Yeast Infection help please!
Hi, I just learned a few days ago that I had a yeast infection, and originally I was very scared because I didn't think they were as common as they seem to be and I didn't know what to do. I called my gyno (it's a free clinic) and they told me to get Monistat day 1 treatment as this is my first infection...well it's been 2 days and I still have discharge. How long will it take to go away? I thought it was only supposed to be one day...

Hello,
You should take the full course of antifungal treatment or yeast treatment. In addition, take some precautionary measures like avoid wearing tight fitting clothing like jeans and pantyhose and underwear made from synthetic fibres, remove 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.
