Best Answer

An STD may be mistaken for a recurrent yeast infection if a patient is self-diagnosing. A health care provider should be able to complete testing to tell the difference. See your health care provider for appropriate diagnosis and treatment of your symptoms, and get screened for STDs at the same time.

as an antibiotic, Amox-clav kills all bacteria, both the good ones as well as the bad. This does leave women more susceptible to yeast infections. A yeast infection will itch and burn, and can be spread like an STD so it is important to treat ASAP. You can try to prevent this next time by eating yogurt with active cultures during your course of antibiotics.


When your on your period and you inset or remove a tampon it really hurts could i have a std?

An STD is a possible cause of discomfort when using tampons, if sexually active it's always a good idea to get regular STD screening. It is however more likely that you have a vaginal infection such as a yeast infection that may be making insertion/removal uncomfortable, you may be misusing tampons such as using too high an absorbency, or you may not be relaxed enough. Go talk to your doctor, get tests to see if STD's or infections are a possible cause and go from there in figuring out what's wrong.
