Question 1

can i completely cure a yeast infection while on antibiotics? or will it just keep it at bay? (monistat).

Accepted Answer

Can be treated: while on antibiotics; however, I do not suggest using Monistat unless you have an  active infection with symptoms.

Question 2

how to cure a yeast infection asap? i'm a virgin so i'm not very all about using monistat so i wanna try a home remedy

Accepted Answer

Can try pills for ye: The anti fungal creams can work on the outside of the vaginal lips without breeding to insert into the vagina. Also your provider can prescribe the oral anti fungal tablet fluconazole (Diflucan)

Question 3

i took monistat 1 to cure a yeast infection and its been 4 days and there still itching and today i noticed a foul odor. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

See a GYN MD: The foul odor suggests a different type of vaginal infection(bacterial) rather than yeast. See a GYN MD and confirm the absence of yeast and the presence of another infection needed for Rx.

Question 4

i took monistat 1 day to cure a yeast infection 4 days ago. i now have a really thick pearly white discharge. is this just the medicine or still yeast?

Accepted Answer

Itching test?: If you are still itching with the discharge, then the yeast infection is still present and needs further Rx. If not, it is the Monistat medication "leaking" out.

Question 5

how do i cure a yeast infection when i am allergic to the over-the-counter drugs like monistat and gynelotrimin (clotrimazole)?

Accepted Answer

Other medications!: Good morning, 
there are other medications such as Diflucan (fluconazole) that are prescribed by physicians if there is evidence of infection by yeast. Allergy to Monistat is very rare, but possible. Please visit your doctor to confirm the diagnosis and seek treatment if needed.

Question 6

i am using monistat 1 (tioconazole) to cure a yeast infection. does the ovule stay inside the vagina, or does it come out?

Accepted Answer

Stays inside: It stays inside the vagina and "melts".

Question 7

which monistat cures yeast infection?

Accepted Answer

They all do: Check out http://www.Monistat.Com/monistat-products for various Monistat options. However, since you're posting your question as a 35yo male, do realize that Monistat is intended for vaginal yeast infection, not other types of yeast infection that might occur elsewhere (in men).

Question 8

can i take acidophilus while using monistat for yeast infection?

Accepted Answer

Yes: You will not have any interactions or difficulties while taking acidophilus and Monistat at the same time. Good luck.

Question 9

which out of these should i take for reocurring yeast infection: fluconazole, monistat, femmesil, difulcan?

Accepted Answer

See the doctor: The first question is why you are getting recurrent yeast infections. Diabetes, antibiotics and birth control pills may increase your risk of recurrences. Also be certain the diagnosis is correct. There are different causes of vaginal discharge and discomfort. A wet prep can help answer the question.

Question 10

could monistats cure a very sever yeast infection?

Accepted Answer

Often - yes.: If not responding to an otc cream- a physician may order Diflucan (fluconazole) (oral antifungal) that is taken once (occasionally needs multiple doses for complicated cases).
