    Question

    i had an IUD inserted about 2 weeks ago and i was put on clindamycin for 1 week after my uid was inserted. i've had diarrhea since i've been on the pills. about 1 week after my IUD was inserted, my vagina has been itchying a lot. what do you think i have? i already had an appointment made, but it's not until 2 weeks from now. i want to know if i can do something about it, since it's really itchy. thank you!

    Answer

    Sounds like a yeast infection - call the doctor, ask if you should try an over-the-counter yeast infection medicine. Good luck!
