Do I still have an infection?
About 8 days ago I took Monistat 1 because I believed I had a yeast infection (I did not go to a doctor). I was itchy and it burned like crazy like I expected but after the first day I was totally fine. However, I started to leak the white clumpy discharge which I figured was the little egg thing I put inside of me. Well it stopped leaking and my partner and I thought it was safe since its been over a week to have sex. Afterwards, the condom was filled with white clumps like previously from the medication. I'm just wondering if that's normal or did I do something wrong? Is that part of the medication still there or do I have the infection still? There is no smell, no itching, no burning. Sorry for the TMI, I'm just really curious with whats going on.

Millions of people are diagnosed with STDs in the U.S. each year.
STDs can't be transmitted by casual contact, like hugging or touching.
Syphilis is an STD that is transmitted by oral, genital and anal sex.
Discharge often isn't normal, and could mean an infection or an STD.
STDs aren't transmitted through clothing. Fabric is a germ barrier.
Normal vaginal discharge varies in color, smell, texture and amount.
It looks like the yeast infection is still persisting. Take some precautionary measures like avoid wearing tight fitting clothing like jeans and pantyhose and underwear made from synthetic fibresRemove wet or damp bathing suits immediately after swimming,avoid douching, perfumed soaps, bubble baths and toiletries,change underwear daily,wash underwear in hot water (to destroy fungi) and double rinse (to remove any irritating detergent) and take adequate nutrition and sleep.Also use some antifungal pessaries like clotrimazole, miconazole or nystatin which are available over the counter.If still the symptoms persist then oral antifungals may be needed.
