I used Monistat-1 on Tuesday night for a yeast infection before bed. It's not Friday and since then, I've been having a white, sort of grainy like discharge. It kind of smells sterile or like medicine. Is it the medicine coming out of me? Is this normal? And should I call my gynecologist? I just had my annual a little over a week ago and had no problems. Tested for STD's and STI's, all are negative. I did have bacterial vaginosis (BV) about a month ago and got a prescription for that. I also have a mild burning since having this new discharge. Help!
This is normal. Monistat-1 is a single dose vagin*l cream/tablet used to treat a vagin*l yeast infection. The cream is designed to stay within the vagin* to work without having to reapply every day for seven days. It is normal to get some medicine leakage/discharge. These products may be a bit messy but they are effective.
If you don't like the vagin*l products you can ask your Dr about Diflucan.
Diflucan is a single dose oral tablet used to treat a vagin*l yeast infection and you take it by mouth so it isn't as messy.
