Yeast Infection/Monistat?!
Question: Yeast Infection/Monistat!?
I think I have a yeast infection, I started feeling itchy and noticing more discharge than usual about 5 days ago, a few days after I finished my period!. My symptoms are slight itching in the day and severe at night, dryness and occasional abdominal pain!. I took Monistat 1 (the ovule kind), this past Wednesday evening before bed!. I have noticed that I have more itching than I did before I took the Monistat!. I have been applying the cream that came with combination pack but it only seems to work for about 30 minutes!. Is this normal for the itching to continue!? Should I see a doctor, or wait for a full 7 days first to see if it goes away!? I am unsure what to do!. The itching is really bothering me!.

First please be advised that a yeast infection is easily passed through sexual activity in other words you can give it to your man so make very certain you avoid any of that til well after the synptoms are gone!. Just as you can pass it to him he can have passed it to you!. Now no disrespect to you im not sure of you age or if your sexually active doesnt matter to me its just allways good information to know!.ok take it from me i got A horrible YEAST INFECTION from a antibiotic "Cocktail" I was given for a totally differant medical issue, and if ive ever told the truth, here it is!.!.!.the only, i mean ONLY thing that worked for me was to basically douche with PLAIN WHITE YOGURT!! The PH level of a womans vagina is very very touchy it has to be to keep the inviroment PERFECT for contraception to happen otherwise it would kill off the sperm and we wouldnt be able to have babies!. and when it gets sort of, for lack of a better term, "Thrown Off" it gets angry and fights back with a host of what are Normal yeast cultures that we have in there naturally!. They are for keeping homeostasis, "Perfect balance"!. So when something throws it "off whack" our ph level that is, we fight back!. Now plain white yogurt is full of live cultures (I think thats the term for em) and when you introduce them into this war going on between your legs(again for lack of a better term) Im not exactly sure of the exact way it assists our own natural yeast but it does and for me IT WORKED and it certainly is worth a try Cuz it cant hurt you!. Heres how ya do it or rather how I did it!. I filled up one of those applicators you would use to administer contraceptive foam inside of you and basically i inserted it as i would have the foam!.I would assume that even a cardboard tube or one of the plastic one MINUS the tampon would work also!. REMEMBER to WASH IT WITH SOAP AND WATER if its not a disposible item! Get at least one applicator or two if you can up in there LEAVE IT IN and just use a kotex pad to keep it from getting everthing a mess!.DO NOT douch this too is a way of throwing our own PH level off balance!!. I did this 3 times a day for get this ONE DAY thats all it took for me!. each and every one of those horrible symptoms disappeared!. You certainly can call at the very least your Dr!.s nurse and speak to her or him about using the yogurt remedy!. Once you get that under control youll need to get to the root of why you may have gotten it in the first place so it is less likely to return and antibiotics are a major culprit so are THONG UNDERWEAR!!! Believe it or not more women get a arrray of infections from thong underwear because the stringy is up against your you know!. Its the perfect host for bacteria to thrive in!.These bacterias can then TRAVEL DOWN THE STRING AND THEN IT HAS NOW BEEN INTRODUCED INTO YOUR VAGINA!. So try the yogurt and contact your dr to discuass possible causes and if indeed it is even a yeast infection and not something else going on and hopefully it was just a freak thing and not something that is chronic!. I'll pray for you on that ok!? Www@Answer-Health@Com
