A week ago today, I thought I had a yeast infection. Treated with monistat 1. NEVER use monistat 1. The itching and burning increased x100. I have been miserable. I have been urinating in a sitz bath to ease the discomfort. I am very red and inflamed. The dr said this is a common reaction to the one time monistat dose. He took a swab and it came back positive for BV. Third time in the past year. He said this is why these symptoms aren’t going away. I am still convinced it’s he monistat, but I’m willing to try anything to get some relief. Oral flaggyl and I do not mix. I was having diarrhea numerous times a day to the point where my bottom was bleeding. So my next options are metrogel or clindamycin creme? I’m worried with metrogel, I will have the same side effects. I am also worried about becoming further irritated down there. If anyone has taken either and can share their experiences; I appreciate it!

    Also for some relief of burning try oatmeal bath or a little bit of honey or coconut oil down there. Let me know how it works for you.

    Jas anyone tried peroxide? I heard it helps for a couple of days. I've never tried it but have heard of people using it.

    Gosh don't know which one would be best. You might want to look up the success rate on each one. Then maybe you will have a better idea
