Question : Taking 3 day internal tablet canesten for yeast infection. After my first night taking it, I woke up, took a pee, then found a little bit of blood when I wiped. Should I be worried? I washed myself down there and wiped again if there was any more blood, and nothing. Should I continue the 3 day treatment?

Brief Answer:
Yes continue canestan

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing..
I understand your concern..

3 days tablet should be completed for complete cure of yeast infection..in severe yeast infection, trauma during insertion of the tablet can cause spotting.. So no need to worry..

Just complete the course of canestan to get relieved from your symptoms.. Avoid excessive use of soap.. Keep vulval area clean and try to avoid recurrent infection..

Hope I have answered your query.. Feel free to ask any queries.. good day
