She did not start the medication yet but will hopefully have a doctor appointment tomorrow. How long does treatment take?
Many thanks.

Okay.... I had about 4 close together once, and I was on pills for 4 days... and then I got a yeast infection right after because when you are on birth control antibiotics put you at a higher risk of yeast infection, and then your birth control is only 40% effective! So if your girlfriend is on the pill, I decided to keep on it to not mess up my cycle. The yeast infection isnt that bad if its detected early, i got a pap and didnt even know that i had it. So she needs to have you use some other form of birth control, get tested at the gyno for a yeast, and also eating yogurt during the time she is on the medication helps prevent a yeast infection because of something with the cultures in it. But if she isnt on the pill, then my experience was always 4 days, i guess longer if it is worse. hope this helps.
