A member asked:

I took monistat 3 from last fri-sunday and i had intercourse for the first time again tonight and it burned slightly. is this from the monistat?

Or untreated yeast: This is more likely related to an incompletely treated yeast infection - call your doctor for some Diflucan (fluconazole) which can be taken orally and works as well or better than monistat.
