A member asked:

What's the best treatment to use for a yeast infection? vagisal or monistat?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Monistat: If you believe that you may have a yeast infection, Monistat would be the better treatment. Vagisil is used for the itching associated with a yeast infection. If your symptoms do not resolve after using the monistat, be sure to see your doctor because you may have something else going on that needs treating.
