Question 1

28 weeks pregnant took monistat yeast infection test stick didn't change color uncomfortable itching no odor is monistat 7 safe to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it's safe.: The Monistat test kit measures vaginal acidity to screen for a bacterial vaginal infection. If the color DIDN'T change, then it's more likely that your symptoms are caused by a yeast infection.  Re-read the instructions to confirm that.  The test is accurate in measuring acidity but not particularly reliable in determining what's causing your symptoms.  Still, Monistat 7 is safe @ 28 weeks.

Question 2

hello, i thought i had a yeast infection and took monistat. i took the ph test this morning and it came up blue which supposedly indicates no yeast?

Accepted Answer

Fine. Then you are: cured,unless you're still having   symptoms.

Question 3

i am treating myself for a yeast infection (didnt take a test but usually know what symptoms i have) with monistat 1. its been about 36 hours since treatment and 13 hours since last known symptoms. how long do i need to wait to have sex?

Accepted Answer

: Standard advice is to wait a week. Shorter might be OK, but probably best to wait until symptoms have been entirely gone for at least 2-3 days.

Question 4

it burns when i pee, all std test came back clean had a yeast infection but was told too use monistat 7. still have the burning pain ! ! ! !?

Accepted Answer

Many possibilities: If a yeast infection is causing the burning, Monistat cures many but not all yeast infections, another med may be needed. 
Urine culture can identify bladder infection. 
Spasm of muscles in the pelvis especially the tiny muscles around the urethra can cause burning. Skin infection other than yeast, including herpes can have subtle signs but cause significant burning.

Question 5

yeast infection and i'm taking monistat 3. what else can i do?

Accepted Answer

What you can do:: 1. Wear cotton vs synthetic underwear 2. Avoid wearing underpants in bed at night. 3.  No tight fitting panties ; pantyhose. 4. Use natural tampon/ feminine pads (avoid scented). 5. No douches or harsh, drying soap on genitalia. 6. Rinse genitalia well after soaping up. 
 7. Wear pants that fit loosely, not ones that hug the crotch. 8. Change out of wet swim suits or dampened exercise clothes.

Question 6

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 7

is it safe to use monistat if i don't have a yeast infection? (im not sure if i have an infection)

Accepted Answer

Yes: Unless you are allergic to it, Monostat will do nothing if you don't have a yeast infection. There are other things that can cause discharge though. If your symptoms don't resolve with treatment, see your doctor. Hope this helps!

Question 8

i have a yeast infection on monistat 7 can i masturbate?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Use the monistat as a lubricant.

Question 9

natural yeast infection treatment? i'm allergic to monistat..

Accepted Answer

Non-azole drugs: There are no "natural" treatments likely to help much. There are non-azole treatments, such as nystatin, caspofungin, and flucytosine. Nystatin is available OTC, I think not the others; your pharmacist can help. Or maybe your allergy isn't to miconazole per se, but other ingredients in the cream; you could try other azoles (clotrimazole, terconazole, etc), or oral fluconazole (Diflucan).

Question 10

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.
