Stop Monistat.: You may have an allegy to monistat. If you are sure this is yeast, you can treat this with an oral pill called diflucan (fluconazole). If not, see your dr. There are other causes of vaginal discharge that may be causing the inflammation.

I assumed I had a yeast infection and started taking Monistat 7-day treatment. After the first use I noticed small pink tissue-like discharge, different from blood. Could this be tissue from inside my vagina? What should I do and what could that be?
