Thankfully yes, u can buy Monistat at your favorite pharmacy for relatively low money expenditures. There are several 'types', mostly differing in amount and # of days treatment. It's all kinda messy... such is our lot in life. Just pick out your favorite and have fun. Monilia is not as bad as Bv. Why do we get all of the "private stuff"?

you can go to your doctor or health clinic and they have a pill that cures the yeast infection in one day. Many antibiotics can give a woman a yeast infection but if you use over the counter vaginal creams and are on birth control it can decrease it's effectiveness so be careful if doing that method and plan on having intercourse.

The metronidazole is a powerful antibiotic that kills off not only the pathogenic bacteria but the good bacteria as well and then the yeast are able to over multiply, and cause a yeast infection. Fluconazole is an oral rx med that can treat the yeast internally and miconazole is an over the counter cream that will treat it intravaginally. If you ever have to take the metro in the future, be sure to ask for fluconazole aka diflucan to treat the subsequent yeast infection that may occur.

Thanks Pattishan61 !!
which is better ?? fluconazole or miconazole??
or must i take both ??

They both are pretty good, fluconazole is rx only in my country, but, the advantage is that it can be taken just before you finishing the bv metro treatment, and you will circumvent the yeast before it gets very bad. The miconazole is cheaper and over the counter, and soothes the itchy irritated skin. Once you have had a yeast infection, you are a bit more prone to it in the future. I don't know why drs don't automatically give a fluconazole rx to anyone who has to use the metro, it almost always causes a yeast infection. You're welcome hope you are completely well soon, been thru this pretty often myself patti
