thank you so much for your comments it has definatly eased my concerns and i will be sure and go check it out with a doctor if it doesn't clear up
Sometimes the 1-day treatments just aren't enough. You should really use the 7 day regime. It's easier on your vaginal tissues and you are less likely to develop a strain that is resistant to the azole drugs.
With that said, if the infection did not clear up with otc treatment, it's time to go see a doc. Just be aware that having treated yourself first, there is a good possibility that he may not see any yeast even though it is probably still there. 50% of all yeast cultures, koh preps and slides are negative.
hi u said you "hope"its a yeast infec. U should make sure, cause medication for yeast infec. can cause other problems if what u use it and have something other than a yeast infec. Doc. can tell easily if u do, could be bacterial infec. good luck let us know...
hello. I had a yeast infection back in August. I tried the monistat one. It seemed to clear up symptoms for the most part, but I knew it wasn't fully clear. I went to the doctor and he said if were to ever use an OTC med to always choose the 3 or 7 days treatment. He said they work better. He gave me the diflucan pill and within a day or so I was back to normal. hope this helps.
