Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I was diagnosed with candidiasis and my doctor gave me Clingen 3 for insertion. I used to get this candidiasis infection every month and it will get well on its own. For the first time I have consulted a doctor. At present, I am not having any symptoms and decided to take the medication course, which also included Fluconazole 150, for the first time. I inserted the tablet and slept. The next morning, I found slightly yellow discharge running down quite fluid. There is no burning or itching. Is it normal after inserting this tablet? I had such a discharge for the first time now. What caused this?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Excess discharge post insertion of medication is because the medicine melts and a part of it has discharged. The yellowish tinge in the vaginal secretions also could be because of the medication. Recurrent candidial infection has to be treated. Please get yourself checked by a gynecologist internally. Also, get your partner treated simultaneously. Avoid having sex till then. Wear cotton panties and loose lowers to prevent fungal infection. Maintain personal hygiene and take plenty of fluids. Get your sugar levels checked, because diabetes could also be one of the reason for recurrent candidial infection.

Thank you doctor,

I had my pap smear done and have attached other test reports for your reference.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Good to know that you do not have sugar (attachment removed to protect patient identity). You will have to take the medication for three days as directed by prescription. You can use the lotion daily. This will help you prevent the infection in the future as well. Take care.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
