Guest guest Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Hi Dee: Yes, I used Gynazole every week for 13 months. I should have said I didn't test positive for yeast while I was using it. I tested for a small growth of Candida Albicans prior to the doctor putting me on it for 13 months. Talk about overkill!!! This was a reknown vulvar doctor. Sherri -------------- Original message -------------- <I used Gynazole every week for 13 months. I didn't have any vaginal yeast, but it didn't do anything to help my vulvodynia.> HI Sherri I can barely believe anyone would use the Gynazole or any antiyeast meds for 13 months. I mean I do of course but am in total shock that any doctor would ever suggest that. WOW & double WOW and hoping maybe that was a typo? If you did hon it's no wonder it didn't help your vulvodynia and if anything made it worse. Quote; "Of the 314 patients treated with GYNAZOLE·1 for 1 day in controlled clinical trials, 18 patients (5.7%) reported complaints such as vulvar/vaginal burning, itching, soreness and swelling, pelvic or abdominal pain or cramping, or a combination of two or more of these symptoms"... and that was ONE DAYS use... WOW... I'm just at a lost for words (for a change) *smile* Hugs honDee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 <putting me on it (Gynazole) for 13 months.... and this was a reknown vulvar doctor.> *sigh* HI Sherri, I think I'm still in shock here and all I can say seeing the above, is PHOOEY on him or her, well reknown or not...just shows to go ya about 'specialists & experts' *sigh* *not that there aren't good ones, but Jeesh it sure seems extreme to me. Or next time hon you even suspect a yeast infection? I'd most definitely have it cultured out, I'd insist on it and what if it was one of the resistant strains? *sigh* (30% are, with the latest figures I read). I never could have done it I'll tell you and of course it's just 'my' opinion, but you are one brave soul. I sure hope you find an answer soon hon.
