I have taken diflucan and Bactrim all of last week. This second week I have been using monistat 7 day treatment because I got a yeast infection from taking the other medication for a UTI and BACTERIAL VAGINOSIS. Two questions-First I am on my 4th day of the monistat treatment and forgot last night. Should I take it now that I have remembered or should I wait till before bedtime tonight. Second question-Now that it is the second week can I start back having sex or will my nexplanon interfere with me taking the monistat cream?
Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. Longterm treatment with antibiotics can develop candida infection. I also suspect same in you. I advise you should do your urine for culture and sensitivity. If it won't show any bacteria than there is no need to take the further antibacterial antibiotics. This will father increases candida infection. If the culture shows candida infection than only antifungal medication is needed. If you forgot the first pill of antifungal medication than you should take it as soon as you remember it. But please put 4 to 5 hour gap between the two. Avoid sexual exposure until you are fully cured. Otherwise, the cross infection will be maintained between the two partners. This will make the infection difficult to treat. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist, ChatDoctor.
