I have taken those and it goes and come back, it will be gone for about two weeks and come back

My midwife was fine with taking an over-the-counter remedy, but said not to get the one day treatment (maybe too potent?not sure) Also, eating yogurt or taking acedophelus (SP?) supplements are more of a natural remedy that she asked me to do first....I rarely needed the o-t-c meds. Good luck!

Hello. Last week I began having symptoms of a yeast infection: vaginal itching, soreness during sex, and discharge like cottage cheese. I visited the doctor about 4 days after the symptoms started and she confirmed that it's yeast. I completed the Monistat 3 over the counter treatment, and the infection seemed to be clearing up after the second night. However, one day passed after finishing the product and the symptoms have begun again.

One pill an the yeast is gone. OR, I use ONE day monostat over the counter which has the highest concentration of medicine in it. It takes about two days to work as all over the counter yeast medications do not work immediately (diflucan does). Also eat probiotic yogurt, wear cotton underwear that you change whenever you sweat, let yourself air out occasionally. Do not douche, EVER. So, probably the best thing to do is talk to your mom about this.

I wud always check with the doctor before using anything over the counter. Just to be on the safe side. If something over the counter will work there's no reason they won't ok it so it's always safer to check first. I wud hate to use something that may have a negative effect on my pregnancy. Good luck!!

Many yeast infections are now resistant to the over the counter treatments, and maybe you need to get a prescription treatment, and it wouldn't hurt for your husband to, as well. You could be passing it back and forth. If your doctor is just telling you to use OTC stuff, you might find another doctor.

You should go to the doctor for a swab to tell for sure what infection you have and get the correct treatment. You could try to treat it yourself with over the counter meds, but if it isn't yeast, doing so could make things worse.

Yes i got a yeast infection at 3 weeks pregnant and did over the counter i was scared for the baby but did my reseach and it was perfectly ok for the baby :) good luck

This sounds like a yeast infection. You can by treatment for this over the counter at any pharmacy in the sexual health section. Treatment is usually a 7 day cream that you use in your vagina, or you can go to your doctor and get a prescription pill.

So I think I have a yeast infection is it okay to take over the counter meds for it? Not the pill but the cream? I know it's tmi sorry :/ 13 weeks and 3 days btw.

I had chronic yeast infections and the doctor only gave that to me because the cream wasnt working. Did the dr do a swab at least to confirm a yeast infection? I would try the over the counter for 7 days which is the best one to use, and also treat your fiance or he will pass it back to you once you go back to having sex again. I wouldnt have sex until the 8th day. Just my opinion as I have been through this so many times and now I know.

but target is the place to go for the over the counter medication for yeast infections try that and hopefully it works for you as it has for my girlfriend

I just talked to my OB about a yeast infection today. He perscribed me the same single dose pill. He said the pharmacy thinks it shouldn't be allowed but he said it was okay.

for yeast infection the best thing to do is eat yogurt....naturally kills the yeast. my gyn told me to try that because i used to get a yeast infection after every period....it really works for me so it might for you too....i think cranberry is for kidney infections...good luck...

Women get it after taking antibiotics (when ALL bacteria is killed including good bacteria we need to have), douching and other ways. it is treated either over the counter of preferred, to go to the doctor, get checked out and then a systemic pill is given which works fantastic.

Two days later, I had really severe itching and pain. I thought maybe it was a yeast infection and so I took over the counter 1 day monistat. It helped at first and then came back shortly later. I decided maybe it was something else and so I went to a docotor and she said it was a yeast infection and I was prescribed one pill of Diflucan and it helped for awhile. Again, the incredible itching, dryness, and raw and sore feeling returned.

t hurt to urintae but when urine touches my area it burns I know it is not STDs but have no clue what type of infection I have can it be a yeast infection and should I purchase over the counter creams and save me a trip to the drs...

I was out on antibiotics for 5 days for a water infection, i now think i have a yeast infection. Is this common? I've booked an appointment for the doctors this afternoon. and is it serious?

They now have a testing kit to let you know if it in fact is a yeast infection. But yes they do have over the counter meds for it. if they do not work or it comes back then I would go see your dr.

) Not really necessary and likely not what you are even seeing. It does sound like a yeast infection. They sell over the counter medication for this -- little eggs that you follow directions and place in the vagina at night when you go to bed and this releases the medicine. Takes a few days. But since you've never been diagnosed with a yeast infection, doctors recommend seeing them for diagnosis (they swab it) the first time and treatment. They make a pill you take for it too.

I am a few days in and I think I am getting a yeast infection due to the side affects. Typically, I am allergic to yeast infection treatments over the counter (monistat ect) and I only get them if I am on antibiotics. So, docs will usually give me a pill to take orally once cure it along with my prescription.

Is it better to try something over the counter or have your doctor prescribe you to something?

I was recently told invade a yeast infection about almost a month ago the doctor gave me a pillow to clear it but I think it came back cause now its itching down there ....

told me to use an over the counter kit. The only thing was that I was to use one that took more then 2 days...so like 3-7 day kit and not to insert it all the way.
