A member asked:
I have three days left of my 7 day yeast infection treatment. is it safe to use a tampon now? this is the first infection i've had, so i'm not sure.

If bleeding, yes: If you are on your period then yes, please use the tampon. If you are using the tampon for other reasons, then wait until your treatment course is over.

Wait to finish: Since tampon use increase chances of yeast infection, you should wait to finish treatment of yeast infection before re using tampon. Feel better:)
