UPDATE: My dr contacted me back and said I’m ok to use a regular cream for yeast infection. Others may get a different answer.
I had a hysterectomy/excision surgery 2.5 weeks ago and I'm 99% sure I have a yeast infection. I have my post-op visit on Thurs and I already left a message for my doctor but has anyone come across this situation? I'm impatient so I figured I'd ask here.

Nothing in the vagina for at least six weeks. Wait for your doc to call back.
Hi! I just came across this in google I also just had a hysterectomy for stage 4 endometriosis and 2 weeks post op now I think I have a yeast infection.. itches and burns when I pee.. great lol
Can I ask what helped you and what you used to help?

That's awesome. Maybe it's because the initial tissue is healed but the deeper tissue isn't? I remember my surgeon saying something about that; that the vaginal opening heals by 2-3 weeks but it's the deeper muscles that we want healed before anything like taking a bath or sex. Maybe that's why? Either way, sorry if you don't like the cream!
@A MyEndometriosisTeam Member You're a GENIUS. Diflucan IS available as otc in Canada! Next time I go, I'm buying some!
Since I live near Detroit, MI, Canada is like an hour or hour and half and I used to go there and buy my daughter's formula (when she was a baby obviously) bc the cost of that was insanely cheaper! I found that out by accident when we were there for a day and ran out.
