partner has no symptoms, unlikely to get reinfected)

yuen li or fer would help me confirm that a yeast infection is not an STD… it is rather common to the female population, like i said, 3 out of 4 women experience it once in their lifetime.

dunno lah. the second doctor i went too even told me 5days is not enough. must take it for at least 2 weeks apparently.

in the end i went and bought a diflucan tablet for 24.90 on prescription. Sheesh… do i need it on prescription? When should I take my next dose?

What foods should i avoid?

*hur hur* couldn’t believe you actually posted that! what i said! *haha*
well, YL, canesten is a P medicine here but i thought diflucan is a POM? anyway, *tee hee* i should’ve told her to get a canesten pessary but she wanted something to take in.

aiya woman! in the end went to the doctor’s and gotten a pessary. *hehe* and why 5 days?! i thought either two 100mg pess for 3 days or one 500mg pessary for one-dose treatment?

Gee… You could have just popped into any pharmacy. Or at least you can in the UK. Thrush treatments are some of the most popular over-the-counter products I stock. Examples include Diflucan (fluconazole 150mg, a one-off oral capsule), Canesten 500mg Vaginal Tablets (a single-dose clotrimazole-containing pessary also available in three- and five-dose lower-strength versions) and Canesten cream 2%.

PS “Fungi” is a plural term, and there are many varieties of yeast. Therefore, “yeasts are such horrible fungi.” Alternatively: “Candida albicans, a yeast, is such a horrible fungus.”
