is it safe to use the kind of yeast infection cream you have to insert directly into the vagina while pregnant?

Question

It might be a possibility that i'm pregnant, i now got a yeast infection, is it safe to use the vaginal cream to treat it if I am pregnant?

Answer 1

Depends: It depends on the type of product that you are using. Monistat is one product example that is safe to use while pregnant. It is important to read on the box to see if it says that the product is safe to use while pregnant and that it doesn't cause any birth defects or anything like that during pregnancy.

Answer 2

yes: Any of the otc anti-fungals as well as the current prescription medications for a vaginal yeast infection are safe to use during pregnancy.

Answer 3

Probable yeast infec: It sounds like you probably have a vaginal infection. Usually yeast willgive a thick white discharge. You can use over-the-counter medication to treat but you should see your dr. For a proper diagnosis if it doesn't resolve with over-the-counter treatment for yeast infection.

Answer 4

Yeast: An infection ,as you described, is probably caused by a vaginal yeast infection and can be treated with Monistat which is over the counter

Answer 5

Vaginal discharge: Sometimes vaginal discharge has a green hue to it. Typically it's not a sign of infection so long as you don't have any itching or foul smell associated with it. Regardless, however, if you're concerned you may want to see a physician and get checked out for any possible infection, including possible stds. I haven't heard of birth control causing a change in the skin color of the vagina.

Answer 6

Yes: Have you had sex in ethe last month? If so do a pregnancy test and find out good luck.

Answer 7

Yes: Progestrone only methods of birth control can change the consistency of your vaginal/cervical discharge. During the luteal (or second half) of your cycle, Progesterone cause the mucus to become thicker (preventing more sperm from entering the uterus). Thus, it is normal to have thicker discharge.

Answer 8

See your Dr.: Hard to give a specific answer as the pelvic area is actually fairly large with a number of possibilities that may cause swelling. I would recommend seeing your dr. And having a good exam. Impossible to give you a good answer in this kind of forum. Good luck.

Answer 9

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. if the swelling involves scrotal sac it is likely due to blood protein levels and fluid accumulation. The underlying cause needs to ascertained by your doctor.
