Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have itchiness and odd brown discharge after using monistat 1. I had some itching and white discharge before using monistat and the day after I began using the medication the discharged turned to a frothy pink and after 3 days I was discharging what appeared to be large blood clots. Now I am 8-9 days past inserting the monistat and the itchiness is coming back. This was my first yeast infection and I had some severe itching following my gallbladder removal surgery one month ago. Any ideas on what is wrong with me?
Headache, vaginal or urethral burning, itching or pain, or lower abdominal cramps may occur with the use of monistat. Itching may increase in some women after insertion of monistat.
Long standing fungal infection can occur due to immunosuppression. Diabetes is an important cause of immuno-suppression. Kindly check your blood sugar levels. I would suggest you to switch to oral antifungal drugs like fluconazole instead of vaginal insert.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Saranya Ramadoss, General & Family Physician
