Question 1

hi docs, would vagisil help with yeast infection?

Accepted Answer

Vagisil Wipes: might help with itching but won't cure a yeast infection. Over- the- counter medicines for yeast infections include: Micon 7, Monistat, Vagistat, Gynazole, Femcare, Gyne-lotrimin &amp; Mycelex.
OTC meds include Monistat (miconzole), Vagistat-1 (tioconazole), Femstat (butoconazole) (buoconazole), Gyne-Lotrimin or Mycelex( clotrimazole).

Question 2

can i use vagisil for a yeast infection?

Accepted Answer

Not a treatment: A yeast infection is an infection from a fungus and requires an anti-fungal antibiotic like Clotrimoxazle. Vagisil is a topical anesthetic that decreases the itching and burning symptoms but does nothing to treat the fungal cause of the infection. You can use Vagisil for the itching and pain  but you must treat the fungus at the same time.with a vaginal anti-fungal medication. Physician follow up.

Question 3

should i wash with vagisil for yeast infection?

Accepted Answer

Wash is the key: Vagisil wash is a surfactant and water with frangrance.  It will not cure infections.  It is a reasonable body wash and should be considered as such.

Question 4

is monstat or vagisil better for clearing a yeast infection?

Accepted Answer

Monistat: Vagisil cream is designed to help control itching, but doesn't treat yeast at all. Miconazole (Monistat) is very effective.

Accepted Answer

No: Dove, caress, or ivory soap for the vulva and nothing inside the vagina as it mechanically removes the 'good bacteria' that prevents infections.

Vagisil Feminine Cre: Cream (benzocaine topical) can reduce yeast related discomfort but it doesn't treat yeast itself.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Yes, should be fine: Read the instruction on how to use the product properly. I don't see why you can't do this. It is a relatively safe prduct, and quite effective product when used properly. If symptoms not better, consult doc for eval for other causes of vaginitis. Good luck.
