I just went to the store and bought the one-day Monistat treatment. I’ve never had a yeast infection, so I’m kinda new to all this….
How long until I’m "treated"? I mean, I know its a one-day treatment, but does that mean that I’ll be totally better and cured in one day? or longer?
It says don’t use tampons or have sex until you’re all the way treated, but how long should that be? Do I just wait until all my symptoms are gone? Any advice is greatly appreciated!
No, it’s not over in one day. The medicine stays in your body, and works over 3 to 4 days. And no, you’ll want to avoid having sex or using tampons if you want the medicine to work. 4- 5 days should do it. If your symptoms don’t clear up in that time, you should see a doctor. I also think it’s interesting that you self-diagnosed a yeast infection, but said that you’ve never had one before. If it truly is a yeast infection, you’re doing the right thing … don’t worry.
