Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Is It Safe To Use OCT Genital Cream For Yeast Infection During Pregnancy?
I am 16 weeks pregnant and for nearly a month I at least have visited the doctors office for a yeast infection that just will not go away. They put me on a vaginal cream I had to take for 3 days and antibiotics (which made the symptoms much worse) I eat plain Greek yoghurt which has good bacteria in it. I also drink Cranberry juice which helps the Urinary Tract. Since the doctors visit doesn t seem to do anything for me. Is it safe to proceed and take and OTC Vaginal Cream for 7 days? I have a list of meds the Doctor gave me which is safe to take during pregnancy. One of them is Monistant.
Hi, Any local infection during pregnancy is not advisable. You can continue applying anti-fungal cream for 7 days, there is no harm. If it is not working then go for one oral anti-fungal medicine course after consulting your Obst. Keep local hygiene clean, dry and airy. Ok and take care.
