Hi ladies!
I had a successful laparoscopic surgery about one week ago. I'm still experiencing some abdominal pain ( which the doc assured me is completely normal) but am now having symptoms of a yeast infection. I take a probiotic and eat yogurt and am ( of course) keeping that area clean.
My question- has this happened to any of u after surgery? Is this a common side effect? This is my first laparoscopic surgery for Endometriosis/ ovarian cysts so I am lost.
Thanks

Im not sure if it is common, but i get them ALL THE TIME! Im able to get rid of them when i start feeling symptoms by incerting coconut oil. It is a trick my PT gave me, not only is it an anti-fungal, but it also gets rid of bad bacteria and mosturizes!
