help I have a yeast infection and I just had a baby I don't want to use Monastat?

Question

I went to the doctors and they said just to use the Monastat but that means I have to put them up my very sore and scary you know what. What else can I do?

Answer 1

Call your physician back and request a prescription for Diflucan instead. Diflucan is an oral antifungal that will treat the yeast without having to be inserted into the vagina. If you explain your discomfort, I can't imagine they would refuse.

Answer 2

There isn't much else you can do, unless the doctor wants to prescribe you Diflucan, which is a pill. If you are breastfeeding, you don't want to take the pill, it may cross over into your breastmilk.

I don't know how old your baby is, but you may be really sore down there because of the yeast infection. I suggest getting the monistat cream and using it, it will soothe your sore vaginal canal, and most likely the pain will go away a bit, since there isn't an overgrowth of candida down there.

Go to the drug store now and get some monistat!!!!

Try Yeast Infection No More : http://YeastCured.com/

Answer 4

Before trying Monistat, try eating yogurt of the sort that has live cultures. The cultures are a competing organism, and will hopefully be able to overcome the yeast. If that doesn't work, then Monistat is the next best choice, especially if you are breast-feeding.

Answer 5

Drink plenty of 100% Cranberry Juice watered down 50%.. If you are nursing drink 8-10 glasses a day or more if you can and get plenty of water... That will help flush out the infection..Also, eat yogurt. Good Luck and congrats on the baby !!

Answer 6

Use plain organic unsweetened yogurt with active cultures
