Is It Safe To Use Monistat Suppository As I Have Yeast Infection?

HIi,

I had a colposcopy and she took several biopsies the week before last. I have a yeast infection and since it is the weekend I took a monistat suppository. The dr. said not to use a tampon for 5 days but it has been about 10 days now. Just want to make sure this is fine.

Thank you.

hiiii,

welcome to HCM.
i have read your history and i am also suggesting you that please do not use tampon until infection will be recovered

some home treatment and medicine and some precaution will definitely help u to get rid from yeast infection

sometimes, use of tampon also increases the dryness as well as alters the bacterial flora which leads to yeast infection. this condition is known as bacterial vaginitis.

some medications as well as some precautions are necessary.

Take fluconazole for 3 days after meal

use clotrimazole powder after perspiration, bathing, and swimming

do not wash vagina to much

do not wash vagina and groin area with soap it will alter normal PH of vagina and invite bacteria

use v-wash or clean and dry or intimate area wash two ties in a day for washing vaginal area it will maintain normal PH and bacterial flora

wear cotton based , fresh and clean underwear

do not use soap which leads to excessive dryness. use tea tree oil for toipical external application which has strong anti fungal activity

use topical application of clotrimazole thrice a day will help you a a lot.

you need to maintain personal hygiene, drink lots of water, keep your vagina clean, need to void following sexual intercourse, and have a healthy diet. If your immunity is decreased, to tend to be more prone for infections.hope I was helpful to you.

Hope this may help you
thanks
