Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, Two weeks ago I had a UTI, My doctor gave me a antibitoic for it and also switched my birth control. I think I was infected with a yeast infection so I called my doctor and they told me to take monistat 3 day. It's day two and I'm still getting white chunky discharge that is hard to wipe out with toliet paper. the burning and itching is still there. Is this normal? Also, When i had my UTI I had sexual intercourse the fourth day when I was take antibiotics.. Can I be pregnant? because I heard that antibiotics can make the pill less effective? Is this true?

First of all thank you for sharing your concern with us and showing trust on us. White chunky discharge with itching swelling and pain around vagina is typical for yeast infection . Use it one more day and there should be improvement . If the condition persists then consult with your gynecologist for further evaluation . Few antibiotics and some other medicines can interfere with the effectiveness of contraceptive pills by increasing the breakdown of estrogen by liver that is why it's advised to use second reliable method of contraceptive if you are on such drugs .
This is my initial response and discussion is open until you have any query or need further clarification.
I wish you good health .
sincerely,
Dr. Shardendu Tomar
