How Long Does It Take For A Yeast Infection To Go Away?
I was diagnosed with a yeast infection, and started treatment Wednesday night. I started using the Monistat, and continue to use it, but have also taken the oral medication too. How long does it normally take for the yeast infection to go away? Thanks for your help!

Treatments can vary from 1 to 3 to 7 days depending upon the strength of the dosage. Just follow the dosing schedule on the included literature for whichever one you purchased. Even after treatment it may take a day or two for all the discharge to be emitted as your body sheds the infection. If the infection recurs or comes back after a few days, consult with your OB/GYN as you may require a stronger prescription and to also rule out other possible complications.

Well, any time that I have a yeast infection, I don’t use Monistat or anything like that, so I can’t help you with that part. However, I do have some other advice. Drink lots of Cranberry Juice. The last time I had a yeast infection, I drank three cups of Cranberry Juice, and the infection was gone by the next morning.
