A member asked:

Should i see a doctor first before using monistat ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Monistat 7: Monistat 7 is "over the counter" and does not require a prescription, but it is only effective against yeast (fungal) infections, so if it does not work, see your gyn for an exam and a culture to be certain it is yeast causing your discomfort.
