A member asked:

Im 39 weeks pregnant with yeast infection. i'm using monistat. what else can i do to make sure this is gone soon? how would my boyfriend be treated?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doing right: You're definitely doing what's right by using that medication. Make sure to have a good diet, stay super hydrated and get lots of rest. Boyfriend can use Monistat externally on penis as well if he is having symptoms. Or, if you're worried he's passing back and forth, then hold off of sex until after the baby is born.
