A member asked:

I used monistat last night, will it hurt my partner if i have sex tonight? i am 47 and we can use a condom if we have to, but we are going away overnight for our anniversary and i want to celebrate and sex is a part of that there is no need for birth cont

Using : Using the cream should not affect your partner in any way unless he has an allergy or sensitivity to the ingredients (most people do not). Having sex while on treatment for a yeast infection, however, could prolong your infection and symptoms. Semen changes the acidity level in the vagina making it easier for yeast to grow. Using a condom would help, but if you choose not to, just know that you might need to continue using the Monistat cream a little longer to clear the infection than you would if you abstained from sex.
