Question 1

what happen if i use an over the counter intravaginal cream(clitrimazole) when i already used (monistat) and didnt cute the infection? i had anal and vaginal sex..

Accepted Answer

About that anus...: There are billions of bacteria coming down into the anal-rectal area all day long... such as E. coli, Klebsiella, and all sorts of other species. Scientists say there are more bacteria in the intestinal tract than there are human cells in our entire body (we are outnumbered). To stay safe, an anus should be reserved for the activity it was designed for, just pooping.

Question 2

which cream is better to treat a candidiasis? i already used monistat and the infection was still there( weeks ago). i did anal/ vaginal intercourse. can i use now clotrimazole? is it a good cream? can i treat me with it? second effects? how to apply

Accepted Answer

Candidiasis: The best thing to do is to go see you OBGY. If you already used cream and the symptoms did not improve, it may be because it is not candidiasis. A physical examination will help get a certain diagnosis, and this will help give you the right treatment.

Question 3

i had yeast infection.took monistat. it went away but my perineum is stil itchy and blistered is this normal?my anus is a little itchy too.what to do?

Accepted Answer

Allergy? Herpes?: A blstering rash in this part of the body always raises the possibility of genital herpes, and herpes sometimes is initially misdiagnosed as yeast. Or it&#x27;s just severe yeast that needs more or different treatment. Or maybe you an allergic reaction to the monistat cream. Don&#x27;t take chances:  see your doctor for professional evaluation. Good luck!

Question 4

i'm a male and feel like i may have developed a yeast infection in my anus. is it safe to insert a vaginal monistat suppository in there? thank you.

Accepted Answer

Safe but ...: Why don't you get an accurate diagnosis first. Not all yeast are killed by that medicine and practice safe sex so you don't get a recurrence!

Question 5

accidentally used expired monistat cream. what could happen?

Accepted Answer

Buy a fresh tube: Harmless but potency might be affected...buy a fresh tube and even if symptoms better treat again..

Question 6

what is the use of monistat 7 cream?

Accepted Answer

Vaginal Yeast: Monistat 7 is a 7 day treatment for a vaginal yeast infection. It is used by inserting an applicatorful of the medication in the vagina at bedtime for 7 days.   Monistat 3 is used for 3 nights and Monistat 1 (tioconazole) for 1 night.  The amount of medication is increased in the shorter timed treatment.  Monistat 7 is more effective than the other two treatments for pregnant women and perhaps non pregnant.

Question 7

is it ok to use vagisil wipes and monistat cream at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Sure: There is nothing wrong with using those together

Question 8

i'm using monistat but i put the plunger in to deep to the barrel so the cream spilled out. now i only have 6 left will 6 still b enough to cure yeast?

Accepted Answer

Yes - absolutely: Missing a dose will not make an appreciable difference in the success of the treatment.

Question 9

ive been taking the 7 day monistat cream and i skipped last night and i had sex last night, what is going to happen now?& should i still continue to take it ?

Accepted Answer

No worries: Missing one day of treatment for a vaginal yeast infection shouldn't make any difference. Neither will having sex. Yeast infections usually don't come from sex partners. Go ahead and use the last dose.

Question 10

if you're told to get monistat- is it the cream or the applicators? and if applicators then 1 or 3 or 7? will 1 being stronger work faster?

Accepted Answer

Depends: The applicator is for vaginal insert, so get it if you have vaginal itch or discharge. If the infection is only on the outside, then the cream will be sufficient. I personally get the 7 days, even though you may only need one dose. You will have left over for the next time.
