I just had a yeast infection, still do in fact. will tampons aggravate the yeast infection?

Try a pad: If you are being treated with a medication that is inserted vaginally, each time you remove a tampon, medication will also come out. A tampon may or may not irritate tissues that are red or raw from the yeast infection.
