Suggest Treatment For Yeast Infection
can i ask a question concerning a yeast infection i ve had for three months (caused by my pregnancy)? I have tried Canesten, no luck. Now, it is Monistat(vaginal creAm for 7 days). the discharge after using monistat is incredible, never seen that before..lumpy and of all sorts of colors(brown, pink, black, beige). sometimes, they look like balls of discharge. My guess is that i am very irritated in the inside. Before Monistat, discharge was light brown.

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
As you are having fungal infection for some time for which you have visited your doctor and got some treatment.
The groin and anal area are prone for fungal infection as it is a normal commensals of this area which is kept under control by the helpful organisms, whenever there is a change in the environment either by the change in the temp, other infection or poor hygiene will invoke the growth of fungus and produces the symptoms.
For your condition I would like to suggest
1.Keep the area clean and dry by applying neosporin powder.
2.Topical antifungal cream like ketaconazole
3.Single oral dose of Diflucan 150mg.
These measures will help you to control the infection and makes you comfortable.
Thank you.
