    bleeding after hydro

    I had my first hydro done last monday and i am still spotting and having pain. for the first couple days i wore maxi pads and now i am still wearing a panty liner. Is this normal? It almost itches a little bit too and am wondering if being on the macrobid also has made me get a yeast infection.. just looking for some advice..

    thanks Lisa-

    Hi Lisa,
    I can't speak about the hydro because I am actually having my first one on Wednesday. I just wanted to let you know that my uro told me that Macrobid would not cause a yeast infection but it surely did for me. When I was there on Friday and mentioned this to him he seemed very surprised. I know it was the Macrobid because I am not prone to yeast and had not had an infection in years prior to starting the Macrobid. I hope he puts me on something different after mine or gives me something for the yeast at the same time.

    I have been diagnoised for 6 1/2 years now. I have taken a long break from the ICN but really miss helping out my fellow IC patients and want to get back into posting.
    1st hydro 4/07 showed no visible signs of IC but tons of mast cells in all my biopsy samples which did prove IC.
    2nd hydro 4/13/09 showed dark purple glomerulations and I had a capacity of 450 cc's. This hydro proved that my IC had progressed.
    I have tried every oral medication as well as rescue instills and DMSO.

    I have been lucky enough to see Dr Hanno, the top IC specialist in PA who has told me due to the fact that I have not responded to any "standard" treatments that I have a severe, end stage case of IC with a horrible quality of life (didn't have to tell me that last part!)

      Thanks for writing me back I appreciate it..this is a new website to me and I have enjoyed reading about all of you! Its nice to know that I am many friends who have the same problems that I do. Thanks for listening! I was wondering what all of you thought about the Elmiron. My doctor wants to put me on it but I swear there are more listed side effects on the bottle than what the drug is supposed to do..it just makes me nervous being on it. I had one doctor tell me that I have IC and another one who said that I have just a small gray area of IC..so what would the Elmion do? Whats your opinion?

        Lisa,
        To be honest, I haven't seen any real improvement with it yet but I've heard that it can take up to 6 months to see results and I've been on it about 5 months so we'll see. I have to say though even though I usually get side effects from meds I haven't had any problems with Elmiron. I don't get any of the stomach problems with it and as of yet my hair has been fine. I have so much hair though I would have to lose a heck of a lot before I would be able to notice anything. I figure I'll try it a little bit longer but if I don't see some results soon I may ask the uro about stopping it espically since with my crappy insurance it costs me $120 for a three month supply.

          First of all, let me give ya my standard disclaimer that I am not a doc and the best thing is to call and speak to your healthcare team. That being said, it can be a couple things in my experience, either spotting from the hydro, or a yeast infection. The yeast can irritate the walls of the vagina and make them bleed, and your right the macrobid can do that.

            I usually have a little bit of bleeding for no more than two or three days after a hydro. I do think you should contact your doctor to be certain you don't have an infection.

              My dr. also told me that macrobid wouldn't cause a yeast infection, but it did. It was a very bad one because I didn't have it checked. I thought the macrobid wouldn't cause it. I agree with the others, you should have it checked.
              I am having my third hydro this Wednesday. I am not looking forward to it. I hope that yours has helped you.

                  I bleed a little the first few days after a hydro. Vicodin is probably causing your constipation. When I take any pain medication I always take a laxative/stool softner so I don't get constipated.

                    I usually just bleed a day or 2 from a hydro. As to the macrobid, can't really tell you anything because I never used it, my doctors usually puts me on Levquin. Glad you are going back to your doctor for a followup visit. Let us know how it goes.
