Question 1

i  was given terconazole for a  infection a  year ago and i think i re-infected myself. would monistat 7 do the same or nothing at all?

Accepted Answer

Yeast: If it is a yeast infection then using Monistat would be appropriate

Question 2

i've been using terconazole 4% cream for 2 days. it's not working. can i switch to monistat 3 mid treatment?

Accepted Answer

Sure: But give the terconazole a little longer.  U may still have some sx's for a day or 2 even after infection done.  If not better in a few days and did not see a doc there is a chance it's not a yeast infection.  It likely is though and u can certainly switch to monistat. Good luck.

Question 3

i have recurring yeast infection. i've tried monistat, 6 month diflucan, (fluconazole) (cured me for about 4 months)and terconazole. is there other things i can try?

i think i have a resistant yeast infection,  what should i do? (yeast confirmed 3x by obgyn, took both fluconazole and terconazole and it hasn't gone away. i also took monistat 7 day and it got better but didn't go away.)

Accepted Answer

Azole resistance: About 10% of vaginal yeast infections are caused by types of yeast resistant to all the4 "azole" drugs -- which includes all three of hte treatment you mention. Speak with your doctor about other options,  such as micafungin, nystatin, and others.

See a specialist: It might be time to see a specialist as it seems as if you've tried a lot of the common medications.  A great book to help you as well, is the v book by elizabeth stewart.
