Does Yeast Infection Cause Infertility?
Hello doctor yesterday i went to a doctor and she told me i have a yest infection. she told me to use a gynozol 400. After using i felt burning and itching. Is that common? Should i stop using the medication? The other question, is yeast infection can be a cause of infertility for the future? How could i cured a yeast infection for ever? My last question is my doctor gave me KETOCONAZOLE USP. Is this medicine is useful for yeast infection. Please give me an explanation. Thank you

Hi,
The burning and itching can occur because the area is inflamed from the infection. Yeast infection does not affect future fertility, it does not have a permanent impact. There is no way to predict future yeast infection. Heat ,diabetes, use of medications that affect the immune system - can increase yeast infections.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
